What is a bahiagrass killer?

Glyphosate is a common herbicide used to kill bahiagrass. Glyphosate is typically used as a spot treatment and can be found in commercial weed killers, such as Bonide Kleenup Grass and Weed Killer, Roundup Original and Hi-Yield Super Concentrate Kill-zall Weed and Grass Killer.

Pre-emergent treatment for bahiagrass is frequently done with products containing Atrazine, such as Hi-Yield Atrazine or Southern Ag Atrazine. Experts typically recommend that gardeners apply Atrazine for four consecutive days to control bahiagrass growth. Landscape professionals typically use Metsulfuron to control bahiagrass. However, Metsulfuron is typically recommended only for professional use due to its high cost.
