Control Bahiagrass and Broadleaf Weeds with Chaparral™ Herbicide
Notes Bahiagrass may have its place as low input, low yield pasture, but many bermudagrass producers consider it a weed. Bahia reduces forage yields from bermudagrass pastures and hay fields, lowers bale quality and makes hay harder to market. Broadleaf weeds in a bermudagrass have a similar depressing effect on yield, quality and marketability. Two Birds, One Stone You can achieve cleaner bermudagrass season long with one early season application. Chaparral ™ herbicide controls both Pensacola bahia and a wide spectrum of broadleaf weeds. Chaparral is a unique dry formulation intended to be mixed with water. To control Pensacola bahiagrass in established bermudagrass, apply Chaparral at the labeled rate of 2 to 2.5 ounces/A. Spray after greenup in the spring, but before bahiagrass seedhead formation. Spray only when environmental conditions favor grass growth.
No Tank-Mix Partners Do not add 2,4-D to Chaparral in a tank mix or use liquid fertilizer as a carrier unless you’re willing to accept a lower level of bahiagrass control. Chaparral in water with surfactant is the most effective mix on Pensacola bahiagrass.
