Im looking at doing some spring plot up in Oklahoma next year but its hard enough keeping out bermuda now. Any ideas? Im thinking maybe plowing two to three times each time letting it freeze. Bermuda is very hardy and its seeds are like killing ben ladin. Im thinking ice might do the trick. Any help?

You guy's are trying to kill it and I've invested thousands just trying to grow it, that's not right.

roundup does work....its a glyphosate based chemical, which means it is non-selective so it will kill anything else you put it on with the bermuda.

Also you want to spray while the bermuda grass is actively growing so mid to late summer would be a good time to apply the herbicide wait a minimum of 7-10 days to then cultivate the area to bring up the rhizomes and stolons from underground to the surface so they can dry out and die.

It may take 2-3 yrs to completely eliminate the bermuda grass, but if done correctly the first time you can probably get rid of 75-85% of it with this method.

Also your level of success may depend on your soil type. I think sandy soils have a higher kill level than more clay type soils for some reason.

X2 on herbicides. There are some that target grasses specifically and don't harm broadleafs.

burn it, plow it, then round-up it.

But if you round up it its going to be a year before you can get any thing else to grow.

Some grasses you don't get rid of, you just cut them back.

If you plow it and get a hard freeze it may kill the roots, but you may have to turn the soil 2 or 3 times to get that to happen.
With that amount of time and diesel fuel it may be better to just spray. Also the rhizomes and stolons can be as deep as 6 inches or more which would be some serious soil turning to expose all parts that could resprout.

Same here HWY_MAN,you can spend a lot of money to get it to grow in your yard but then again you can spend a lot of money trying to kill it where you dont want it.It's a no win situation. confused2

I was going to suggest he get a contract with a baler, a hauler, and a cattle company. Surest way to kill bermunda that I know of...

I was looking at my friends 115 ac of bermuda. he has 25000 invested in growing the stuff, just sprigged in 40 ac. has it all irrigated off the colorado.

Heck turn it over and throw some winter rye. Deer like bermuda too.

Spray fusilade and round up together wouldn't hurt to add in a little fertilzer to help with the up take. Not sure fusilade has an ag label but it does kill bermuda grass.

If you plant your foodplot thick enough it will choke out the grass

Bermuda is one tough critter to eliminate, short of the Roundup/non-selective herbicides. And I have never heard of one working on dormant or plowed grasses; the more active in growth, the better the uptake of the herbicide.
And as mentioned, no residual activity, so whether you seed or sprig, you are good to go.

Re the "thick" food plot..I doubt any food plot will choke out Bermuda...maybe slow down the spring growth, but once the spring food plot stuff dies....lush Bermuda!
