Eiminating Bahia in Bermuda

Anyone have any experience with this? I believe Cimmaron + is labeled for this but not sure. Wanted to see if anyone on here has tried this. Thanks!
 
I help care for our local cemetery and use MSMA to get rid of bahaia and other grasses and weeds but remember is you use MSMA, you cannot graze for some time.
 
We have used <a href="http://forages.tamu.edu/PDF/Pastora%20Label.pdf">Pastora</a> to kill Bahiagrass and will not harm your Bermuda.

We have one Bermuda field and three Bahiagrass fields.

We make sure to clean our spray tank really good after using Pastora and before spraying the Bahiagrass fields with GrazonNext.
 
OT. Just curious why kill it? For purist horse hay customers? I planted some a couple of years ago as it is very hardy and grows where I
usually have gaps in my bermuda patch. Since Coastal has to be sprigged, lot better option than having to rip it all up and find a sprigger
with spriggs and get him out at the right time and all that.

Funny about horse folks. Was talking to a new neighbor about hay for his horses. He was talking the purist line.......I had to laugh to
myself. What kind of crap was his horses eating out in their untended field all summer? How many times have I seen horses side by side
with cattle in a shared pasture eating side by side on a bale of sorghum-sudan and never hearing of the necessity for a vet. visit.
 
The bahia isn't as nutritious as the Tift 85 Bermuda, and it is also harder on the disc mower when cutting. I think the Bermuda would overtake it with the proper fertilizer, but was checking or chemical alternatives also.
 

15 yrs back while cutting a field of Coastal I had a hay baling customer show me some "new grass" called Bahia. Today his old Coastal field has about 90% Bahia. I think Bahia is as difficult or more difficult to control than Johnson Grass. Did I state I hate Bahia grass????
