It seems that all of these ag schools make one of these types of comprehensive weed and turf management 100+ page documents.

Someone posted one from purdue and @Movingshrub linked me one from NCSt. Lots of really good information in these documents. Only if I could remember it all.

If anyone wants a copy of the nc state one I don't mind grabbing one and mailing it out. The county ag extension is less than a mile from my parents house and they're free there.

@Ecks from Tex I'm confused in why thst would be special. Can get a 5lb tub of prodiamine for 60$ and Sulfentrazone for 80$ or so and tank mix them. Wouldn't thst be roughly the same?
You can and most do. It's hard to replicate the formulation, which FMC designed with Bermuda in mind. http://www.fmcprosolutions.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=V2entcdZ9pQ=&tabid=2537&mid=5025.

It can control yellow sedge post emergent and preemergent. Right now there are only about 4 products I know of that can control sedge pre-em, Pennant Magnum being the one I use. But Pennant is over $200.

They market the hell out of this stuff to Bermuda turf managers. They have a program where if you have crabgrass, goosegrass, or nutsedge break through the pre-em barrier, they will send you Dismiss NXT at no charge

@Ecks from Tex Interesting. Honestly the nutsedge is the only thing I'm having problems with right now. I keep hitting them with sulfentrazone but it's like wack-a-mole. Those die but a week later I get more in other areas.

Also what's the link to the picture? What's in the buckets? Looks like some fertilizer but not sure what kind.

Crap sorry. I meant to link to the FMC assurance program brochure for Bermuda turf managers. I accidentally had a photo last copied from another post in the forum where I was trying to get a closer look at those labels on the buckets. I changed the link in my post to the FMC program. It doesn't mean anything for the homeowner, but it's interesting how much they claim this is tailored to Bermuda

As far as sedges, you can control yellow sedge and killinga with a pre-emergent like Pennant Magnum (or something like this Eschelon). I use PM and can say I do not have a single yellow sedge in my lawn. I did this time last year. But you can't do anything on the purple sedge except near you're doing. Over time, your turf will thicken and it will squeeze out the sedges that are trying to grow up above the canopy. That's the only way - high quality turf.
