So, I went seed down 2 weeks ago on a 11k sq.ft. reno. I have really good grass establishment in areas, but have others I'm still working on. I'm getting some Bermuda that is coming up. Can I spray it now, or should I hold off until the spring?

Any herbicide will likely damage the seedlings at this stage.

Spray what? Pylex, Fusilade ?

I was thinking of using Ornamec.

I would not choose Ornamec for young grass or for seed that hasn't germinated. Ornamec will sometimes damage fescue if applied during the wrong temp or if the mix is off a bit. For young grass, that would be risky. Also, there is a 30 day reseed interval on Ornamec, per The Grass Factor.

That's good info. Thanks for linking it.

Bermuda is a tough weed. Yes Ware and j_nick, it is a weed north of the mason-dixon line.

It's not a very threatening weed up here in New Hampshire. Doesn't stand a chance here...

Most beautiful weed I've ever seen :lol:

Ohh this applies south of the mason-Dixon line too. Ive heard it sometimes referred to as devils wiregrass by the old timers around me.

I'm currently in the process of using Fusilade II to kill the bermuda in my lawn. It hurts the Bermuda, but its rough on the Fescue. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone with a lawn less than a year old. Triclopyr has also shown to cause some damage to it, but I don't think it'll ever kill it. I use Triclopyr in the summer months to keep it unhappy, to keep it from thriving, and now fusilade in the fall for the heavy punch to really hurt it. This is a multiyear battle.
