If you are hand-brushing it, just go ahead and use glyphosate. You'll definitely get a kill on crabgrass.gardencityboy said:
quinclorac and sledgehammer mix on Bermuda
Anyone has mixed quinclorac and sledgehammer for application on hybrid bermuda?
I have hybrid bermuda and I have read that quinclorac can cause some stress in hybrid bermuda. Till now I have been using a brush to apply quinclorac on post emergent crab grass and it has weaken them but I think I need another application, no problem seen on Hybrid Bermuda with this type of application.
I also have problems with nutsledge now and need to apply sledgehammer. I was planning to mix both and apply using a back pack sprayer with fan tip on both crab grass and nutsledge. Would this cause any problem to my hybrid bermuda?

@gardencityboy What two items are you planning to mix for the crabgrass and nutsedge? Quinclorac and Sedgehammer? Also, to my knowledge, quinclorac isn't known to help with the sedges and the sedge hammer isn't know to help against crabgrass, so other than convenience, I don't know if there is any value in mixing the two. Lastly, quinclorac works on baby crabgrass and adult crabgrass, but not teenager crabgrass, so your success is going to be impacted by the size/tillers of the plant.
Quinclorac should work on adult crabgrass as well.
I think your only other options would be something like MSMA or Celsius.
