That special sauce was a combination of Assulox, Atrazine, Basagran and Prograss(Ethofumesate).

Thank you (times a million)

Just spoke with one of the lawn care guys this morning. Discussing products, etc. Really cool guy, and learned a little about spraying technique, etc. He mentioned the ratio of Atrazine to knock out Bermuda was 25oz/150gallons i had to use my memory to remember it. Does that sound about right to you? (this was for Atrazine by itself) Also mentioned that Assulox was banned which i had not realized . Hmmmm, never heard of Basagran . Will definitely be looking into this. Based on the results @CenlaLowell had with Prograss and Atrazine, i can only imagine that adding the other 2 would for sure annihilate the Bermuda.

I can tell from the experience I had you will need much more atrazine. That guy must have been spraying the atrazine that farmers use which has a A.I of 41%. Ours is not near that potent, so last time I sprayed I used 64 oz to 16 gallons of water.

Basagran was the second component of a Premix marketed by BASF. Called Prompt. It contained Atrazine and Basagran. Prompt was a convenient way to get turf labeled Atrazine in the 1990s. Assulox was allowed on residential turf until 2000. Manufacturer decided not to submit the data to keep it as a residential turf herbicide.

Interesting..., i wonder why the would do something like that. It seems to me that a product also labeled for residential use would drive down costs for everyone while selling more product. The only 3 reason i could come up with is 1) the production of the product was the bottle neck or 2) possibly they wanted to keep any overhead costs to a miniumum, or 3) The key buyers of Assulox do not want to lose market share to the homeowner. Just looked and it seems domyown.com will sell it to Florida although there are many other states they will not sell it to.

Wow, that seems like a lot of Atrazine. Wishing i had thought to ask for the percentage.

Yeah it is a gallon doesn't cover very much. Atrazine for homeowners is at 4%.

Okay that makes sense with the differing percentages, would never have thought it would be at 4% for homeowners though. But considering it was banned once, i guess that makes sense too. In the hopefully near future if i can afford to mix this with Assulox and Bassagram, and Prograss, im thinking im gonna need a hazmat suit. I literally watched the guy on a huge lawn mower cut the neighbors yard across the street (and their yard is stuffed full of weeds), then come directly between my house and the next door neighbors inorder to mow the next door neighbors yard. So i now know where my Bermuda may be coming from. Looks like im going to have to fight it in an ongoing manner or just pave that side of the house, dunno.

Well, i called "True Green" this morning and the conversation went something like
TG: "Hello this is TG how can i help"
Me: "I'm calling because i handle a lot of my own yard work and . . . "
TG: (click..... beeep)

Thought that was funny. Lol. Was looking to see if they would apply a custom application for me.

So i've decided, I"m going to set aside some funds to do the Bermuda kill. And will be wearing a $25 disposable hazmat suit, like the one seen in this video. I see no other option. The Bermuda is invading. I may just keep dropping the hose-end sprayer of atrazine once every 2 weeks, just to stunt it at least a little bit. Will also be learning the ins and outs of Bermuda grass as well. Hazmat suite is at 6min & 10 seconds in.
