If you put Roundup on the wild onions in your lawn will it kill your Bermuda grass?In: Home and Garden |
Answer 1
Unless the label says it will not harm your lawn, Roundup will kill the Bermuda grass, try using Weed B Gone, it will not harm your lawn, but keep away it from desirable plants.
Answer 2, Additional Info
Answer 1 is not incorrect, as RoundUp is a systemic herbicide, and will damage or kill your Bermuda, IF IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH [GETS ON] it.
However, if you very carefully use a technique used by farmers, you can get away with using RoundUp. As the wild onions grow much taller than your Bermuda, if you saturate [but not to the point of dripping off] an old disposable towel [rolled around an old disposable broom or mop handle] with RoundUp, and then "wipe" the onion tops with it, then the RoundUp will get only on the onions, be absorbed into the leaves, and will systemically kill them. Due to the limited amount involved, and the metabilism of most of the product within the onions, there should be no killing of your Burmuda.
It is critical however that you not allow even the smallest droplet of the RoundUp to CONTACT your Bermuda.j3h.
Answer 3
if you want to protect your lawn use selective herbisides like 2,4-D which will kill broad leaf weeds and do absolutly nothing to your lawn
