Special Weed Problems

More about weeds in bermudagrass seed production:

In bermudagrass production, canarygrass, summer grasses, nutsedge, and wild oats are generally the most common and problematic weeds. Herbicide options for these weeds are very limited, so planting bermudagrass in fields infested with any of these weeds is likely to be a poor investment. Paraquat can provide some control of wild oats and canarygrass, but timing is critical for success.
