How long for Roundup to Kill
I'm renovating a 1,000 sf portion of my lawn. I sprayed it with roundup 5
days ago and again yesterday. Both times I used a slightly stronger mix than recommended. Why a strong mix? I'm trying to kill Bermuda grass before sodding with zoysia. Bermuda is very persistent and I want to make sure and kill it. Why two applications? Again, I'm trying to kill Bermuda. Also, a second application makes it much more likely that everything in the area got a good squirt of roundup. Anyway, how long do I need to wait to till the area? Recently, the weather here (Atlanta) has been warm and very dry. I know the Bermuda is out of winter dormancy, but it may be drought stressed. Would this impact the "wait before tilling" time? Many thanks, KB |

Up to a week to show effects. |

Dave Answer: the label is misleading... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundup Dave Actually, the label is extremely thorough and precise. Instead of using wikipedia, which is not authoritative, why not use the actual label, which is 21 pages long and available at http://www.monsanto.com/monsanto/us_...undup_orig.pdf. Page 17 gives a list of weeds and application rate -- Regards -- |

For country folks, they was lieing their butts off. And, as anything else, its not what they tell you, its what they don't tell you that bites. Dave |

I have years of experience using Roundup and I have found their claims to be very inaccurate. Two products whose advertising sucks vs actual results are Roundup and Miracle Grow. Red |

No, I've used Crossbow (brush killer) mixed with glyophosphate, but the results were no better or faster than if I'd used either one individually. Think I'll give scythe a try - thanks for the heads up. Red |

No reason to add it unless you're looking for a quick knock down. The glyo generally does the same job by itself in 10 to 14 days. |
