Buffalograss Exhibits Adequate Turf Tolerance to Postemergence Herbicides Applied During or Shortly After Greenup

Core Ideas Many postemergence herbicides can be safely applied during buffalograss greenup in early to mid‐April (0% greenup) with little chance of turf damage. Herbicide that does not contain 2,4‐D can be safely applied during buffalograss greenup until 1 June (70‐85% greenup). Herbicide containing 2,4‐D should be applied before the first week of May (10‐15% greenup) for turf safety concerns, or apply no later than third week of May (50‐60% greenup) for acceptable stand during the summer months.
