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.
