The researchers tested different herbicides on Tifton 85 bermudagrass to see how well it could handle them. They used two methods to apply the herbicides: spraying them over the whole area or targeting individual plants. They found that some herbicides caused damage to the grass, while others didn't. One herbicide, metsulfuron methyl plus dicamba plus 2,4-D, didn't harm the grass at all. Triclopyr, on the other hand, consistently stunted the grass and reduced its yield. It's important for farmers to be cautious when using triclopyr to avoid harming their bermudagrass.
