an herbicide called cimarron by Dow kills bahia. good luck.
I think it's actually Bahia.. I have for years thought people were saying Mahayana or Maheya. Recently I found out it was actually Bahia grass. Google that and you will find your answer. :)
It should blend in with it :)
The longest hill in the Philippines is referred to as the Chocolate Hills. They get their name from the fact that their green grass turns brown during the dry season.
grass - it gathers what moisture it can during the rainy season and when the dry season comes, it turns brown to conserve water in it's roots until water becomes available again in the rainy season.
Yes. Products containing Atrizine should not be used on Bahia Grass.
There is not really any weed control out there that will kill one type of grass and not the other. If you want to get rid of Bahia grass in St. Augustine, you best bet is to spray the areas of Bahia grass with Roundup (the ready to use kind with the blue sprayer). Avoid as much of the St. Augustine as you can as Roundup is non selective, and then in the bare areas left by the dead Bahia grass you can put new St. Augustine in 7 days later. If the bare areas left are not too large, you can fertilize the St. Augustine encouraging it to spread into the bare areas.
Fire (never recommended) would destroy any grass above ground but would have no effect on its root system. Bahia grass grows best in sandy or dry soil, which is why it's so popular in sandy coastal regions. One of the surest ways to kill bahia grass is to drown it by keeping the soil consistently moist until it dies back.
The growth habit of bahiagrass is having sandy soils with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. This grass has deep roots.
In Texas, where I live, it's brown in summer.
