Buffalograss Herbicide Information
Weed Control in New Buffalograss (1st year)
Round Up or other glyphosate herbicides can be used prior to seeding for existing weed/grass control. Check the product label for the waiting period before planting new seed.
Pre-emergent herbicides can be used the first year, but ONLY applied after Buffalograss emergence. This can be done to control weeds that germinate later in the season.
Barricade (prodiamine) can be applied 60 days after spring seeding
Pendulum Aquacap (pendimethalin) can be applied 90 days after spring seeding
Post-emergent herbicides that can be used safely on first-year Buffalograss. It is safe to apply at seeding time with sequential applications throughout the season as instructed on the product label. Do not apply more than the maximum seasonal rate as specified by the product label.

Weed Control on Established Buffalograss (after 1st year)
Round Up or other glyphosate herbicides can be used in the early spring or late fall on FULLY dormant Buffalograss to control perennial cool-season grasses/weeds. Applications made to actively-growing Buffalograss may result in stand reduction.
Pre-emergent herbicides are strongly recommended on established Buffalograss stands. Best results are obtained with split applications for season-long control. Do not apply more than the maximum seasonal rate as specified by the product label.
