Q&A – How can I kill fescue in a Bermuda lawn in the winter?

Question:
How can I kill fescue in a Bermuda lawn in the winter?
​​
Answer:
Winter is the best time to do this. UT Extension Agent Booker T. Leigh says the Bermuda is dormant in the winter so you can spray and kill the fescue. But, you have to make sure the Bermuda is completely dormant before you spray. You should wait to spray until you have a few warmer days so the herbicide is more effective.
