Right now is a good time for Round Up (glyphosphate) in bermuda. A pre emergent should be used as well. The biggest help to control weeds is to have a thick healthy lawn. Once the bermuda starts growing spread some fertilizer, water and mow. Fertilizer will only be needed once every 2 months if you use a good slow release fertilizer. If you use a quick release fertilizer you will find the best results is once a month. If you don't want to put an inch of water down a week when temps are below 90 and up to 3 inches a week when temps stay above 80 at night and reach 100s during the day forget the fertilizerduring the hot months. You will be mowing every 3 days when temps, water and fertilizer reach the extremes. Mowing height is also beneficial to preventing weed growth. Mow at 2"-2.5" during the cooler months when it is growing. Keep it mowed, because when weeds sprout above grass they will also go to seed. When it gets hot raise it to 3" and I never go higher than 3".Guys that spray yards for a living may tell ya a 5 times a year is beneficial, but they are laughing with your check all the way to the bank. Most will give your yard a little dose of liquid fertilizer for a quick green up in May and yard owner is happy is doesn't know the difference.</blockquote>
