Abstract: A Formulation and Process for the Selective Control of Bermuda and other grasses in Bentgrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Dichondera, Fine Fescue, Tall Fescue, Annual and perennial Ryegrass and St. Augustinegrass turfs and Iceplant is disclosed. The disclosed process and formulation will not leave bare holes in the turf being treated. The disclosed formulation will not leave a chemical residue that is harmful to the turf under treatment. Said disclosed process may be employed as a preventive measure, such that bermudagrass and the like will be prevented from re-sprouting in the turf after the initial eradication. Also disclosed is a formulation and process that includes a biodegradable surfactant. Said surfactant is applyable to plants when the ambient temperature is in excess of eighty degrees Fahrenheit (80.degree. F.) without harming the turf plants.
