I may have screwed up bad, I laid sod at the end of September. Yesterday, I went to ACE and grabbed a bag of what I thought was just fertilizer " I apparently can't read" it was Weed & Feed for St Augustine, its make up is 29-0-4 with 2% Atrazine. What the odds that I killed my sod? The soil is pretty sandy, I turned on my sprinkler system this morning to water those zone for 30 minutes a piece, and we are suppose to get rain this evening. My sod is about 25% dormant.

I know I am an idiot but it is what it is!

I have read mixed answers on the Atrazine, some people say it will kill Bermuda, some say it won't. I figured this would be a really good place to come to get a solid answer. Worst case scenario I have to put down about 15,000sqft of sod again! LOL!!

Thanks for the response.

I didn't think anything could kill Bermuda since it's really a weed. It may look rough for a few weeks but it will be fine once it grows a bit.

The main threat is possible root inhibition or damage, especially on newer sod. But if everything rooted down strongly last September you should be fine. Once warm/hot weather arrives, Bermudagrass will take off and regrow any damage.

Awesome, best news I've heard all day!

Thanks alot!

I've mixed atrazine to spray for certain trouble weeds that 2,4-d won't touch and sprayed it all over a Bermuda yard. Have not noticed any issues except for dead weeds.

Atrazine can burn bermuda if it is warmer outside but as far as killing it good luck. I had a yard with st augustine that bermuda was mixed in. I intentionally used atrazine to try to kill it and when it was warmer it would burn/turn it brown but in the end the bermuda always came back no matter how much atrazine I put on the zard. Be careful using atrazine around trees. I have seen it kill a live oak before.

You'll be fine
