I saw somewhere that it will take upwards of a 41% or so strength of the Glyphosate. It’s also available on Amazon.

Not all lawns have the ProVista. Best to spray a small test area. If you’ve had your lawn replaced (whole or in part) it most likely was not replaced with the ProVista. I don’t know why, as a Bermuda Grass invasion is very common. Spraying the Glyphosate is a very good control. Best to get it early as it spreads quickly. It’s also recommended not to do an area more than 3 times per year.

I also read in this forum that the villages once used it (the ProVista) but stopped and is using another varietal of St Augustine.

Lots of information on the internet about it.
