I was hoping to cover quite the range of weeds, including Bindy-eye, Dandelion, Clover, Creeping Oxalis, Crab Grass (Crowsfoot), and Paspalum. My biggest concerns are Paspalum and Crab Grass.
Paspalum is sensitive to Mesotrione but it's not listed as a controlled weed, and Crab Grass is controlled post-emergence if it's in its' infancy.
On the other hand, DSMA controls Crab Grass and Paspalum and there's no mention of issues with Buffalo. The only issue is when you add MCPA.
So if the two could be combined I could theoretically spray the whole lawn with no real concern over my Buffalo, but I'm no chemist and I'm not about to combine the two without knowing it's safe to do so.
There would still be the concern about Creeping Oxalis and Bindy-eye. For those, I could use Bromoxynil & MCPA. I have seen information about Buffalo lawns being sensitive to MCPA and that it should only be used to spot spray, however, if you look at products like Yates Buffalo Pro, it's safe to use on Buffalo, and contains both Bromoxynil & MCPA. So I'm a bit curious about that.
I'm thinking it's the combination of MCPA and DSMA which is really bad for Buffalo, but again I'm no chemist, I'm just going off labels I have access to.
I just don't want to be out there week after week spraying different chemicals if I can knock out most of it in one go.
