I have a bermuda hay field (three actually) that has been invaded by bahia grass. It's common around here, but it doesn't make choice hay. Here's my problem.
Killing the bahia is trivial and cheap; I can hose it down with Ally (or the equivalent) and be done with it, but I'll be left with some big dead spots (i.e. NO HAY). The *real* expensive part is re-sprigging costal bermuda in those dead places. I have more time to spend that $$ so I've been trying to find some solution that would effectively discourage and eventually eliminate the bahia and encourage the bermuda (or at least not hinder it). That would allow me to still cut all or some of the field for hay, avoiding the one or two year down time for killing, discing, sprigging, etc.

Any ideas? Am I just losing it? [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
