Crabgrass in newly seeded bermuda lawn

I recently planted bermuda seed in a new lawn. The original lawn was sprayed with roundup, tilled and then seeded with straw placed over it.

The bermuda was coming up good but recently crabgrass appears to be taking over.

What should I do?

Thanks!

Try a chemical called “revolver” follow the label. It works like magic.

In Florida, Revolver has not shown any effect on crabgrass. Also, seedling bermudagrass should be well established before treatment.
