Used VANTAGE to kill BERMUDA in CENTIPEDE LAWN

Just recently spot treated my CENTIPEDE lawn with VANTAGE a day after being cut. The VANTAGE looks to have killed the Bermuda, but has also knocked back the Centipede. Not killing it, but it hasn’t grown back since treated. The centipede doesn’t look dead, but not healthy, a little brown.

I am going to wait to see how long it takes for the centipede to green up and grow, then I’ll treat some other areas. I am going to wait til the growth I am treating is longer and lushier instead of a day after cutting.

Has anyone else seen this with using Vantage in a centipede lawn?

may be a little to hot to be spraying herbicde over the desireable turf.

Just give it a little time, it will come back. Here in North Florida, I’ve spot treated my Centipede with Vantage on a farily regular basis (whenever I spot Bermuda) and it always kills the Bermuda, but (as you described) also always causes temporary yellowing in the Centipede.
