Bonide Grass Beater II Over - The - Top Grass Killer is not labeled for control of torpedo grass, nor is it labeled for use on centipede turfgrass. Unfortunately, most products labeled for control of torpedograss are not safe to use on centipede. Solitare WSL Herbicide can be used on centipede at labeled rates, and it can suppress torpedograss (so it would not provide 100% control).
