Hi-Yield Atrazine Weed Killer is not labeled to control Bermuda grass in St. Augustine. Unfortunately, because Bermuda and St. Augustine grasses are so closely related, there is nothing that will kill the Bermuda without harming the St. Augustine as well. It is typically recommended to spot treat the Bermuda with a non-selective glyhposate product and kill it directly, and then replant St. Augustine in those areas if necessary.
Applications should be made only with a hand pump sprayer equipped with a flat fan spray tip. Correct calibration of the sprayer is essential. Overdosing will cause severe plant injury and or death to the desired turf. Hi-Yield Atrazine Weed Killer should not be used in a hose end sprayer. Please review the product label to be sure this product fits your needs.
Applications of Hi-Yield Atrazine Weed Killer would need to be kept outside of the dripline of any nut trees.

Unfortunately, there is little that can be done to counteract the effects once Hi-Yield Atrazine has been applied to a grass species other than Centipede or St. Augustine grass. You can replant, but the product label states that if you are replanting with anything other than Centipede or St. Augustine, the minimum wait time for replanting is 12 months. You may wish to contact the manufacturer directly to see if they have any other recommendations. You can reach VPG/Hi-Yield by calling 855-270-4776.

Pre emergent applications with a product like Isoxaben 75 WG have proven to be the most effective way to control this weed. Research from several extension pages do suggest the use of Atrazine for this weed, but we are not able to guarantee its effectiveness. Also keep in mind given how persistent and pesky chamberbitter is, there is no one and done solution to take care of the weed so repeat application may have to take place in order to fully kill the invaders.
