Yea Pastora doesn't work well on Vasey grass from my experience.....thnk I used impose? Been a few years since I had problems with Vasey grass....purty sure it was impose, stunted the Bermuda good but got rid of the Vasey grass....

I want back and checked yesterday, it was impose that I sprayed for Vasey.....works really well whether spot sprayed or broadcasted....I do remember it stunting the Bermuda good, but all was well in 30-40 days and Vasey was gone....hth

I agree 100% pastora was big waste of time and money!! I'll never use it again!

Don't say that! If you ever get sandbur....better get some Pastora. If ya ever have a problem with Baha'i.....better get some Pastora

Gotta trust those labels.....if it says poor control, that means it don't work at all...

I've found Pastora to be a great product for the grasses and weeds specific to the label, very common ones for Bermuda fields. But what I like best about Pastora is less stunting of the Bermuda.....that's an advantage in spring. Don't work on nutsedge either....

Hold on now! I'm specifically talking about Vasey grass in a Coastal patch is all! I'm informing people on here my experience with the product! What I'll add now is the rep for the company said I would get a 70 to 80% kill where all it did is turn it purple for 2 weeks and then it came back with a fury! Regardless what the label says, I went on and trusted the rep for the company! Plus other people as well and I am telling you it's a huge waste of money on Vasey grass for I experienced zero kill!

Easy there silentH.....I'm not trying to offend ya or anything, thnk you may have taken my ! The wrong way. But I will tell ya don't believe everything them reps tell ya.....I don't even think Vasey grass is listed on the label for Pastora, it may be but I don't think so, if it is, it's only marginal at best. I've been using Pastora for about 8 years now with the exception of 5 years ago when I had a infestation of Vasey grass, it was very easy to see that the Pastora had little effect on the Vasey, it did however control the sandbur that was a bigger problem than the Vasey, once the burr was eliminated, I sprayed impose to kill the Vasey......once again, the impose is labeled for Vasey or I wouldn't have used it.....worked for me, like I said earlier, it stunted the Bermuda purty good but knocked the Vasey out completely!

Bottom line is you're right, Pastora is crap for Vasey grass....but then again it's not really made for Vasey grass....whoever told you that was trying to make a buck. However, once you get that Vasey under control, the Pastora product is excellent for controlling what it was formulated to control, since MSMA nothing better for burrs......good luck

What are you paying for on the impose?
I need to spray a field and I'm afraid pastora isn't going to work.

Lol, you must not have read the title of the thread Colby, Vasey grass.....

First thing I'll say silent H, make damn sure the Bermuda is cut before spraying that round up! If its cut, then is the Vasey cut? I would leave the roundup out of this mixture if it were me.......it's just not needed to control Vasey. In the spring after a cut....then perhaps roundup in the mix. Just my .02

Fall is the time to encourage as deep a root system as possible going into dormancy, I don't like to cut later than sept 25th here and would rather not cut that late. If the field had plenty of N during the year then it should have time to grow (roots) adequately going into dormancy. I suppose the exact micro climate you're in really is the determining factor as to how and when but I don't like to stress the plant too much in the late fall....anytime you spray gly on Bermuda do so very carefully, immediately after cutting is usually the best method.....hth

I read it, what I'm getting at is we sprayed a field with pastora in the spring and there was other grassy weeds that came up after that the hogs are rooting the hell out of right now.
I've killed 20 of them in the past two weeks on this patch.
I asked how much he was paying for the impose cause I've never seen it for sale where we get herbicides.
I don't see a point in paying 320 dollars for pastora again when it didn't kill it the first time.

Damn it jim! 20 hogs...wow that would qualify as infested huh.....

Any idea what them weeds/grasses are? Are you gonna spray the whole field or spot spray? I've been spot spraying with cadre some for nutsedge.....it'll brown the Bermuda purty good, hard to get them spot spray application rates right tho......been a wanting a high tech weed wiper, just don't want to spend the dollars...out of em and the only press is operating a full capacity at the U.S bureau of engraving and printing.
