   What kind of movement does this have around bentgrass. How far of a buffer do I need or any at all . Spraying on dormant 419. Thanks

   I have heard some say it moves and others say it doesn't. We sprayed it around our greens last year with no problems. We went with granular this year around the greens without any problems.

   David,
   
   I wondered this last season doing it for the first time. No movement issues whats so ever. Go for it.

   I have been looking into using this next year. Does it need to be watered in immediately on dormant bermuda grass???

   Chase:
   
   No it does not. I always try and do it the day before a rain though. Spray it in the afternoon when the turf is dry. Golf shoes can track wet product onto bentgrass collars. Liquid ronstar and bent make for an ugly mistake.

   I have bentgrass greens with 419 surrounds and fairways in South Carolina. I have been spraying Ronstar Flo tank mixed with glyphosate in late January/Early Febuary for years now...no problems as long as the application is done correctly (calibration, product volumes, etc.). I take a skirted 5 gallon walking boom sprayer around the edge of the green to clean up any volunteer bent or poa, then tie in with my big sprayer. We have alot of winter play, so there have been times where I was forced to spray on frosted bermuda before a late shotgun...always scares me in terms of tracking, but have never had a problem with it. Have had some goosegrass break-thru in very high pressure, but all in all, have cleaned up the course very well with this program. You will need to realize that Ronstar is poor on control for broadleaves (particularly Dogfennel and Burnweed where we are), but they are relatively easy to clean up compared to goose. Good luck.

   Some people apply straight Ronstar (on a paper carrier) on bent greens so no worries about a buffer unless you are worrying about direct overspray of application on grass that isn't dormant. It isn't on label to apply to greens but isn't dangerous at proper rates. You won't get better goose control with any other per-emerge.
