    I live in the foothills of Central California and I have about 3 acres Bermuda lawn that always has a serious problem of what I call, bur clover. I've already applied Pendulum at the beginning of the year but we've had an unusually warm Jan and Feb and the bur clover is already showing up, but has yet to flower. Do you offer a post emergent that can help us?

    Jason,
    As for your bermudagrass lawn with the burr clover, my recommendation for you would be to apply Onetime herbicide for the control of the burr Clover. Onetime is a combination product that is very safe on common bermuda and deadly on several broadleaf weeds including burr clover. Results of the herbicidal activity appear in 2-4 days after application with complete death in 2-3 weeks following application. I would recommend a subsequent application of Pendulum Aqua Cap every 4-6 months as this will prevent other weeds from invading your turf.

    Thanks for your question.
