Personally I nuked my entire yard last fall with two applications of Roundup mixed at double the recommended concentration to get rid of a Bermudagrass infestation and I have no guilt or regrets whatsoever.  [/quote]
This is the problem...  you went double the rate.  the bermuda grass isn't any deader at 8 ounces per gallon as opposed to 4 ounces that would have done the job.

the plant can only take in so much chemical  and going with the higher rate just wasted chemical.  And yes I know the bermuda is especially aggressive and would likely have needed multiple apps whether you went heavy or light..  back in the day,  chemical guy would measure chemicals by counting the number of glugs from the jug, I know I was there..  Those days are over,  especially as the formulations get better.[/quote]
Bottles of the most concentrated Roundup, 50% glyphosate, recommend 2.5 ounces/gallon as the normal concentration. Do the math and you find that this yields a 1% glyphosate mixture. You would think it's equivalent to ready-to-use consumer Roundup. But no, RTU Roundup is 2% glyphosate (plus another chemical or two). So the PP knows what he or she is doing.[/quote]
