Name This Weed | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

Grassy weed that is invading my Bermuda. Has flat blades that are about 1/4 inch wide. Please tell me what will kill this!

Bobby Master Identifier says:

This looks like Bahia grass. It is rather ugly in Bermuda lawns. Cut out a two inch square from the clump and look at the root system. It is build for survival!
