Who has had success with killing moss that is showing up in bermuda grass and what did you use?
I'm open to granular or a liquid I can put in a hose end sprayer.

i have it showing up in my grass as well even in areas that are not wet areas. if you find a solution i would love to hear about it

Aerate and top dress. If that doesn't do it apply copper sulfate at a rate of 3 ounces in 3 gallons of water per 1000 sq. ft.

Do you have an irrigation system?
I have. I used roundup, a tiller, a drag and several pallets of Zoysia.
Will do
I was thinking of just going straight to the copper sulfate or whatever HD has.
I do but it doesn’t get much use.
Now there’s an idea...trying to keep feet down in business, eh?

Zoysia is the TSS of grass.
I was wondering because if it is getting too much water or water too frequently, the moist conditions will contribute to the moss problem. Copper Sulfate will be the quickest option. However, it never hurts to aerate and top dress with a sand/fertilizer mix with Bermuda. You will just have cores lying around unless you have a youngin with a 5 gallon bucket on hand.
I second the Zoysia.
Liming to proper PH may solve your problems.

I sure would like to see a few hot more days and warmer nights to see bermuda around here really get to growing, especially mini verde.

Centipedegrass prefers a more acidic soil than bermuda. The 5.5 range is what centipedegrass likes, bermuda is up around 6-6.5. Adding too much lime and raising the pH too much would not be the best route to go. Yes, low pH can contribute to conditions favorable for moss growth, however that may not be the best option with the centipedegrass. When in doubt, take some samples and take them to your county extension agent.
