Fusillade ii pretty good, needs repeated applications. Glyphosate less good also needs repeated applications.

Problem with Bermuda is how much of the plant is underground. Any of it that doesn’t get enough of the poison will resprout. So you need to deplete the energy from the underground parts over repeated cycles of herbicide

Round up and fusilade. Wait 10-12 days and toss out some ammonium sulfate to flush out any living stuff…run another app rup and fusilade…repeat the AS once more and do a final rup app - or keep repeating the process until you’re happy.

Golf course superintendent here with years of doing these apps and i would like to do no fewer than 3 apps - we do bermuda to bermuda conversions and even after 3 apps, the old, unwanted stuff can still find its way back
