There is a Q&A on the MSM Turf Herbicide page that I have copied for you below with the answer we provided to other customers regarding applications to hay. Edible crops such as vegetables and fruit trees are not the same as or in the same category on labels as hay or grazing would be, and each would have their own specific use instructions on the label regarding restrictions of use.
Q
How soon can hay be cut after applying MSM Turf Herbicide?
A
According to the product label of Quali-Pro MSM Turf Herbicide, there are NO restrictions regarding cutting hay after the applicaiton. The product label states: "GRAZING AND HAYING RESTRICTIONS: NONE. However, coveralls and shoes plus socks must be worn if cutting within 4 hours of treatment." Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.

Unfortunately we do not carry a product that would kill bahia grass in fescue. Your best option would be to spot treat the bahia directly with a non selective herbicide and reseed/sod the desirable turfgrassThe normal protocol in the industry when using the same sprayer for multiple chemicals, is to triple rinse it between each use. You would want to run clean water not only through the tank, but pressurize it to pump clean water through the pump itself, hose, wand and nozzle to clean them. As long as you do a thorough job rinsing it you can swap over to a new chemical right away in the same sprayer.
