I used mesotrione (tenacity) for the first time ever and wow! I didn't expect the level of bleaching it would do. Grass was super white. The pic is after finally mowing.
My question is, what should I expect after it "hopefully" kills off my bentgrass and other undesirables? Will it just brown out and become dirt spots that I'll need to reseed? Whatever it's doing is happening suuuppeeerr slow so I'm not sure what to expect.

Let it lead the Bengals to another mediocre season
Nothing you can do. It’ll grow out.
But don’t use Tenacity again, unless you have nimblewill or bentgrass. The internet pushes this shit, and it’s an awful weed killer product really..
Normal part of tenacity/mesotrione, it bleaches stuff. It attacks the ability for plants to photosynthesize.
The stuff it’s supposed to kill should die (might need another app) but your desirable turf will get its colour back no problem.
2nd app two weeks after 1st will finish off the bent grass
Lamar Jackson could probably help
