  • Asked by Valerie from Great Mills, Md
    03/12/2017
    Q
    What temperature is best to apply Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide?
    The label fails to adequately address temp conditions, but I did read 2 replies that state 55 low and 85 high. However, Maryland weather is extreme in varience, especially during March. For example, we've had anywhere from 78 degrees to 20's over the last month. Thus, weeds are in full growth, but night temps dip as low as 30 for the last 2 weeks. Snow this week in forecast. I have a beautiful green lawn (new from seeding in fall with regenerate) and also full of crazy weeds! So, when do I apply if overnight temps dip below 55?
    A

    Generally you would apply a post emergent herbicide like Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide when the weeds are actively growing and healthy, meaning not drought or heat stressed.

    It would be best to call your local county extension office for when to apply any type of herbicides or insecticides in your area.  They would know better than we would since we are not the manufacturer and we live in Georgia.  They will know exactly when you should apply it in your specific county.

    You can find your local county extension office information here.

  • Asked by Larry from West Union, Sc
    01/05/2017
    Q
    Will Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide kill Bermuda grass in a Zoysia lawn without damaging the lawn?
    A

    Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide is labeled for bermuda grass suppression, and would not hurt a Zoysia Lawn. Unfortunately, there is no herbicide that will completely kill bermuda grass in a lawn. However, you can use a product like Acclaim that when used multiple times can supress the bermuda enough to allow the other healthy turf in the area to fill in and literally smother it out eventually.  Please be aware that if you have lawns on either side of yours that either contain bermuda or are all bermuda the potential for that grass to re-invade is there.

    Q
    Should I apply Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide for crabgrass when the lawn is wet or dry?
    Going to spot spray the lawn with a backpack sprayer for crabgrass using .04 oz per gallon for the back pack sprayer, does the lawn have to be wet or dry when I spray the lawn is the question? Location is Long Island, NY
    A

    The grass should not be drenched or heavily wet before an application of Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide to help the product contact the leave surface.  You should use a surfactant like the Non Ionic Surfactant for Herbicides with Acclaim to aid in penetration as directed on the product label.

  • Asked by Jessica from Carroll County, Md
    03/20/2016
    Q
    Would Acclaim Extra work to control Japanese Stiltgrass in Bermuda turfgrass?
    The majority of the turf is bermuda, not sure of the type. I do not want to kill the bermuda turf, but the stilt grass is the main target.
    A

    Unfortunately, Japanese stiltgrass is not only extremely difficult to control with most chemicals, but it is also similar in plant structure to bermudagrass. This means if a product controls the stiltgrass, then it has the potential to damage, suppress or kill the bermudagrass that its sprayed on as well. This is the case with Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide. Most customers will spot treat the stiltgrass with RoundUp and reseed with the desireable turfgrass to help reduce the chances of it coming back.
