Details

For optimum results:

  1. Add a spray adjuvant, such as DYNE-AMIC for best results
  2. Use a water conditioning agent, such as QUEST, for high PH and water hardness
  3. Avoid applying during excessively dry or hot periods unless irrigation is used
  4. Turf should not be mowed 1 to 2 days before and following application
  5. Reseed no sooner than 3 to 4 weeks after application of this product

For residential turf, golf courses, sod farm and grass grown for seed uses: Apply 3 to 4 pints of this product per acre (1.1 to 1.5 oz. per 1,000 square feet) to control above listed broadleaf weeds. Do not apply more than 4.2 pints of product (1.5 lbs. total ae) per acre per application. Do not apply more than 2 applications per year with a minimum retreatment interval of 21 days. The maximum use rate for most warm season grasses is 3 pints per acre.

On closely mowed golf course fairway bentgrass, apply this product at a maximum rate of 2 pints in 20 to 240 gallons of water per acre (0.73 fluid ounce in 0.5 to 5.5 gallons of water per 1,000 square feet). During conditions which promote turf stress use lower rates, 1 to 1.5 pints in 20 to 240 gallons of water per acre (0.36 to 0.55 fluid ounce in 0.3 to 5.5 gallons per 1,000 square feet). Slight turf yellowing will disappear after one week. To minimize grass injury, a second application should not be made for at least 4 weeks. Avoid swath overlaps. Do not use on golf course greens or tees.

    Battleship smoked puncturevine

    By David on 06/29/2011

    I had a 4 week old yard of seeded buffalo grass that was infested by puncture vine. This killed the puncture vine and the young buffalo survived.

    Good Stuff

    By Peter on 05/15/2014

    Verified Purchase

    I applied this with a 15 gallon sprayer towed behind my mower. It's important to first figure out how much area a full tank will cover so you know how much herbicide to put in. In my case, one tankful does about a half-acre with mower at idle speed. I saw results within a day, weeds were wilting. So far I am very pleased. No apparent damage to the turf. Be careful with this stuff, it's very concentrated. Important to get the coverage right I think.

    Gets rid of lawn weeds

    By Lowell on 05/11/2018

    I've used this herbicide for about 4 years and it does work on broadleaf weeds in the lawn. However, I've often made the concentrate too strong which has affected the grass, so I recommend not going over the recommended concentration.

    Great alternative to your normal 3-way

    By Michael on 06/18/2019

    I needed a product to spray in between my normal 3way apps with 2-4d in it. This product was more cost effective than most other options, but it did exactly what I needed, as well as putting a good knock down on some harder to control weeds.

Q
Can Battleship III Herbicide & MSMA be tank mixed together?
A

Neither the Battleship III Herbicide or MSMA Target 6.6 product label mentions restrictions regarding tank mixing with other herbicides therefore, we recommend doing a Compatibility Test, aka “Jar Test” to see if the 2 herbicides are compatible when mixed with water. A “Jar Test” is where you are mixing small amounts of each herbicide to 16 oz of water in a glass jar and looking for physical signs of sludge, clumpling or separation 

Please view our video on how to Tank Mix Lawn Care Products for a short tutorial on how to tank mix herbicides.

Q
Battleship III and pre-emergents

Can Battleship III be mixed with a pre-emergent for application at the same time? What standard pre-emergent do you suggest?

A
While a pre and a post emergent herbicide can be applied at the same time, it usually is not done since the timing for a pre emergent to be effective, and the timing for an actively growing weed to be controlled, would be different times of the year based on soil temps needed. The fall is the main time you hear people using both, but you must be cognizant of your pre emergent to make sure you are not applying it too early so it doesn't break down before you need it to for weed prevention. There is not a standard pre emergent that is used as it depends on the grass type you would be spraying over and what your target weeds are, since not all pre emergents will work on all weed species. If you want to provide our team with the names of your target weeds, we would be happy to make a pre emergent product recommendation. You can mix the Battleship III Herbicidewith most pre emergents provided both are labeled to be used in the same areas.

Q
What product would work for dock weed that is in an ornamental flower bed?
A

Battleship III Herbicide is labeled for dock but not labeled for use on ornamental flowers. Broadleaf weeds in a flower & ornamental beds will be treated very differently and much more carefully than would be needed in a lawn. Any broadleaf weeds (like clover, violets, dandelion, etc) have to be hand pulled or directly spot treated with a non selective herbicide avoiding any contact with desirable plants. Since broadleaf weeds are so similar in nature to most plants found in bedding areas, you would not be able to spray over the top without harming both. Any grassy weeds can usually be controlled with an over the top broadcast spray in flower beds with no worry of harm coming to them, but you will always want to check the product label for your specific species to be sure it’s safe. We recommend using pre-emergents as that is the most effective way to stop weeds especially in flower bed areas where chemical options are limited.
