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.
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.

Since Battleship III Herbicide is a post-emergent herbicide, it is only going to kill weeds that are emerged at the time of the application. Broadleaf weeds germinate at different times of the year so follow up or split applications may be required.

You can apply 3-4 pints per acre (1.1 fl oz to 1.5 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft) per application.
