Celsius is applied at three different rates depending on the weeds to be controlled. For the appropriate rate, consult the USE RATES FOR WEED CONTROL section on the Celsius product label.
Celsius WG Herbicide is not labeled for matchweed.
Celsius WG Herbicide would be mixed at the rate of 0.085 oz (2.4 g) of product per 1,000 sq ft in at least 1 gallon for red and tall fescue only per the product label.
Celsius WG Herbicide is not labeled for treating algae.
Celsius WG Herbicide is not labeled for tumblegrass. Unfortunately, we are not aware of any products on our website labeled for this type of grassy weed. You may want to reach out to your local Cooperative Extension office for recommendations on controlling this plant in your landscape.
No, Celsius WG Herbicide is not labeled for eradication of Poa Annua.
Celsius WG Herbicide is applied at 0.113 oz per 1000 sq ft for Virginia Buttonweed on St. Augustine lawns.
For spot treatments, mix 0.057-0.113 oz (1.6-3.2 g) of Celsius WG Herbicide per gallon and apply until weeds are wet. One gallon of spray solution will treat up to 1000 sq ft. Per the product label, a second application of this product may be needed for control. If weeds are showing signs of recovery, make a second application 2-4 weeks after the first.
To decrease the effects of Celcius WG Herbicide injuring the lawn, you could have possibly used an activated charcoal product within hours of the application and watered the area a lot. At this point, it may be too late, and only time will tell. We would recommend watering the area very well and contacting the manufacturer (Bayer) directly at 800-331-2867 for more information.
Celsius Herbicide should not cause fungus in your lawn when used as directed on the product label. For more information, we would recommend contacting the manufacturer (Bayer) directly at 800-331-2867.
With an herbicide like Celsius WG and many others, if sodding is not stated specifically on the label we recommend waiting at least 3-4 weeks after an application of Celsius before putting down the new zoysia sod.
The seeding interval will vary depending on what type of turf you have. To rake you should wait until the weeds are completely dead. You should review the product label for specific directions for your turf. For example:
"Seeded Bermudagrass: This product may be applied to Bermudagrass up to 90 days prior to seeding without a significant reduction in Bermudagrass stand."
"Seeded Zoysiagrass: This product may be applied to zoysiagrass up to 90 days prior to seeding without a significant reduction in zoysiagrass stand."
Celsius WG Herbicide is for use only on warm-season grasses, so if you have a cool season lawn, then this product would like damage or kill it. When used as directed it would not harm the lawn.
Celsius WG Herbicide is not labeled to be applied where animals there are grazing animals or livestock.
Please view our Range and Pasture Page for products labeled to be used in areas where grazing animals or livestock may be present. Review the individual product labels to ensure proper application methods are followed.
Celsius WG Herbicide will not work well in a hose end sprayer because those sprayers are not accurate enough to apply the correct amount of product. You will need to use a hand pump sprayer and uniformly spray the product over the specified area. As with most herbicides the exact volume of water is not very important, you just need to be sure you are getting the correct amount of product on a specific area. Celsius may be applied at three different rates depending on the weeds to be controlled. For the appropriate rate and species consult USE RATES FOR WEED CONTROL section on the Celsius product label.
Celsius WG Herbicide is not labeled to be used on fescue (tall or fine fescue) Per the product label, "Do not use this product on bahiagrass or cool-season turf types, including tall fescue, fine fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, or creeping bentgrass".
The product label does give a 28 day interval if overseeding Bermuda with Ryegrass however we would recommend contacting Bayer directly for questions regarding seeding with fescue. Bayer can be reached at 1-800-331-2867
Avenue South Broadleaf Herbicide would be a better option for use on Fescue.
