    Q
    I mistakenly applied Celsius WG Herbicide as a spot treatment to my Kentucky Bluegrass lawn thinking this selective herbicide was safe. Is my lawn certain to die?
    A

    Since Celsius WG Herbicide is not safe for cool season turfgrasses per the product label. It would be difficult to say for certain to what extent the inury could be to your lawn. Factors such as the mix rate that is was applied, weather temperatures and the overall health of your turfgrass If your turfgrass does not recover from the treatment, you can try reseeding after 28 days otherwise you would want to wait 90 days to reseed those areas.

  • Asked by Patty from Gainesville, Fl
    05/01/2021
    Q
    Will Celsius WG harm beneficial insects (butterflies, caterpillars, bees, etc.)?
    Is it toxic to humans & pets?
    A

    People and pets should be out of the area while applying Celsius WG Herbicide until it has a chance to dry completely. This normally takes 4-6 hours depending on weather.  While it is not an insecticide to kill insects, they could be injured if sprayed directly. It would be best to apply when they are not in the area, early morning or later in the evening.

    Q
    Can I use a combination of blue marker dye and a wetting agent with Celsius WG?
    I am preparing to spray next spring when it starts emerging for Virginia Buttonweed in Bermuda Grass. Since my lawn is small, I will be buying two packets since I gather the button weed is very likely to take two applications.
    A

    Yes, a wetting agent/non ionic surfactant is needed when using Celsius WG. Spray indicators can be added at your discretion. It is used to help avoid overlap and not miss patches of grass.

    Q
    Can Celsius WG be sprayed directly on fakahatchee grass?
    A
    Celsius WG Herbicide cannot be applied on or near fakahatchee. It would most certainly harm it. Please let us know what type of weeds you trying to control. You can also contact your Master Gardner through your extension office for recommendations on what products are effective in your area.

  • Asked by Ruston from Hertford,nc
    08/14/2014
    Q
    Can you mix celsius, segment, prosedge and liquid fertilizer for weed and bermuda control in centipede lawns
    A
    Celsius WG Herbicide may be tank mixed with other products. However, the ProSedge only recommends tank mixing with Glyphosate herbicides and unfortunately, Celsius is not a Glyphosate herbicide. If this product is to be tank-mixed with other products, compatibility should be tested prior to mixing. To test forcompatibility, use a small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1 qt) of spray, combining all ingredients in thesame ratio as the anticipated use. If any indications of physical incompatibility develop (precipitation, settling, changes in color), do not use this mixture for spraying. Indications of incompatibility may occur within 5-15 minutes after mixing. Read and follow the label of each tank mix product used for precautionary statements, directions for use, geographic and other restrictions. To further inquire about the compatibility of the Celsius with Segment and a liquid Fertilizer we recommend you contact Bayer for guidance. Bayer may be reached at 800-331-2867.

  • Asked by Tom from Tampa Florida
    01/03/2015
    Q
    Celsius WG Herbicide product life
    I bought this and the product was manufactured two years prior (according to the label on the container). I appears to lose effectiveness rather quickly, wherein I have to now double the dose to get some response. The weeds are in a new area, so it is not likely there is weed resistance to Celsius occurring. Can you provide guidance as to the increased rate of application with product age?
    A
    When stored properly, out of extreme temperatures and out of direct sunlight, you can expect Celsius to last for about 3 years from the date of purchase. We no longer sell this product so any additional questions, we would recommend contacting the manufacturer, Bayer.

    Q
    I am in central texas, will Celsius WG harm blue bonnet plants?

    Blue Bonnet plants are not on the Celsius WG Herbicide product label as safe to be sprayed over or tolerant to the product so we would not advise using it in those areas. If you are looking for a weed or grass control product in blue bonnets you are welcome to tell us what you want to eliminate and we will see if we have a product better suited to your needs.

    Q
    Can Celsius WG be tank mixed with Surflan?
    Also wanting to know if Celsius be used on other centipede turf varieties other than Tifblair?
    A

    The Celsius WG Herbicide Label advises only mentions the Tifblair variety of Centipede lawns so we cannot advise the effects on other varieties of centipeded lawns. You will need to reach out to you local cooperative extenstion office or the manufacturer Bayer directly at 862-404-3000. 

    When wanting to combine two herbicides, we always recommend to follow the herbicide label instruction on tank mixing. You may find the tank mixing instructions on page 3 of the Celsius WG product label and page 8 of the Surflan Pro product label.

  • Asked by Alonso from San Antonio, Texas
    04/14/2018
    Q
    I have a Bermuda lawn and want to rid rescue grass in its post emergent state. What product should I use?
    Also what is a good pre emergent to stop rescue grass?
    A

    Prodiamine 65 WDG would be a great pre emergent product to use to remove unwanted rescuegrass from the Bermuda. We are not aware of a good post emergent product for rescuegrass that will not also harm the bermuda as in most cases customers have to spot treat with a roundup type product and resod/reseed the bare spot once dead.

  • Asked by Samuel from Hopkins, Sc
    07/28/2018
    Q
    I used Celsius WG Herbicide to treat Bull Paspalum in my Centipede lawn. The centipede leaves are starting to yellow but I am not seeing any change in the Bull Paspalun, Will my Centipede lawn recover and when can I expect to see results in the Bull Paspalum?
    I used this on about 5,000 sq ft of my centipede lawn used marking dye and a one gallon pump sprayer.
    A

    The product label for Celsius WG Herbicide states that Bull Paspalum may need a second application of this product for control. If weeds are showing signs of recovery, make a second application 2-4 weeks after the first, Typically after yellow, this will result in control of weeds within 1-4 weeks after application.  Do not exceed 7.4 oz (210 g) of product per acre per year (365 days)

  • Asked by Cj from Gulf Breeze, Fl
    08/16/2018
    Q
    Will Celsius WG Herbicide control chamberbitter in a centipede lawn?
    A

    Yes, Celsius WG Herbicide can safely be applied to a centipede lawn to control chamberbitter. However, we no longer carry this product. This is a very stubborn weed. Pre emergent applications with a product like Isoxaben 75 WG have proven to be the most effective way to control this weed. Research from several extension pages do suggest the use of Atrazine for this weed, but we are not able to guarantee its effectiveness. Also keep in mind given how persistent and pesky chamberbitter is, there is no one and done solution to take care of the weed so repeat applications may have to take place in order to fully kill the invaders.
