    Can Certainty Herbicide be used on Scotts Sun and Shade Grass Seed without killing it?
    A

    Q
    What selective herbicide do you recommend for cool season (Central Ohio) Purple nutsedge?
    Thank you.
    A

    While Certainty Herbicide - 1.25 oz.  cannot be applied to cool season lawns SedgeHammer + Herbicide provides selective post-emergent control of purple nutsedge, and can safely be applied to well established cool season turf grass types such as Kentucky Bluegrass, tall and fine fescue, and perennial ryegrass.  Sedgehammer + is considered one of the more "gentle to turfgrass", if used as directed on the manufacturer's product label.

    Q
    Will Certainty harm the trees that are planted in my lawn?
    I have crepe myrtles and maple trees planted in the lawn. They have 3 ft diameter mulched tree rings around the trucks. I have Bermuda grass.
    A
    The Certainty Herbicide - 1.25 oz. label indicates this can be applied around established woody ornamental plants as a directed spray. Neither crepe myrtle nor maple are listed as tolerant to over-the-top sprays, so be careful that you do not spray exposed roots or any green leafy tissue of those trees to prevent harm.

    How long do you have to wait before planting any edibles after spraying with Certainty??
    A

If an area of of lawn where it was applied is being converted into a vegetable garden area in the ground, the manufacturer recommends waiting at least 1 year from the last application before planting.

    Q
    Looking to control green kryllinga in the Sacramento area.
    Is it better to apply now (early December) or wait until closer to spring? I've got 1,100 SF of Kurapia.
    A
    When trying to kill green Kyllinga, it is best to apply Certainty Herbicide - 1.25 oz. when the Kyllinga is actively growing. The best time to apply is in the spring.

    Q
    Can I spray Certainty safely on Zoysia that's just started to green up to kill annual blue grass?
    A

    Certainty Herbicide - 1.25 oz. is safe to apply on Zoysia but not if it is in a transitional state. You will want to wait till your lawn is fully green before applying any products on it or apply only as a spot treatment directly to weeds.

    Q
    Is anything labeled safe for killing globe sedge in Floratam St. Augustine?
    A

    You could use a product like Dismiss Turf Herbicide to kill sedge and other weeds in the area. The most effective sedge products kill the plant slowly, and can often take a repeat application after 6 weeks to see full control. Nutsedge spreads through nutlets and tubers below the ground, so often when you kill the top plant, some of the attached tubers a few inches over will sprout a new plant. This is what makes sedge so invasive and hard to eliminate.
