    Q
    Controlling quackgrass in Kentucky Bluegrass
    The Michigan State University extension website says "If your lawn is primarily Kentucky bluegrass, there is a selective herbicide that will remove the quackgrass without killing the rest of your lawn. This product is only available to professional lawn care operators, and they need to make two applications on a 14-day interval. The name of the product is Certainty." However, your Q&A section includes an answer that says Certainty is not "labeled for use on Kentucky Bluegrass." Can you clarify the apparent disconnect?
    A

    Since we do not make this product we have to go by what the manufacturer supplies us with. Kentucky Bluegrass is not on the label so we have to assume it cannot be used on that type of grass. However, here is Monsanto's telephone number 800-332-3111. We recommend contacting Monsanto and speaking wit…

    We applied Certainty to our entire yard yesterday to kill off the poa trivialis. What typically happens, does it turn a color as it is dying?

  • Asked by Carl from Georgia
    03/24/2016
    Q
    What is the Certainty mixing instructions per 1 gallon or 2 gallon of water?
    Most of the mixing instructions you have provided to customers here say X number of small or large scoops per gallon. When clearly the directions state per 2 gallons vol of water. Please explain. I don't want to be putting the product out too week of course :)
    A

    The small scoop for Certainty is .16grams and the large .8grams. Depending on what you are treating for and what type of turf you are treating for would make the difference in how many scoops you would use per gallon water. On page 2 of the Product label you will find the mix chart.

    I thought I was going to be able to use Certainty to kill the tall fescue in my KBG lawn until I read the note on the label change after 2011. What is the right product to use now?
    A

    We do not carry a product that will take fescue out of kentucky blue grass.  Unfortunately they are so closely related that you cannot selectively remove it with any product that we are aware of.  Your best option in this scenario is to kill the fescue with a Ranger Pro (glyphosate) produc…
