    Q
    Does crossbow kill hedge tree saplings less than 10 ft tall.?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is a vegetation management product which means it is not very selective, it will kill almost anything.  Although it will not harm a tree when used at recommended levels if it gets on the base of the tree, it will harm a tree if you spray Crossbow on the foliage. The required spray volume will increase substantially if the brush exceeds 5 feet in height. Brush over 8 feet tall is difficult to treat efficiently. Large brush or trees may be controlled better by basal or mechanical methods.

    Q
    What is the effect of Crossbow Herbicide on wild turkey populations in treated areas?
    I have a large mountain property with 60% cattle pasture and 40% forest managed for timber and wildlife. Am concerned about long range effect of spraying on wild turkeys, particularly hatching success.
    A

    We apologize, but we are not aware of any studies that have been done to determine what the effects of Crossbow might be on a wild turkey population.  You may wish to contact a wildlife specialist in your area for more information, or possibly contact the manufacturer directly.  You can reach Helena Chemical at 901-761-0050.

  • Asked by Tommy from Gloster, Ms
    02/25/2018
    Q
    I am looking for a herbicide that I can spray over my iron clad cow peas that will kill pigweed.
    I think thunder herbicide would work but is very expensive.
    A

    Pigweed can be difficult to treat around edible crops. Products that contain glyphosate such as RoundUp can be used to spot treat actively growing weeds. For more products that can be applied as an over spray or those resistant pigweed varieties, we recommend contacting your local Master Gardener for additional recommendations. Please let us know if they suggest a product that you cannot locate on our website and we will make an effort to locate the product for you.

  • Asked by Sherry from Mcminnville, Oregon
    01/28/2018
    Q
    Does Crossbow Herbicide kill bamboo?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled for bamboo, however we have heard if you cut down the bamboo level with the ground and apply Crossbow or a similar Triclopyr based product undiluted to the fresh cut it can help kill it out. Bamboo is extremely stubborn, so it can take several steps to remove it completely. You can use Round Up QuickPro at the highest listed usage rate to help eliminate bamboo. You will be required to cut the bamboo down to a short stump and then apply the Round Up QuickPro. It can take several applications to achieve the desired results.

    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide kill sandspurs in bermuda and centipede lawn?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled to control sandspur aka sandburs nor for use in home lawns.  This is a summer weed that is actually easier to prevent then to kill once emerged.  We would recommend applying a pre-emergent like Dimension 2-4 weeks ahead of when it germinates.  You can check with your County Extension Offices for the correct timing.
