  • Asked by Bruce from Enterprise Alabama
    07/07/2015
    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide kill overgrown cutover?
    I have some land that was cutover. Will Crossbow kill most everything but grass? This land is scattered with pine, hardwood trees, brush, briers, private, holleys and all types of weeds. It is a typical south Alabama cutover I am trying to turn into pasture. I do not desire to kill the bahia grass or all the trees but need to thin it out so to speak, make it more manageable.
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is known to be a great product to kill brush and other unwanted woody plants. You should not spray if it is windy, and be careful that over spray does not get on the desirable trees. Crossbow Herbicide is not supposed to harm established grasses and should pose no threat on your Bahia grass, according to the manufacturer. This being said, we always recommend treating a small area first to test the results.  As long as your grass is not stressed by drought and it is healthy the grass will not be harmed. Before using Crossbow Herbicide we suggest going over the product label.

    Q
    My husband sprayed trumpet vines 3 -4 ft from grapes with Crossbow, how can I stop it from getting yellow and wilting?
    I noticed the yellow leaves are more under and not on top of the grape vines
    A

    As long as Crossbow is not applied directly to the grapes or the drift did not contact the grapes that would not be the cause of the yellow and wilting leaves.  It would be best to further examine the grape vines to confirm if a disease or other issue could be the cause.

    07/12/2015
    Q
    Is Crossbow effective applied directly to root system of unwanted brush/trees?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide will typically have an effect on brush and trees when applied to the root system. However, some applications require root applications while others only need a foliar application. It is very important that you read the Crossbow Herbicide product label and follow it exactly.

    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide work to get rid of Glory Bower (Clerodendrum trichotomum)?
    We have glory bower that is sending out shoots everywhere and trying to get rid of it entirely. Will crossbow work or is there a better product?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide should kill Glory Bower as it is a woody plant. We cannot gurantee it however because it has not been tested for it. It may be best to spot treat the Shoots with Round up.

  • Asked by Sue from Germantown, Wi
    10/04/2015
    Q
    Can I use Crossbow this fall without killing the grass to eliminate teasel? How often do I need to spray this area?
    A farmer plowed one of my areas but then did not plant it. Before it had tall natural grass growing, but now the area is a mess with lots of teasel and queen anns lace. There is some form of grass growing there too, but in the minority. The field has been mowed the last 2 years with a woods mower, but has not eradicated the teasel at all;in fact its spreading.
    A

    Crossbow is a non-selective post-emergent herbicide that can kill anything that is sprayed directly including desired turf grasses. We recommend that you treat the teasel by applying a product that will offer post-emergent control but not harm the lawn. We have AmTide MSM 60 DF which is safe for listed turfs and will eradicate the teasel. Please follow instructions on the product label for your application.

  • Asked by Chris from Lebanon, Indiana
    10/09/2015
    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide control horsetail?
    You state that Crossbow is labeled for horsetails. Then in parenthesis you list horseweed and marestail. Horseweed and marestail are completely different species than horsetail(rush). I do not read in your label for Crossbow anything about controlling horsetail (rush). I have heard from other sources that it is somewhat effective in control. Does Crossbow control Horsetail, scouring rush? And if so, can it be added to the label?
    A

    We do not see any listings on our website or the product label of Crossbow Herbicide that say it controls horsetails. The Crossbow Herbicide label does list annual maristail horseweed as a target weed species, however it does not list horsetail. Please be aware that we are not a manufacturer; we are a distributor and have no control over what information is on a product label. (Labels are developed by the manufacturers and must be approved by the EPA.) You may contact Dow AgroSciences at 800-992-5994 for additional assistance. 

    We do sell products that are labeled for horsetail specifically, the most popular is Sedgehammer Herbicide. Please review the product label to be sure it is suitable for your needs.

    Q
    If I spray my entire yard that has dollar weed with Crossbow Herbicide, will it kill my St. Augustine grass?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is labeled to be used on Rangeland, Grass Pastures, Fence rows, roadsides and non-crop areas. It is not labeled to be used on St. Augustine grass. It will likely kill it. You can use Speedzone Southern for Dollarweed in St. Augustine grass.

Do not apply Speedzone Southern to Floratam, Bitterblue or other improved species of St Augustine. Do not broadcast or spot spray St Augustine during the fall to winter transition or if temperatures are expected to fall below 40F within 10 days of the application.

    At this time, should I wait for new growth to start or can I apply Crossbow at anytime of the year for blackberry bushes and vines? What part of the plant should I apply the Crossbow spray to?

  • Asked by Richard from Orlando, Fl
    02/19/2016
    Q
    Can I kill bamboo with Crossbow Herbicide?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled for bamboo and likely would not give you any desired results. 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. You should contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the master gardener on staff to see if you will be required to till your yard or if you can seed and fertilize only.
