Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled to control poison hemlock so we cannot recommend it for this use. Hi-Yield Range and Pasture 2,4-D Amine is labeled for it and for pastures, but horses should be removed for 7 days after application per the label. Hi-Yield Range and Pasture Dicamba + D is also labeled for it and does not have restrictions for horses grazing in the area. Please refer to each product label to confirm which would fit your needs more for the grass type you have in the pasture
The Crossbow Herbicide product label states it is not for use on home/residential lawns so would not be recommended on new lawns.
Yes, that is a possibility since Crossbow Herbicide is a post emergent herbicide. It does not offer pre emergent properties that would target germinating weeds or seeds. For a pre emergent for dandelions you could use something like Prodiamine 65 WDG.
Crossbow is not labeled to control moss. We would recommend a product that is specifically labeled for moss, such as Lilly Miller Moss Out For Lawns.
Becuase the roots can spread out 50-80ft from the tree, it is advised to cut the stump as low to the ground as possible. Black Walnuts are know for resprouting, using a product with the active ingredient Glyphosate is going to be your best option. Using Roundup QuickPRO which has Diquat as 1 of the 2 ingredients works for a faster knockdown and aborbs throughout the root system better. Below is a step by step guide on how to ensure the saplings won't regerminate.
Step 1 - Space cuts around the trunk of a mature tree, using a hatchet. These cuts should go down at an angle, exposing some inner flesh of the trunk. Alternatively, cut a straight line around the trunk, removing the bark along the line. For saplings, there's no need to remove bark because the young bark is thin.
Crossbow Herbicide could harm very young grass and states on the product label not to use on newly seeded grasses until grass has established a good root system and is tillering.
You can use either a hand pump sprayer or a hose-end sprayer with Crossbow Herbicide. If you are using a hose-end sprayer, be sure that you have calibrated the sprayer so that you are using the correct amount of herbicide over the area that you are treating. Refer to page 4 on the product label for a list of rates for many target weeds.
Use up to 1-1/2 gallons of Crossbow Herbicide per acre in enough water to deliver 10 to 30 gallons of total spray per acre for milkweed. The best time for treatment of biennial and winter annual weeds is when the plants are in the rosette stage and actively growing. A re-treatment of hard-to-control weeds such as field bindweed, chicory, dogfennel, goldenrod, horsenettle, kudzu, milkweed, perennial sowthistle, leafy spurge, and Canada thistle may be necessary. After using Crossbow Herbicide, animals should be kept off the area until it has dried. Your animals should not be allowed to graze in the area that was treated.
While Crossbow is labeled to to treat woody plants and vegetation, privet hedge is not specifically listed on the product label as a controlled weed. We would recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to confirm whether using Crossbow Herbicide would be appropriate for this treatment, or for product recommendations that have been proven to be successful for others in your area.
Crossbow Herbicide will not affect the bees in the treated area. It is recommended that you spray when they are not actively foraging as to not cause harm to yourself.
It can take 2 plus weeks after Crossbow Herbicide application to see that plants are dying. You may reapply if needed 30 days after initial application.
Crossbow Herbicide is the most popular choice for trumpet vine or trumpet creeper suppression. It is very difficult to completely control this plant with a single herbicide application. Per the product label, use a 1.5% mixture as a conventional basal or dormant stem application.
Depending on the types of plants being targeted in the pasture (broadleaf weeds vs more woody brush type plants) the Crossbow Herbicide Product Label states you can use between 1-4 gallons of Crossbow Herbicide per 100 gallons of water. For more mature plants, hedges, and woody brush we would suggest higher application rates for best control.
Yes, Crossbow Herbicide is still being absorbed in the plant throughout that time period. We do normally recommend that you prune the plant before you apply Crossbow. It is recommended that you wait at least 30 days before pruning the plants once Crossbow has been applied. You can still cut the plant down after application.
You will need to wait at least 3 weeks before replanting in areas where Crossbow Herbicide has been applied. This would apply to any plants in pasture or range areas. For any edibles for human consumption, you would need to wait at least 1 year before planting.
Unfortunately, we are not aware of a natural or organic herbicide that would be comparable to Crossbow Herbicide. We do sell Avenger Weed Killer Concentrate, an organic herbicide that is non-selective.
Like with most liquid concentrates, we recommend that you only mix when you are ready to spray. Crossbow should be used within 24 hours of mixing. You should then rinse your equipment throuoghly. This will also prevent any damage in the long run to your sprayer. The storage shelf life of Crossbow Herbicide is 3-5 years if stored in a area that does not allow the product to freeze or reach over 80 degrees
Crossbow Herbicide is labeled to treat for Creeping Charlie (ground ivy). You should use a 1.0 to 1.5% dilution for ground ivy.
Cut the blackberries at one inch from the ground and spot treat with Crossbow Herbicide at 2 oz per gallon of water.
