How Long Should Drexel MSMA 6 Plus Stay Dry Before Rain?

    goes after grassy weeds

    By Mark on 07/31/2020

    Worked well on sand spur, johnson grass and crab grass. Mixed one ounce to one gallon of water and in hot north Texas caused discoloration of my Bermuda but it came back in about 2 weeks. I wouldn't apply in temps over 90 for lawns

    MSMA WORKS

    By James on 07/24/2020

    I mixed as the directions said. 2oz per gallon per 1000 square feet. The liquid performed exactly as expected. Weeds are brown and grass is a little yellowed temporarily. Maybe just a lighter shade if green. Works perfect for me.

    My MSMA Experience

    By Clyde on 01/24/2020

    I first starting using Drexel MSMA in the 70's at my parents home. I always wanted them to have the best looking lawn in the neighborhood. No really knowing about measuring, I sprayed the whole lawn with this stuff and it turned the yard brown. the temps were in the mid 80's. It stayed in the grass for about two weeks before I started watering it. This stuff really works.

Q
I want to spray MSMA but the night time temps are low like 52 deg, but during the day the temps are 75.

Should I mix it little hot 2 oz per gallon of Water to offset cool night temps? Instead of 1.5 oz per gallon

A

Drexel MSMA 6 Plus states on the product label: "Best results are obtained on young, actively growing weeds at air temperatures above 70°F." We would recommend applying it during the day when the temperatures are a little warmer. The product will have time to dry before the temperature falls too low. Do not apply during extreme temperatures. We would not recommend over applying the product by mixing it heavier. Please be sure to follow the instructions on the product label to make your application.
