    Q
    Once the flowers die back, can I spray Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone to that area with no damage to crocuses?
    A

    We apologize but we are unsure if an application of Fertilome Weed Free Zone, or any herbicide application, would be safe. Any type of flower would be susceptible to the herbicide being absorbed and harming it along with any weeds you sprayed. If there is no crocus leaf tissue showing or growing above ground to come into direct contact with the chemical, its possible they would be fine, we just could not say for sure.

  • Asked by Neil from Prairieville, La
    02/09/2021
    Q
    What is a surfactant and should I use one when applying Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone?
    A

    A surfactant increases the absorption, translocation and sticking of insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and liquid fertilizers on plants. Many weeds have a waxy cuticle on the leaves/foliage/stem surfaces that will affect the herbicide application from aborbing thoroughly, the surfactant works as a “sticking agent” to prevent that. 

    Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone does not mention the use of a surfactant on the product label so we would not recommend to use one.  Not all herbicides require a surfactant as they can already contain a slight amount or adding one could reduce selectivity on turf and injure your grass.

    Q
    Will Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone still be effective if I mowed on Saturday and sprayed it the next day?
    Will this product still be somewhat affective and is it harmful to toddler playing on grass. My dog likes eating grass, will it harm my pet?
    A

    Fertilome Weed Free Zone is effective on a variety of broadleaf weeds. We recommend reviewing the product label to ensure it will kill the weeds you are dealing with. In order for the product to be safe, we recommend keeping children and pets out of the area while making an application and let it all completely dry before letting them back outside to play. Once dry it is safe, but like humans, pets can react/become sensitive to different things, we recommend keeping an eye on your pet and consulting your vet if needed. You can reapply Weed Free Zone after 30 days if needed for additional weed control. Going forward, do not mow within 2 days of your herbicide application for best results and the best safety on your turfgrass.

    Q
    Will my lawn be okay if I over mixed the Fertilome Weed Free Zone?
    Realized my sprayer was set to 6oz/gallon on centipede lawn. The lawn is currently dormant but full of green growing weeds. Will the lawn be ok?
    A

    Unfortunately, there is not a way to know if the grass is going to be okay other than time to see if the until it is grows again after over applying Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone. The only way to reverse an herbicide is with activated charcoal within hours of application.

    Q
    Will Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone kill grass and flowers?
    Creeping charlie in flower beds
    A

    The label for Ferti-Lome Weed Free Zone states not to allow spray drift onto vegetables, flowers, ornamental plants, shrubs, trees and other desirable plants since injury may result.   It is only meant to be used on turfgrass areas.  For broadleaf weed control in flower beds it is best to hand pull from this area or very carefully spot treat with a non selective herbicide avoiding any contact with desirables.
