    Q
    Can spray Gordons Trimec Classic Broadleaf Herbicide all over my yard and not kill the grass? Also, can I mix together Surflan & Trimec?
    A

    You could potentially apply Suflan Pro Herbicide with  Gordons Trimec Classic Broadleaf Herbicide  herbicide as long as neither label prohibits such use and both can be used in the same areas. However, you want to be sure that you are applying your products at the optimal time for the weeds you are targeting. Pre-emergents must be applied before weeds germinate, which is usually when soil temperatures are between 50-55 degrees. Post-emergent herbicides will be most effective when target weeds are young and actively growing; for most herbicides this is in the range of 60-85 degrees. Be sure to calibrate products properly, and if you are mixing two products that have not previously been verified to work together, it is best to do a small jar test for compatability first.  Gordons Trimec Classic Broadleaf Herbicide is labeled safe in many cool and warm season turfgrasses, please check the label to ensure your specific grass type is tolerant before application.

    I have a variety of different grasses that were put in prior my getting the home. One is a wide blade grass that grows in clusters. It is scattered through-out the lawn. Can this be removed by the herbicide???? Would consider using in three homes.

    This product will not kill any type of grassy weed as it is only for broadleaf weeds.

    Q
    How do I correct an overspray of Gordons Trimec Classic Broadleaf Herbicide when the lawn is yellow?
    A

    The only way to reduce the effects of an herbicide such as Gordons Trimec Classic Broadleaf Herbicide would be to use an activated charcoal pretty much immediately after spraying (within hours). If you have sprayed intolerant grass/plants with an herbicide by mistake, you will mostly have to wait and see what happens since result will vary depending on the rate used and overall health of the desirable plants.

  • Asked by Steve from River Falls, Wi
    09/27/2019
    Q
    Can I mix and apply Gordons Trimec Classic Broadleaf Herbicide with a liquid fertilizer?
    A

    Gordons Trimec Classic Broadleaf Herbicide should be fine to tank mix with a liquid fertilizer as long as both products are applied as directed on the labels for rates.  

    However, when preparing a new tank mix conduct an appropriate compatibility test by mixing proportional amounts of all spray ingredients in a test vessel (jar) prior to tank mixing with other products. Shake mixture vigorously and allow it to stand for five to ten minutes. Rapid precipitations of the ingredients and failure to re-suspend when shaken indicates that the mixture is incompatible and shoudl not be applied. 

    If you preform a compatibility test and have no issues then you can mix a liquid fertilizer with it.
