    Q
    Will Crossbow kill moss in yard or on asphalt?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide will not control moss on any surface.  For moss in the yard you could use Lilly Miller Moss Out for Lawns.  For the asphalt you would use Lilly Miller Moss Out Heavy Duty Cleaner.  Unfortunately there is not one product that could control moss in both areas.

  • Asked by Joe from Normal Ill
    03/17/2018
    Q
    Does crossbow kill hedge tree saplings less than 10 ft tall.?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is a vegetation management product which means it is not very selective, it will kill almost anything.  Although it will not harm a tree when used at recommended levels if it gets on the base of the tree, it will harm a tree if you spray Crossbow on the foliage. The required spray volume will increase substantially if the brush exceeds 5 feet in height. Brush over 8 feet tall is difficult to treat efficiently. Large brush or trees may be controlled better by basal or mechanical methods.

  • 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
    Which product do you recommend for weed control in the fall for a horse pasture?

    Crossbow is a non-selective post-emergent herbicide that targets woody plants and brush.

    A particularly nasty thistle (have not been able to identify it) has come up in one of my fields and has become a danger to my livestock. I have tried various other products with no success. I can send a picture of it if it would help. Thanks.

    Q
    What can I plant after spraying Crossbow Herbicide?
    In May, I sprayed a planned no-till food plot (for deer) with crossbow, thinking I was using plain 2,4 d. I would like to plant something there in September. It looks like grasses are OK. How about wheat/oats? Brassicas? Also, what can I plant next year? Thanks for your help.
    A

    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.

  • Asked by S from Clinton, Tn
    04/22/2017
    Q
    How soon after Crossbow Herbicide application can we pull up weeds from a garden?
    Herb and vegetable gardens were sprayed to kill clover and other weeds. How soon can we pull up weeds? I read that we should wait 3 weeks before planting grass - does that apply to planting herbs, vegs, and flowers?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled to be used around anything edible like vegetables.  It is also a vegetation management product, which means that it is not very selective, so it will kill almost anything that it is sprayed on, including the edible plants.  You will need to wait at least 3 weeks before replanting in areas areas where Crossbow Herbicide has been applied.  You will need to wait at least 1 year after application to plant any edibles intended for human consumption.  We would not recommended consuming anything from the current plants in the garden and disposing of anything contaminated by spraying.

  • Asked by Bob from Yamhill, Or
    03/24/2019
    Q
    Will spraying Crossbow Herbicide onto the leaves of holly plants (and small holly bushes) adequately kill them?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide could possibly harm holly but it is not labeled for this plant so we cannot recommend it for controlling/killing it.  Holly shrubs would need to be treated like trees, in which case you would cut the shrubs down to stumps and then treat the fresh cuts. Crossbow Herbicide is labeled for the control of most kinds of unwanted trees. On page 5 of the label you can find directions on how to use for conventional basal bark and stump applications.

    06/05/2017
    Q
    Will Crossbow kill my Fir/ Cedar trees if I spray the back berries and poison ivy growing under them?
    A

    Very small quantities of spray, which may not be visible, may seriously injure susceptible plants; however, Fir and Cedar trees are not listed on the label as either tolerant or suseptible. We recommend to avoid overspray or spray drift to ensure the trees are not affected. 

     Please review the Avoid Injurious Spray Drift section on the Crossbow Herbicide prodcut label.
