    Q
    Can I "paint" Crossbow onto blackberry canes? What dilution?
    My daughter and her husband just bought a house. The previous owner pulled or cut down then mulched over blackberries which are now sprouting up everywhere. This is in the city and the neighbors (and their gardens) are close by. I don't want to risk drifting onto their garden. Can I paint Crossbow directly onto the emerging canes? What dilution would I use?
    A

    Crossbow is labeled to be used on Blackberry at 1.5 gallon mixed solution per acre. For specific treatment procedures: Use a boom type or other broadcast spray equipment that provides uniform spray coverage over the top of the foliage and make applications when plants are growing well. The favorable period for treatment is most likely to occur after full leaf in the spring and continue into early summer, depending on soil moisture and other conditions. 

    Follow up treatment with foliar high-volume or basal type treatments may be needed, especially if treating under less favorable conditions.

  • Asked by Sanda
    04/14/2018
    Q
    What ratio formula of Crossbow should I use to kill grass and weeds on the driveway?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is primarily designed to control weeds and woody brush type plants and vines from unwanted areas but is designed to not harm most grasses. There are some grasses it will control listed on the label but its primary focus is to not harm grasses. You may want to look at using something like Roundup QuikPro for the weed in your driveway or possibly a soil sterilizer like Pramitol provided careful application is used to ensure no damage to surrounding desirable plants like trees, flowers, and the lawn.

    Q
    How much Crossbow should I use per gallon to prevent a maple stump from growing new shoots?
    We cut down a maple tree a couple of years ago and it is growing shoots like crazy. How do we apply, and what is the mix ratio, to prevent more growth from the maple stump?
    A

    Per the Crossbow product label: To prevent or control regrowth from cut stumps, mix 4 gallons of Crossbow in diesel oil, No 1 or No 2 fuel oil, or kerosent to make 100 gallons of spray mixture.  This breaks down to about 5.12 oz of Crossbow per gallon.

  • Asked by Shelley from Portland

    Q
    Can Crossbow hurt an oak tree if exposed?
    I've got vines growing on my Oak Tree that I want to kill but I don't want to harm my tree. If I spray the vines at the base of the tree getting some Crossbow on the tree trunk but not the tree foliage, will my tree be ok?
    A

    Crossbow is a vegetation management product which means it is not very selective, it will kill almost anything.  Although it should 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 it on the foliage.

  • Asked by William from Morgantown Ky.

    Q
    How and when to apply Crossbow Herbicide to kill bamboo?
    one little sprout is taking over a field. Help???
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled for bamboo and likely would not give you any desired results. Bamboo is extremely stubborn, so it can take several steps to remove it completely. You can use Round Up QuickPro at the highest listed usage rate to help eliminate bamboo. You will be required to cut the bamboo down to a short stump and then apply the Round Up QuickPro. It can take several applications to achieve the desired results. You should contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the master gardener on staff to see if you will be required to till your yard or if you can seed and fertilize only.
