Pigweed can be difficult to treat around edible crops. Products that contain glyphosate such as RoundUp can be used to spot treat actively growing weeds. For more products that can be applied as an over spray or those resistant pigweed varieties, we recommend contacting your local Master Gardener for additional recommendations. Please let us know if they suggest a product that you cannot locate on our website and we will make an effort to locate the product for you.
We apologize, but we are not aware of any studies that have been done to determine what the effects of Crossbow might be on a wild turkey population. You may wish to contact a wildlife specialist in your area for more information, or possibly contact the manufacturer directly. You can reach Helena Chemical at 901-761-0050.

Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled for bamboo, but we have heard if you cut down the bamboo level with the ground and apply Crossbow or a similar Triclopyr-based product undiluted to the fresh cut, it can help kill it out. 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.
Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled to control cotoneaster so should not kill it. We would recommend testing a small area if using to be sure.
