    Q
    Will spraying Crossbow near Soy Beans kill the growing bean plant?
    A
    If Crossbow gets on the soybeans or within the drip line of the soy bean plants it could potentially casue damage or death to the plant. It is important to make sure there is no wind to insure the product does not drift on to the soy beans and also to make sure you are not over spraying and allowing run off to flow on to the plants.

    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide harm children if they come upon a field where it is being sprayed?
    A

    No, Crossbow Herbicide is a very safe product as long as it's used as directed on the product label. You want to make sure children are not present at the time of application or until the treated area has had time to dry completely. After the treated area is dry children can safely resume normal activity.

    Q
    The neighbor sprayed Crossbow diluted in their yard and half our birch is yellow and leaves limp, what to do?
    The tree is near the back fence and they sprayed a large area (per the labels instructions they say) 2 foot high x 15 ft weeded overgrowth and I fear it was absorbed by the root base. We gave it a good bath and washed down the root base soil area for a while. Help!!! We love our only 30 ft river birch tree!
    A
    Crossbow 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.  If the tree itself was not sprayed directly there could be another cause for the issue.  It would be best to speak with a local arborist or horticulturalist who is more familiar with any tree issues in your area.

    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide kill established centipede grass?
    A

    Crossbow is not supposed to harm established grasses, according to the manufacturer.  This being said, we always recommend treating a small area first to test the results especially with a sensitve grass species like centipede.  As long as your grass is not stressed by drought and it is healthy the grass should not be harmed.

    Q
    Will Crossbow contaminate soil and poison vegetables? How long should I wait to plant a garden?
    I am concerned about the spread as well. I dug up as much of a spreading tree as possible but I need to kill the roots. If I spray directly onto roots and around soil, How long must I wait to plant vegetables?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide will stay in the soil and could veggies for up to 2 years. It's possible you could use Tordon. We recommend to contact Dow 800-992-5994 option 4 the manufacturer of both products for the best one to suit your treatment.

    Q
    If dandelions seed out after spraying Crossbow, will the seeds be viable and continue to spread?
    A

    Yes, that is a possibility since Crossbow Herbicide is a post emergent herbicide.  It does not offer pre emergent properties that would target germinating weeds or seeds.  For a pre emergent for dandelions you could use something like Prodiamine 65 WDG.

    Q
    Will Crossbow kill hemlock?
    Overrun with Poison Hemlock! And is it best to apply to foliage or cut them down and then apply? Pasture with horses actively grazing. Thank you.
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled to control poison hemlock so we cannot recommend it for this use. Hi-Yield Range and Pasture 2,4-D Amine is labeled for it and for pastures, but horses should be removed for 7 days after application per the label.  Hi-Yield Range and Pasture Dicamba + D is also labeled for it and does not have restrictions for horses grazing in the area.  Please refer to each product label to confirm which would fit your needs more for the grass type you have in the pasture

  • Asked by James from Greenup Ky
    05/21/2018
    Q
    Can I spray Crossbow Herbicide in pastures to kill out milkweed?
    A

    Use up to 1-1/2 gallons of Crossbow Herbicide per acre in enough water to deliver 10 to 30 gallons of total spray per acre for milkweed. The best time for treatment of biennial and winter annual weeds is when the plants are in the rosette stage and actively growing. A re-treatment of hard-to-control weeds such as field bindweed, chicory, dogfennel, goldenrod, horsenettle, kudzu, milkweed, perennial sowthistle, leafy spurge, and Canada thistle may be necessary. After using Crossbow Herbicide, animals should be kept off the area until it has dried. Your animals should not be allowed to graze in the area that was treated.

    Q
    Will Crossbow kill black walnut tree saplings?
    I would like to cut the saplings down and paint the stump to prevent the black walnuts stump from re-sprouting. Will Crossbow prevent any new growth to eventually kill the tree? Trees are approximately 2-4 inches in diameter.
    A

    Becuase the roots can spread out 50-80ft from the tree, it is advised to cut the stump as low to the ground as possible. Black Walnuts are know for resprouting, using a product with the active ingredient Glyphosate is going to be your best option. Using Roundup QuickPRO which has Diquat as 1 of the 2 ingredients works for a faster knockdown and aborbs throughout the root system better. Below is a step by step guide on how to ensure the saplings won't regerminate.

    Step 1 - Space cuts around the trunk of a mature tree, using a hatchet. These cuts should go down at an angle, exposing some inner flesh of the trunk. Alternatively, cut a straight line around the trunk, removing the bark along the line. For saplings, there's no need to remove bark because the young bark is thin.

    Step 2 - Spray Roudup QuickPRO mixed according to manufacturer's directions, into the cuts in the trunk. Saturate the cuts completely. For saplings less than 6 inches in diameter, spray the herbicide directly on the trunk up to 18 inches high.
    Step 3-Allow the herbicide to move through the tree to the roots for 48 hours. Observe the black walnut's leaves for signs of curl or wilt. If none exists, make new cuts in the trunk and reapply the herbicide.
    Step 4 - (IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY REMOVED THE TREE) - Remove the tree by cutting through the trunk about 6 to 12 inches above ground with a chainsaw. You may be able to remove it with an axe if the tree is smaller than 6 inches in diameter. For larger trees, you may need a chainsaw. Choose a safe direction for the tree to fall, and then make the first cut on that side of the tree. Create an undercut or V-shaped cut several inches into the tree, going no farther than one-third of the diameter inward. Go to the opposite side to make a back cut, which is a straight cut that is about the same height as the point of the undercut. As you get close to the undercut with the back cut, the weight of the tree should topple it toward the undercut.
    Step 5 -Spray the top of the freshly cut stump with Roundup QuickPRO, coating it liberally. Repeat every two days for a week or until the stump flesh turns gray. Black walnut trees can send up new suckers from the base of the trunk if the roots aren't killed.
