  • Asked by James from Greenup Ky

    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 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

    Q
    What is the best time of year to spray Crossbow on blackberries?
    A

    It is recommended that you apply Crossbow Herbicide when the blackberries are actively growing. This is most likely to occur for a period after full leaf in the spring to early summer when moisture and temperature are favorable.

  • Asked by Jackie from Elkins, Wv
    08/18/2014
    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.

    Q
    What is the wait time after Crossbow Herbicide app to see that plants are dead and how long before respraying?
    I sprayed a combination of Crossbow and Roundup Pro on a house site that was covered with oak trees, wax myrtle and yaupon holly which ranged in height from 5 inches to 24 inches. How long before I should know if they were killed. How long before I can respray?
    A

    It can take 2 plus weeks after Crossbow Herbicide application to see that plants are dying. You may reapply if needed 30 days after initial application.

  • Asked by Rebecca from Asheville, N.c. 28805
    06/22/2015
    Q
    Could I use a brush to put crossbow on leaf so as not to touch neighboring plants. does it go to root ?
    A
    Crossbow Herbicide is intended to be used with a pressurized sprayer and can be brushed on for stump treatments. If you are only going to be using this for a few plants, it may be better served for you to hand weed the area versus using a non-selective herbicide. It will get to the roots of your plants.

    Q
    What is the mixing ratio to kill privet hedge using Crossbow Herbicide?
    A

    While Crossbow is labeled to to treat woody plants and vegetation, privet hedge is not specifically listed on the product label as a controlled weed. We would recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to confirm whether using Crossbow Herbicide would be appropriate for this treatment, or for product recommendations that have been proven to be successful for others in your area.

  • Asked by Greg from Bellevue, Wa

    Q
    When can I cut down blackberry vines after applying Crossbow Herbicide?
    I just applied Crossbow to blackberries in the Spring. However, they are growing fast (in my lawn), and I wanted to cut them down so I can mow my lawn. I have seen that it takes 7-14 days for Crossbow to work on blackberries, but I am specifically wondering if it is still entering through the foliage over this entire time period. In other words, I don't want to cut off the foliage while it is feeding poison to the plant. But at the same time, I need to contain the spread, so that I may now the lawn. I saw a response to a similar question that suggested pruning prior to applying Crossbow. I've already applied Crossbow and would like to know when I can cut without rendering Crossbow ineffective. Thanks!
    A

    Yes, Crossbow Herbicide is still being absorbed in the plant throughout that time period. We do normally recommend that you prune the plant before you apply Crossbow. It is recommended that you wait at least 30 days before pruning the plants once Crossbow has been applied. You can still cut the plant down after application.

    Q
    How do I clean up a Crossbow Herbicide spill?
    A bottle of Crossbow Herbicide ended up getting tipped over and slowly leaked out on a wood shelf and concrete floor, what would be the safest way to clean the spill and clear the fumes from the area?I have used a absorbent powder to soak up the spill however there is still residue on the wood and concrete floor and the fumes are very strong.

    We recommend that you ventilate the area and use a non-combustible absorbent, such as sand or Zorball. Scoop or shovel into suitable chemical waste containers for proper disposal. Do not use water for cleanup.

    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide kill trumpet vine?
    And how long after can you plant certain hardier flowers or bushes Thanks
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is the most popular choice for trumpet vine or trumpet creeper suppression. It is very difficult to completely control this plant with a single herbicide application. Per the product label, use a 1.5% mixture as a conventional basal or dormant stem application.

    Q
    How much crossbow per 100 gallons water for pasture land?
    A

    Depending on the types of plants being targeted in the pasture (broadleaf weeds vs more woody brush type plants) the Crossbow Herbicide Product Label states you can use between 1-4 gallons of Crossbow Herbicide per 100 gallons of water. For more mature plants, hedges, and woody brush we would suggest higher application rates for best control.
