    Q
    Will Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer kill Johnson Grass?
    I was recommended this, yet the label does not indicate that it will. The soil is sandy, there are millions of seeds on the ground from neglect over a couple of years. The area is located just southeast of San Antonio. I have a serious back problem, yet what I have been doing is digging up the plants and any roots and burning them. However, 3/4 of an acre is a large area to dig up. I can't afford to hire a guy to do this as I am on disability, and I have no one who will help me in this endeavor. What is the proper chemical to use, that does not cost an arm and a leg? Thanks for any help you can give this gal with a back problem.
    A

    Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer will target broadleaf weeds such as dandelion, plantain, and chickweed, and is made to be used safely in many types of turfgrass, so it will not be effective for eradicating Johnsongrass. We are not sure if you need to kill the Johsongrass in a turf area or around ornamentals, so it is hard for us to make a recommendation. You can use a grass killer such as Grass Out Max to kill Johnsongrass around listed ornamental shrubs and trees, but it is not safe to use in your turfgrass. Otherwise, you may need to just spot treat with a non-selective herbicide such as RoundUp QuikPro, and then re-seed the turf. There are also pre-emergent herbicides for Johsongrass, but we would need to know the type of turf you have to make this recommendation. Surflan AS is a popular choice for listed warm-season turf. You may also contact our Customer Service department at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST for further assistance.

    Q
    What is the amount of Hi Yield 2,4-D Selective Weed Killer do you put in a hose end sprayer?
    A

    Unfortunately, we do not recommend applying the Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer with a hose end sprayer because of the mixing rates needed for proper mixing. The mixing ratios will vary according to where you are treating and what you are treating for. According to the Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer product label: For Spot treatment in non-crop areas: Use 1 pint in 3 gallons of water or 4 oz. in 3/4 gallon in a hand sprayer. In pastures and range land: Use 3 to 4 oz. in 1 to 3 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. On Ornamental Turf: Use 16 oz. in 1 to 8 gallons of water per 2,725 sq. ft. or 2 gallons in 15 to 50 gallons per acre. Please review the product label for complete usage instructions.

    When using Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer for chickweed you would mix it at 3 - 4 oz in 1 to 3 gallons of water per 1000 sq. ft. The manufacturer advises to wait a minimum of 30 days after application before allowing animals to graze on the treated area. It they are non-grazing, they would need to be out of the area while spraying and until the product dries completely.

    Q
    Do I need to postpone an application of Hi-Yield 2, 4-D due to wind?
    How long can I keep my Hi-Yield 2,4-d & water mixture in sprayer? Wind picked up after I had already mixed to spay, will the mixture still be usable after sitting in my 4 gal sprayer for a day?
