I am trying to find out the best and most reasonably priced way to get rid of nimblewill that has started popping up. I know st Augustine is very sensitive and I have already bought blideside to control most of my broad weeds, but it doesn't seem to work on nimblewill. I know tenacity will work but again its on the more expensive side. I was seeing if there was another option you could recommend. I live in Charlotte NC.
Tenacity is labeled for post-emergent control of Nimblewill. Per the product label, you may need a second application after 2 to 3 weeks. Apply to young, actively growing weeds, and be sure to use a surfactant such as Southern Ag Non-Ionic surfactant for post-emergent applications. Your other option would be to use a non-selective herbicide such as Roundup to spot treat the Nimblewill to kill it directly, and then replant St. Augustine in those areas.
