    Want to kill wild violets. What is the optimum temp for best results? do plants need to be actively growing? Zone 6 b
    A
    Spurge Power is a post emergent to be applied to actively growing weeds like Wild Violet. You would want to apply when soil temps reach 55 degrees and not over 85 degrees. Please wait 4 or more weeks after application to replant.

  • Asked by Tom from Phx, Az

    Q
    I live in Phx
    under 85'. Is that the case with Spurge Power? Thank you
    A
    You would want to apply Spurge Power when soil temps are not over 85 degrees.  This is because plants that are heat stressed will not absorb the product as readily so it would not work very well.  If you can apply it later in the day when temps could be closer to the recommended temp you could do so.

  • Asked by Michael from Copperas Cove, Tx
    07/25/2017
    Q
    What is the solution to eradicate an infestation of Fluminensis/ Wandering Jew?
    I have applied a super strong solution of glyphosate weed killer numerous times with no success. Exposed vegetation dies off but quickly regrows. Please advise on a solution.
    A

    Glyphosate alone does not always control wandering Jew/Spiderwort/tradescantia because it can reroot easily if any plant fragments are left in the area. We would recommend a product that contains triclopyr such as Monterey Spurge Power for more complete kill on this plant. Cultural practices such as removing all plant litter and bringing native plants into the area to better compete will also help to eradicate this plant.

  • Asked by Mona from Cedar Hill Tn

    Q
    Can Monterey Spurge Power be sprayed in beds around shrubs and bulbs?
    Violets were introduced into my beds with hosta cuttings from a family member and are taking over. Will the spurge hurt the other plants in the bed and if so what do you recommend?
    A

    For broadleaf weeds around shrubs and bulbs, you will want to spot treat with a non-selective herbicide like Roundup Quick Pro. Many herbicides that are labelled to kill broadleaf weeds will also kill desireables.

  • Asked by Chuck from Madison, Al

    Q
    Will a strong application of Monterey Spurge Power to burn my grass?
    I made my application too strong and I have burn spots in my lawn. Have I killed the grass in those spots or will it come back?
    A

    Yes, if you sprayed Monterey Spurge Power too strong more than likely it has killed the grass in the spots that you're seeing.  You can water the area if the application wasn't done too long ago, especially the burned spots and see if that helps any grass to regrow or wait 3 to 4 weeks after the application was made and reseed.

  • Asked by Gordon from Mesa, Az
    10/23/2015
    Q
    Can you use Monterey Spurge Power as a broad spray or must it be spot applied to plants?
    Is late October a good time to apply? What pre emergent do you recommend?
    A

    Monterey Spurge Power can be applied as a broadcast as long as your turf is tolerant to it. October would be a good time to apply, as long as the weeds are actively growing and temps are above 55 degrees. Pre-emergent application depends on what type of turf you have and what you are aiming to treat. Please visit our Lawn Care Guide for more information.

    Q
    I have spurge in Tiff bermuda, Will Spurge Power hurt the grass?
    A
    Spurge Power is designed to be used in warm and cool season grasses including Bermuda. When treating warm season lawn that is completely dormant, the higher rates may be used. When treating warm season lawn that is actively growing, use a lower rate. Avoid applications to warm season lawn during transition from dormancy to green-up or green-up to dormancy. Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Philip from Portsmouth, Va
    10/08/2015
    Q
    Do you have an equivalent product(s) to MCPA Ester and Vanquish?
    Tru Green used MCPA Ester plus Vanquish on my St Augustine lawn.
    A

    Both Dicamba and MCPA are active ingredients found in many products, however many of these may cause damage to St. Augustine grass. A good choice that contains both would be Monterey Spurge Power, which can be used as spot treatment on St. Augustine lawns since it may cause some discoloration. Be sure to read and follow the product label to be sure that it will suit your needs. Another option is Speedzone Southern Herbicide, which also contains two additional active ingredients and is a formula that may be more gentle on your turf, or Trimec Southern Broadleaf Hervbicide. Be sure that your target weeds are on the product label of the herbicide that you choose to apply.
