Monterey Spurge Power is used only as directed to turf lawns. Per the Monterey Spurge Power label: Avoid drift of spray mist to vegetables, flowers, ornamental plants, shrubs, trees and other desirable plants. It could injure iris if contact is made but not completely kill it.
If you are looking to get rid of wild Iris, we recommend Quali-Pro MSM Turf Herbicide on listed turfs.
The usage rates for Quali-Pro MSM Turf Herbicide will vary depending on what type(s) of weeds you are treating for, what type of grass you have, whether you will be spot treating or broadcast spraying, and how much area you need to cover. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
How much the pint covers depends on the diluation rate used which varies depending on target pest and turfgrass tpe. You will use 1-1.25 oz. of Monterey Spurge Power per 2-5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Please see the product label for complete application instructions.
No, Monterey Spurge Power does not control crabgrass or other grassy weeds. Our most popular choice for crabgrass control in most turfgrasses is Drive XLR8 Herbicide with Duo Stick surfactant. We have more tips in our online Crabgrass Lawn Care Guide here.
Monterey Spurge Power does not list seashore paspalum on the label as a tolerable species.
Monterey Spurge Power is a post-emergence herbicide that can be applied anytime creeping charlie (ground ivy) is actively growing. You can contact your Local Cooperative Extension Office for specific timing in your region.
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.
Apply Monterey Spurge Power at the rate of 1.0 to 1.25 fl. oz. in 2 gallons to 5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. to control weeds growing in lawn planted to Bluegrass, Fescue, Rye, Bent (excluding golf greens and tees), Bahia, Bermuda, and Zoysia. The actual amount of water you use does not matter, as water is only the carrier. To simplify this, you can use 1.0-1.25 fl oz of Sporge Power in 5 gallons of water to cover 1,000 sq ft.
Monterey Spurge Power will open by pushing down on the cap and turning at the same time. If it is not working, please contact the manufacturer, Monterey Lawn and Garden Products, at 559-499-2100 to get further assistance.
