    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…

    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 a…

  • Asked by Mona from Cedar Hill Tn
    04/16/2019
    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.

    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 afte…

    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.
