    Q
    How much MSM per gallon of water to kill wild onions?
    A

    MSM Turf Herbicide is intended for larger scale applications as it is applied at rates ranging from 0.25 oz to 1 oz in 100 gallons of water/per acre. For spot treating, the product label states to use 1 oz per 100 gallons of water which breaks down to be 0.01 oz per gallon of water along with 0.32 fl oz of Non Ionic Surfactant.
     
    For Wild Onion specifically (page 13), the recommended application rate is 0.33 to 0.5 oz/per acre in 100 gallons of water + 32 oz Non Ionic Surfactant. For broadcast applications to less than 1 acre, this rate breaks down to 0.02 to 0.06 grams of MSM Turf Herbicide plus 0.32 oz NIS per gallon of water per 1000 sq ft.
     
    Please view the product label for more information.

    Q
    Can you mix MSM with MSMA?
    I'm trying to kill a combination of Virginia Buttonweed and Nutsedge along a Right of Way that is predominately bermuda. I have MSM and MSMA. Can these be used together without harming the bermuda?
    A

    MSM Turf Herbicide should only be applied as directed with listed products that have been tested for compatibility. If you are applying with other registered herbicides, they should be tested for compatibility before full scale mixing/application to listed areas (test small area first). Some chlorosis or stunting of the Bermudagrass may occur following the application of MSM Turf Herbicide solution as directed.

    Q
    How long after spraying MSM Turf Herbicide can cattle graze?
    Have several acre pastures I use for my cattle to graze. I sprayed on the 17th of December and need to know if it's safe to transfer to treated area or keep in untreated pasture. Can't seem to get a straight answer
    A

    As long as MSM Turf Herbicide was used at the rate of 1 2/3 ounces or less per acre, there are no grazing restriction on pastures.  We would recommend they be out of the area during treatment until dry, typically 4-6 hours just to be safe.

    Per the product label: To maintain flexibility in crop rotation plans, do not treat your entire pasture, rangeland or CRP acreage with this product at the same time

    Q
    Can you mix MSM and liquid Drive for applications on Bermuda?
    A

    We would not recommend mixing MSM Turf Herbicide with Drive as one requires a non-ionic surfactant while the other requires an MSO. However, if you choose to proceed, we would advise doing a jar test to see how they react together. If there is no chemical reaction such as bubbling, temperature change, coagulation, etc you may proceed
