    Q
    What is the recommended rate of MSM Turf Herbicide along with a surfactant to kill Virginia buttonweed in fescue?
    product will be spot sprayed with surfactant added. 4 gallon mix, central NC. area
    A

    You will use 0.5 to 1.0 oz of MSM Turf Herbicide per acre for control of Virginia buttonweed. Per the product label, a subsequent application after 4-6 weeks may be needed. This breaks down to approx 0.005 to 0.01 oz per 1 gallon.  If you only have a small area you can spot treat.  If it is all over the lawn it is best to broadcast.  You would use the 0.01 oz per gallon for spot treating.

    Please read the label for full application instructions.

    Q
    Will MSM Turf Herbicide control lawn burweed without injuring lawns in Louisiana (zone 9A)?
    I have clients who are just starting up with our company and they are asking if we can control Burweed in their turf areas. This and Celcius are the only 2 hot weather chems I can think of we can use right now without damaging turf. Will the MSM work on Burweed?
    A

    MSM Turf Herbicide is not labeled for lawn burweed.

    An alternative to Celsius WG to treat lawn burweed would be Certainty Herbicide. This is safe for warm season turfgrasses and labeled to control lawn burweed with the use of a Non Ionic Surfactant.  A second application may be required 4 to 6 weeks following the initial application for complete control.

    For smaller lawns, Image Kill Nutsedge Concentrate could be used. 

    During warm/summer months, applications should be done in early morning or late afternoon/evening when temperatures are coolest and between 65-85 degrees to prevent injuring turf.

    Q
    How much MSM Turf Herbicide to mix in a 100 gallon sprayer to kill foxtail and horsenettle in a bermuda field?
    A

    MSM Turf Herbicide states to use 0.5 fl oz to 1 fl oz per acre for foxtail but it is not labeled for horsenettle. If you are treating 10 acres, you would use 5 fl oz to 10 fl oz for 10 acres. hat would be 5oz-10z for all 10 acres. High volume ground application will require 100 to 400 gallons of water per acre; Low volume ground application will require 20 to 50 gallons of water per acre; and ultra-low volume ground application will require 10 to 20 gallons of water per acre. Regardless of the application volume and equipment used, thorough coverage of the foliage is necessary to optimize results

    For horsenettle, Milestone Specialty Herbicide would be recommeneded at the rate of 5 fl oz to 7 fl oz per acre. Please refer to page 5 of the product label for more specific information. 

    A Non Ionic Surfactant is recommended on both product labels for MSM Turf and Milestone Herbicide for best results.

    Q
    Is MSM Turf Herbicide as dangerous as the insert makes it out to be?
    I realize that there are lawyers and we live in a litigious society, but really? Rinse the sprayer multiple times? I rinsed the (2 gallon) sprayer out, refilled and let the 2 gals spray out the wand. Jeez, how clean does it need to be. I use that sprayer for broadcast pesticide and don't want to kill something important; e.g., wifeys ornamentals, next time I spray for bugs
    A
    With any product you use you will want to follow the MSM Turf Herbicide instructions to ensure any risks associated with it are reduced.

    The normal protocol in the industry when using the same sprayer for multiple chemicals, is to triple rinse it between each use. You would want to run clean water not only through the tank, but pressurize it to pump clean water through the pump itself, hose, wand and nozzle to clean them. As long as you do a thorough job rinsing it you can swap over to a new chemical right away in the same sprayer.

    Q
    Can MSM Turf be used to kill bahiagrass in TTTF lawn?
    I'm in the transition zone and a lot of my customers have tall fescue. Several have bahiagrass infestations. Can MSM be used on TTTF? If so, how much can be used in a 4 gallon backpack sprayer? One customer is about 13K sq feet, another 25K
    A

    MSM Turf Herbicide can be used in fine fescue.  It will injure tall fescue.  

    Unfortunately we do not carry a product that would kill bahia grass in fescue. Your best option would be to spot treat the bahia directly with a non selective herbicide and reseed/sod the desirable turfgrass

  • Asked by Robert from South Carolina
    08/25/2022
    Q
    Can I use MSM in Jan, Feb mixed with Prodiomine without a surfactant?
    Prodiomine does not need a surfactant. should it be used separately and if so, how many days afterwards can MSM be used? Should MSM be used afterwards when the weeds are present with a surfactant?
    A
    MSM Turf Herbicide is a post emergent that requires the use of a surfactant while Prodiamine is a pre-emergent and does not require one.  There is no time restriction between using the 2 type of products, MSM should only be applied to actively growing weeds and Prodiamine is applied before weeds germinate so usually at different times.

    Q
    Will MSM Turf Herbicide harm Pachysandra?
    I have Oxalis Dillenii taking over an area where I just planted Pachysandra last spring. Been pulling a pulling the plant out. Only seems to get worse.
    A

    MSM Turf Herbicide is only safe to apply on turfgrass it would not be used on ornamentals or groundcovers.  For broadleaf weeds around ornamentals your best bet is to hand pull or very carefully spot treat with a non selective herbicide avoiding any contact with desirables.

    Q
    Is MSM Turf Herbicide safe to use on dormant Bermuda?
    Is there an optimal outside temperature that this product should be applied to dormant burmuda?
    A

    Yes, you can apply MSM during dormancy. You don't want to apply any weed controls to the lawn during spring green-up since this is when the grass is in its most fragile state. 
     
    MSM Turf Herbicide is best applied when target weeds are actively growing and healthy, usually best between temperatures above 55 and below 85. Per the product label: Do not apply MSM Turf Herbicide to turf under stress from drought, insects, disease, cold temperatures, high temperatures of above 85°F on cool season grasses, or poor fertility as injury may result.

    Q
    What is the mix rate for mixing MSM Turf and Sulfentrazone together?
    I currently have both MSM Turf and Sulfentrazone to apply to my Zenith Zoysia lawn. I believe I can mix both together in a 1-4 gallon mix tank but was wondering what would the mix rates be for both if I wanted to mix them together in a single mix tank.
    A

    Since MSM Turf Herbicide requires the use of a non ionic surfactant and Sulfentrazone products do not as they already contain one it would be best to apply in separate applications following the rates for each product.

    Q
    Can Tenacity and MSM be mixed
    I have an established centipede lawn and live in North Carolina. I would like to kill my lespedeza and crabgrass weeds. Can I mix MSM and Tenacity and spray apply at the same time?
    A
    No, Tenacity is not labeled to be broadcast when using as a post emergent.  You should only be spot treating your crabgrass with Tenacity.  Unfortunately, there is no easy way to measure 0.01 oz of Quali-Pro MSM Turf Herbicide to make a 1 gallon solution. Per the manufacturer, their recommended rate to use for spot applications is of 0.1 oz per 4 gallons of water, which can be easily measured with their measuring device provided.

    Q
    Can i mix non-ionic surfactant and Trimec with MSM Turf Herbicide?
    A

    It would not be recommended to tank mix MSM Turf Herbicide with a Trimec herbicide, as the labels advise that surfactants when combined with them can damage the leaf tissue of turfgrass.  It would be best to apply in seperate applications 24 hours apart.

  • Asked by Blaise from Johnstown Pa
    03/12/2023
    Q
    I'm puzzled, in the question and answer forum I saw that msm should not be used on edible vegetation and then
    a question of how long after use on a hayfield. Hay is edible vegetation. Can or can't msm be used on hay ?
    A

    There is a Q&A on the MSM Turf Herbicide page that I have copied for you below with the answer we provided to other customers regarding applications to hay. Edible crops such as vegetables and fruit trees are not the same as or in the same category on labels as hay or grazing would be, and each would have their own specific use instructions on the label regarding restrictions of use. 
     
    Q

    How soon can hay be cut after applying MSM Turf Herbicide?

    A

    According to the product label of Quali-Pro MSM Turf Herbicide, there are NO restrictions regarding cutting hay after the applicaiton. The product label states: "GRAZING AND HAYING RESTRICTIONS: NONE. However, coveralls and shoes plus socks must be worn if cutting within 4 hours of treatment." Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.

    Q
    Can/Should I use Fahrenheit along with MSM?
    My lawn is pretty infected with dollar weed. My first application of MSM is looking great, yellowing out all the weeds. Would it be advisable to alternate every 4 weeks between MSM and Fahrenheit? Or some different application ratio between the two?
    A

    Fahrenheit and MSM both contain metsulfuron-methyl and doing too much can damage the good grass. You should do those separately to not stress or damage the lawn. Probably give a week between treatments even if you would like to use both.
