    Q
    Can I use MSM Turf on St. Augustine Grass to get rid of Virginia buttonweed and when it be sprayed?
    A

    MSM Turf Herbicide is safe to use on St. Augustine grass and is labeled to control seedling Virginia Buttonweed, but only suppress the more mature plants - repeat applications may be required in 4 to 6 weeks.  This basically means that it is more likely to kill newer growth, but will have a tougher time killing the more established Virgina Buttonweeds.  Best to start treatments when it just starts to emerge and is young

    Q
    I am renovating my bermudagrass lawn in these next coming weeks and I want to kill all weeds in the lawn. Can MSM Turf Herbicide be used to kill all the weeds and allow me to still reseed with a bermuda/fescue seed as I have shade and sun in the yard. When should I plan to aerate the lawn? Before seeding o after seeding?
    A

    MSM Turf Herbicide can be applied as a broadcast application on Bermudagrass at 0.25 - 1.0 oz per acre. There may be some temporary chlorosis on desirable turfgrass. Since fescue can be sensitive to MSM Turf Herbicide, you should not seed for 2-4 months after applying this product unless you have done previous testing to indicate this is not an issue. Please refer to the product label for complete instructions and precautions. 

    Regarding your seeding in general, usually cool season turf like fescue is seeded in the fall and warm-season grasses like Bermudagrass are seeded in early summer. 

    If you do plan to schedule an aeration for your lawn it is important that any pre-emergent herbicide be applied after the aeration is completed. Aeration can be done spring-summer excess moisture is known to sit on the grass.

    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 I mix Image and MSM for an application on a Saint Augustine Lawn in Florida?
    I want to control nutsedge and spurge.
    A

    The product label of MSM does not mention that MSM and Image have been tested for tank mixes.  It does state: "Tank mixes with other registered herbicides and MSM Turf Herbicide should be tested for compatibility before full scale mixing. Use mechanical or bypass agitation to thoroughly mix the spray suspension. It is not necessary to premix this product with water in a separate container prior to adding it to the spray tank. This product should always be added to the tank first, before any other herbicides or adjuvants." Keep in mind that MSM has extremely low application rates and is very difficult to apply to small areas.

    A great option to treat both nutsedge and spurge would be a sulfentrazone product such as Sulfentrazone 4SC. This product is safe on most turfgrasses and has very low use rates.

  • Asked by Bryce from Florence, Sc
    03/09/2021
    Q
    If I spray 15 gallons per acre and use the amount of MSM Turf Herbicide on the label per acre, will that be correct?
    I have a 15 gallon sprayer and centipede grass.
    A

    MSM Turf Herbicide is labeled to be applied at water volumes of 20 to 80 gallons of water per acre and pressures of 25-35 psi, so using only 15 gallons of water would not give you adequate volume for that size of an area. On Centipedegrass, you can apply 0.25 - 0.5 oz of MSM Herbicide per Acre.

    Q
    Will MSM Turf Herbicide kill my Bermuda that is just starting to emerge?
    I'm trying to kill Hairy Bittercress in my Bermuda lawn but my Bermuda is just starting to grow due to the afternoon late winter temps being in the low 70s. I can see green blades starting to emerge from the old brown grass.
    A

    You can apply MSM during dormancy or after complete green-up of the Bermuda lawn in the spring.  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.
