MSM Turf Herbicide is not labeled to treat coco grass, aka purple nutsedge. Sedgehammer herbicide is labeled to treat Purple Nutsedge, Yellow Nutsedge, Kyllinga. Please see the label for full application instructions.
We recommend doing a Compatibility Test in small glass jar to test if MSM Turf Herbicide and Drive XLR8 are compatible before tank mixing. If there are signs of clumping or separation, do not tank mix these together and separate applications would be needed.
Before blanket spraying the tank mix combination, spot treat a small area of grass for tolerance since the turf will be more stressed in summer.When tank mixing, always follow the most restrictive product label for tank mixing instructions.
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
You could potentially mix MSM Turf Herbicide with another pesticide. We always recommend that you perform a small jar test for compatibility before mixing a large tank of two products together for the first time. Additionally, be sure you are using the correct rates for both products you are using and that both products are labeled to be used in the area(s) where you intend to apply them.
Please refer to the MSM Turf Herbicide product label for tank mixing instructions as well as the pesticide product label you want to tank mix.

Yes, MSM Turf Herbicide is pet safe and they are able return to the treated areas once the grass is completely dry. This may take a few hours.
Yes, there is a risk of spraying weeds with MSM Turf Herbicide in, under and around trees when targeting virginia buttonweed.

Do not apply if there is risk of oversray or windrift onto desirable trees,bushes, shrubs, broadcast spray under tree canopies and stay outside the drip line of trees.
MSM Turf Herbicide is a water dispersible granule that will dissolve when mixed with water.
Per the product label: The required amount of MSM Turf Herbicide should be added when the spray tank is half full of water and, with agitator running, add the proper amount of product. Finish adding the required amount of water. Continuous agitation is required to keep the product in suspension.
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.
It will be however much water it takes you to cover the acre. Since everyone walks at a different pace and the amount of water can vary by this and the equipment used. We have a great video here that details sprayer calibration, specifically.
If it has been less that 24 hours since mixed MSM Turf Herbicide you can just go back over areas to get a little more coverage or just pour out along the foundation of your home where they may be dirt.
MSM Turf Herbicide is not labeled to control signalgrass. Celsius WG Herbicide is labeled to control broadleaf signalgrass.
The MSM Turf Herbicide should not be mixed with Drive XLR8 or most other herbicides. Per the MSM Turf Herbicide Product Label: "Allow one week between the application of MSM Turf Herbicide and other pesticide products." Drive also requires the use of an MSO surfactant, whereas the MSM needs either a non ionic surfactant, or no surfactant at all to reduce any chance of burning or discoloration at the time of use.
In regards to use rates, per the Product Label: "St. Augustinegrass, Bermudagrass and Zoysiagrass (Meyers and Emerald): Apply 0.25 to 1.0 oz of MSM Turf Herbicide per acre for weed control. Some chlorosis or stunting of the turfgrass may occur following application." This means you would mix somewhere between 0.25 oz and 1 oz at the highest rate per 25 gallons of water, if that 25 gallons covers 1 acre. If the turfgrass is stressed you would want to start with lower use rates to avoid excessive discoloration on the lawn.
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
MSM Turf Herbicide is labeled for wood sorrel and is safe to use on St. Augustine grass. It is not labeled to control nutsedge so we would recommend using a product such as Sedgehammer to treat for nutsedge. For bermudagrass in St. Augustine, there is not a selective herbicide that would kill the bermudagrass without also injuring the St. Augustine. It is recommended to spot treat areas of bermudagrass with a glyphosate herbicide such as Roundup and then reseeding/resodding any bare spots after 2 weeks.
Do not make applications in Spring if your turfgrass is transitioning in or out of dormacy. Allow for complete green up and apply in Summer, Fall and Winter only.
View our St. Augustine Lawn Maintenance Guide for more information.
You should not mow 2-3 days before or after the application of MSM Turf Herbicide as mowing stresses the turf which can affect the uptake/absorption of the herbicide.
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.
We do not recommend mixing MSM Turf Herbicide and Fahrenheit Herbicide together since the Fahrenheit already contains 2 active ingredients, one of which is MSM. There is a list of recommended tank mix partners for MSM Turf Herbicide on the full product label here.
How much MSM Turf Herbicide you use will depend on the size of the area you are covering as well as the type of turfgrass you are treating. So if you are treating 1 acre of Bermudagrass and applying 1 oz of MSM per Acre, then you first need to determine how much water you will use to treat that 1 acre. If your 14 gallons of solution will only cover 1/4 acre, then you would use 0.25 oz of MSM Herbicide per tank. If your 14 gallons will cover 1/2 acre, then you would use 0.5 oz of MSM Herbicide per tank.
Please refer to the product label for full application rates. We also have a video here to help you with calibrating your sprayer.
