    Q
    Pendulum 3.3 EC was used in a bed to get rid of bermuda grass. Can I now plant other plants?
    A
    Pendulum 3.3 EC is a pre-emergent herbicide that prevents weeds from emerging from seeds but is not labeled to control Bermuda grass at, in fact it is a product that is often used in Bermuda grass to control the weeds listed on the product label.  There is no time period that should be observered before planting new plants, but you would be disturbing the barrier that Pendulum 3.3 EC created if used after application so it is generally used after planting or at the time of planting.

    Q
    What kind of sprayer should be used to apply Pendulum 3.3 EC for residental use?
    I used my big box store backpack sprayer and it kept clogging up on me. Maybe this is because it is oil based?
    A

    Pendulum 3.3 EC - 2.5 Gallons is oil based but should not clog sprayers when mixed as directed on the label.  Agitating the mixture well before and during application can help it stay suspended.  We do carry many professional grade backpack sprayers that could be used to apply it.

    Q
    How long after seedling emergence do I wait before using Pendulum 3.3 EC?
    I have bermuda grass that I seeded. It has come up about 30 days ago. I have mowed 3 times now.
    A

    It is recommended that you wait at least three months after applying Pendulum 3.3 EC to reseed or overseed your turfgrass. It is also recommended that you allow the turf to recover prior to making an application of the product. If you are treating new areas, you should wait until it is well established with at least three mowings.

  • Asked by Richard from Bakersfield, Ca
    01/25/2018
    Q
    How much of the Pendulum 3.3 EC should I use in 1 gallon of water?
    A

    The first thing you need to know when using an herbicide such as Pendulum is that the exact amount of water you dilute it with is not important. It is only important to make sure you are using the correct amount of product per 1,000 sq ft of lawn. Use too much and you risk damaging your lawn, use too little and you will not get adequate results. You will need to use 1.3 - 1.8 oz of Pendulum per 1,000 sq ft of lawn. To decide how much water you want to use, you should mark a 1,000 sq ft area, fill your sprayer with water ONLY, and start walking and spraying just as if you were doing the actual application of herbicide. When you are done walking and spraying the 1,000 sq ft area note how much water it took you to spray that area, and that is the amount you will want to mix 1.3-1.8 oz of product with for each 1,000 sq ft area that needs to be treated. You will need to make sure treated areas are irrigated with at least 1/2 inch of water (either by rainfall or by sprinkler) following the application.

  • Asked by Greg from Jackson, Ms

    Q
    What is the best month to apply Pendulum 3.3 EC to control Sandspur for next year?
    I have a St. Augustine yard in Jackson Mississippi with Sandspur.
    A
    Most regions recommend treating Sandspur with a pre-emergent in February. Unfortunately, Pendulum 3.3 EC is not labeled to treat sandspur and we are not aware of a pre-emergent that we carry that is labeled to control Sandspur. You can use a product called HI Yield Atrazine Killer which is a post-emergent that is labeled to treat Sandspur and can be used in St. Augustine lawns when weeds are actively growing.

    A

    According to the label for Pendulum 3.3 EC, it is recommended that you wash the area immediately so that the product does not stain. The manufacturer says that muratic acid (found at many janitorial supply stores) will help to the yellow stains left from Pendulum 3.3 EC.

  • Asked by Joe
    09/21/2018
    Q
    Your Q & A suggests 1/2" sprinkler/rain following application of Pendulum 3.3 EC Herbicide. Will 2-3" rain dilute application or possibly even make it ineffective?
    A

    If you are expecting very heavy rains in a short amount of time, then we recommend waiting until after that rain to make your application of Pendulum 3.3 EC Herbicide so that your active ingredient doesn’t get washed away. Extra heavy rainfall right after application could cause some runoff and lead to uneven treatment and spotty weed control. If that 2-3” is over several days or weeks, then it should not upset your treatment. If the ground is very dry before application, then you may need to moisten the soil first so that you do not get pools of product. Conversely, if the ground is very saturated, then allow it to dry up some before you apply the product. Since this is a pre-emergent, the idea is to get the active ingredient into the soil evenly for best results.

  • Asked by Randall from Russell, Kansas
    10/18/2016
    Q
    What is the best time of year (month in Kansas) to apply Pendulum 3.3 EC?
    I need to apply it how long before a rain to be effective? How soon after application does it need to rain to be effective? Is it ap 90 oz per acre?
    A

    Pre-Emergents like Pendulum 3.3 EC should be applied before the weeds start to germinate. We suggest that you contact you local Extension Office  to get the best time for your area. The efficacy of this product will improve if followed by 1 1/2" of rainfall or its equivalent in sprinkler irrigation. If it is not activated by rainfall or irrigation within 30 days, erratic weed control may result. You apply it at 1.3 - 1.8 oz per 1000 sq ft or 3.6 to 4.8 pts per acre.

    Q
    Is pendulum considered a 2-in-1 herbicide?
    I read that in October you should apply a 2-in-1 herbicide on st augustine grass. I was wondering if pendulum fits the bill?
    A
    Pendulum is a pre-emergent weed killer only. We are not sure what they mean by 2-in1 unless they mean a product that includes a fertilizer perhaps?
