There is no restriction on the Pramitol 25E product label regarding playgrounds, it would be used only in areas where complete control of all vegetation is desired. As long as children are out of the area during application until dry it should be ok to use.
Pramitol 25E is a soil sterilizer and would kill all plants it comes into contact with and within typically a 5 foot reach of where it is used. This is only for bare ground applications in areas where you want no plant life to grow for up to one year, such as gravel driveways/walkways, airport runways, etc.
Broadleaf weeds in a flower & ornamental beds will be treated very differently and much more carefully than would be needed in a lawn. Any broadleaf weeds (like clover, violets, dandelion, bittercress, etc) have to be hand pulled or directly spot treated with a general weed control product or roundup. Since broadleaf weeds are so similar in nature to most plants found in bedding areas, you would not be able to spray over the top without harming both. Any grassy weeds can usually be controlled with an over the top broadcast spray in flower beds with no worry of harm coming to them, but you will always want to check the product label for your specific species to be sure it’s safe. We recommend using pre-emergents as that is the most effective way to stop weeds especially in flower bed areas where chemical options are limited. Below you fill find links to liquid and granule options for your bedding areas.
Post Emergent (kills what has already emerged from the soil)
Grass Out Max
Non Ionic Surfactant- Will need to be mixed in with the Grass Out Max
Pre-Emergent Herbicide
Snapshot Herbicide
Applying Pramitol 25E at less than the recommended rates may cause the product to be less effective or not effective at all.
You are pretty close on your application needs. The Pramitol 25E Product Label states for under asphalt and similar areas: Apply Pramitol 25E uniformly at the rate of 7.8 gals. per acre (23 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft.) in a minimum of 100 gals. of water. Use the lower rate to control annual and susceptible perennial weeds and grasses such as downy bromegrass, oatgrass, goosegrass, quackgrass, puncturevine, goldenrod, and plantain. Use the higher rate to control hard-to-kill perennial weeds and grasses such as johnsongrass, bindweed, and wild carrot.
Mixing roundup in will definitely help with the burn down of the already actively growing and emerged weeds. Using most roundup products around 2-5 oz per gallon of water will yield a strong enough solution for any burn down. Be sure to keep the Pramitol outside the dripline of any desirable vegetation on the property like trees/bushes/shrubs etc.
Pramitol 25E is mixed at the rate of 8 ounces per gallon of water at the lowest dilution, up to 32 ounces per gallonfor harder to kill brush. Please see the product label for complete application instructions.
Pramitol 25E is a total vegetation killing product and will eliminate anything growing where you spray it. It will keep anything new from growing in the treated areas for up to 1 year. Caution should be used during application as some leaching in the soil could occur and destroy nearby desirable vegetation and turfs.
That is correct, you should only be mixing up the amount of solution you plan to use at that time and no left over solution should be stored in the sprayer. Up to 24 hours is the most you would leave a product in solution for and one like Pramitol 25E will start to settle and break down in the sprayer the longer it is left sitting.
Yes, Pramitol 25E can be mixed with glyphosate products like Cornerstone Plus Herbicide for more effective results.
Pramitol 25E is toxic to fish. The product label recommends that it not be applied directly to water, areas where surface water is present, where runoff into a body of water may occur, or in intertidal areas lower than the high water mark.
Pramitol 25E is mixed at the rate of 8 ounces per gallon of water at the lowest dilution, up to 32 ounces per gallon for harder to kill brush. Please see the product label for complete application instructions.
You could potentially mix Pramitol with other post-emergent herbicides such as Roundup/glyphosate and 2,4-D if you have a lot of existing plants that you are needing to kill. Just be sure you are using the correct application rates for each product. You may not need the 2,4-D unless you have a lot of tougher broadleaf weeds. Keep in mind that the Pramitol needs to get down into the soil but you want to post-emergent herbicides to be able to dry on the target leaf surfaces. It may be helpful for you to lightly water the area before spraying so that the soil can absorb the Pramitol more readily.
A Pramitol 25E spill should fade over time, or you can use a tough deck brush to remove.
There are no temperature restrictions for Pramitol 25E. However, we do suggest that you use and store it in above freezing temperatures. Once products hit a freezing point, they can break down and become less effective.
You can apply Pramitol 25E before or up to three months after weed emergence. Pramitol 25E is a total vegetation killing product and will eliminate anything growing where you spray it and will keep anything new from growing in the treated areas for up to 1 year.
You should not apply Pramitol 25E around any wells or cisterns as it could contaminate ground or drinking water. Pramitol is very persistent, so you should never use or spray it anywhere near desirable plants or cropt. To treat around water that you will use to irrigate crops, you will need to use herbicides labeled for this application. You could use a non-selective aquatic herbicide such as Rodeo Herbicide which is safe for use around drainage ditches, and there is no restriction on the use of treated water for irrigation, recreation, or domestic purposes. Be sure you use an aquatic approved surfactant when using Rodeo, such as DyneAmic Surfactant.
We would advise to allow 1-2 hours to let the Pramitol dry sufficiently before releasing any animals back into the treated area. Keep in mind that Pramitol shoud not be used in any grazing areas.
Pramitol 25E is a total vegetation killing product and will eliminate anything growing where you spray it. The Pramitol will keep anything new from growing in the treated areas for up to 1 year. Caution should be used during application as some leaching in the soil could occur and destroy nearby desirable vegetation and turfs. You should use 50-100 gallons of water per Acre, or at least 1-3 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft. You would not be able to plant hay or other desirable plants in the treated area for at least one year.
Pramitol 25E is not specifically labeled for bamboo elimination. Any glyphosate product may or may not do the job right off to control the Bamboo. Since bamboo roots go so deep, you would need to apply either a product like Rodeo/Roundup QuikPro at the highest rates directly to the fresh cut stump of the bamboo after you cut it down level to the ground, or use a brush and stump killer undiluted directly on the fresh stump.
