  • Asked by Kenny from Minooka, Il
    08/19/2019
    Q
    What is the mix rate when using a 4 gallon backpack sprayer to use Prime Source Meso 4SC Select as a pre-emergent for seeding?
    The label mentions acres and a 30 gallon tank.
    A

    You can apply Prime Source Meso 4SC at 5-8 oz per Acre for pre-emergent control, which breaks down to 0.11 – 0.18 oz, or 2/3 tsp to 1 tsp per 1000 sq ft. Be sure that you check the more detailed rates on the product label for your specific turfgrass since some grasses require the lower application rates. Usually you will use about 1 gallon of water per 1000 sq ft with a backpack sprayer but be sure you water-in your pre-emergent application after it is made.

  • Asked by Matt from Richmond, Va
    09/27/2019
    Q
    Can Prime Source Meso 4SC Select have residual impact that turns some seedlings white?
    I used Prime Source Meso 4SC Select in two applications before fescue seeding with the last application being about 5 days prior to seeding. I’m noticing one small patch of seedlings turning white about 2.5 weeks after the tenacity application and 1.5 weeks after seeding. Could this be a residual impact of Meso or do I have other potential issues? The white seedlings are very localized to a spot the size of my hand. I have been watering several times per day but this isn’t the wettest part of my yard (although it is relatively shady).
    A

    Prime Source Meso 4SC Select also has pre-emergent activity up to 30 days so it can cause whitening on new seedlings when applied as a broadcast application.  You can try to eliminate the whitening with a Chelated Iron product.

  • Asked by Miguel from Conroe, Tx
    10/22/2019
    Q
    Can I use Prime Source Meso 4SC Select to target nimblewill and crabgrass in St Augustine turf?
    Which product should I use?
    A

    You should not use Prime Source Meso 4SC on your St. Augustine home lawn. This product can be used at reduced rates (no more than 4 oz per Acre) on St. Augustine that is grown for sod only, unfortunately. Your only real option in a residential area would be to use a non-selective herbicide such as Killzall or another non-selective herbicide to spot treat the Nimblewill to kill it directly, and then replant St. Augustine in those areas.

    For crabgrass, you can use Atrazine or Blindside to suppress the crabgrass, and Dimension as a pre-emergent for it in the spring.

    Q
    How soon after applying Prime Source Meso 4SC Select should you apply water?
    A

    If you are applying Prime Source Meso 4SC Select (Generic Tenacity Herbicide) as a post-emergent herbicide (to kill existing weeds), then you should wait at least 24 hours before watering the treatment area.

    07/05/2020
    Q
    Will Prime Source Meso 4SC Select (Generic Tenacity Herbicide) still work if I purchased it in the fall and it is now separated?
    I used some in the fall and kept it in the garage over the winter. Temp in the garage never got below 10°F or so over the winter. It is now separated into a translucent oily looking thin top layer and a creamy white bottom. Will it still work if I shake it thoroughly?
    A

    It is best to store chemicals such as Prime Source Meso 4SC Select in a cool dry place away from extreme temperatures (below freezing and above 85) and direct sunlight.  If the product was exposed to below freezing temperatures and it is separating and will not mix back up, then it would be recommended to replace as it may not be as effective.
