    Q
    Can Pylex be mixed with Triclopyr 60% and COC and applied with an Ortho hose end sprayer?
    Need to kill bermuda grass in lawn. If so, mix rate?
    A

    We would not recommend using Pylex Herbicide in a hose-end sprayer since it has very low use rates that would be extremely difficult to apply accurately using a hose-end sprayer. If you are going to be mixing multiple products together, it would be much more accurate to use a tank sprayer so that you can be sure you're using the correct rates for each of the products you are mixing. Please refer to the chart on page 7 of the product label here for rates and program options for controlling Bermudagrass.

    Can Pylex Herbicide be applied in early spring and then again in mid to late spring before seeding?

    No, TZone SE Herbicide can not be applied with any adjuvants, surfactants, spreader stickers, foaming agents, activators, detergents, etc as this can damage the leaf tissue of your turfgrass.

    Q
    Is Pylex Herbicide effective against poa annua (annual bluegrass) in cool season turf?
    I'm using pre-emergent treatments spring and fall but trying to reduce a bit overall.
    A

    Unfortunately Pylex Herbicide is not labeled to help control poa annua. Since your have a cool season lawn and poa annua is technically also a cool season grass, there are limited options for a selective post emergent herbicide. Prograss EC is labeled to control poa annua in cool season turfgrass however can only be applied by a licensed applicator to residential lawns. Another option would be to spot treat with a non-selective like Roundup, or wait until temperatures climb over 80 degrees for it to start dying off.

    We recommend reading over our guide on How To Kill Poa Annua for further tips and information.

    Q
    Will the Pylex Herbicide treatment for Bermudagrass harm nearby trees with shallow roots growing in the lawn area?
    My lawn was professionally treated for Bermudagrass (3 applications) this year. After the second treatment my Redbud, Ash and Silver Maple trees all began to look bad. the leaves were limp, changing color and then lost their leaves. I increased water a short distance from their trunks, hoping the added water would relieve them. However, last year due to draught conditions for about 4-6 weeks (June-July) the tree roots grew near the surface of the ground and migrated to the lawn area that is well watered. Would the Pylex treatment affect the trees? Is there anything I can do to help them recover? My lawn will be undergoing more treatments for the next two years (total of 8 treatments). I'm hoping at the end of the treatments the Bermudagrass will be eradicated, needing just an occasional spot spray thereafter. It's interesting that the treatment does not seem to touch the spotted spurge that I have an abundance of. Is there any literature written stating what plants & weeds are affected and how to prevent and/or protect desirable plants? thank you for any advise you can give me.
    A

    Per the product label, do not apply Pylex Herbicide to exposed feeder roots of trees or ornamentals or within the dripline of trees and other ornamental species. Also according to the label, bermudagrass is marginally tolerant to Pylex and some turf injury can be expected. Unfortunately, Pylex is not labeled to help control spurge but you can see if SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate is safe on your turf grass, it is labeled to help control spurge. You can review the label of each product to see the listed tolerant grasses as well as the weeds that can be controlled with either product.

    Q
    Will Pylex Herbicide damage trees or shrubs?
    I would like to use treatments of player to kill invading Bermuda in my TTTF. However the grass is near a large tree and a shrub. Would a treatment schedule of pylex kill the tree or shrub through root absorption?
    A

    According to the Pylex Herbicide product label: you DO NOT want to apply to exposed feeder roots of trees or ornamentals or within the dripline of trees and other ornamental species. DO NOT use or leave clippings as mulch around flowers, ornamentals, trees, or in any vegetable gardens.

  • Asked by Roger from York, Pa
    07/16/2021
    Q
    What is the maximum temperature Pylex Herbicide can be applied without harming fescues and ryegrass turfgrass?
    I have found that Tenacity has a max temperature for application at 80deg F. Most others top out at 90deg F.
    A

    Pylex Herbicide should not be applied during the day when temperatures are above 85 degrees. Applications should be made in early morning or evening when temperatures are at the lowest for the day. Although the product label does not give a specific temperature for being too cold, most herbicides should be applied between 65 degrees and 85 degrees.
