    Q
    What is the difference between normal Pylex and Pylex for California?
    A

    There is no difference between Pylex Herbicide & Pylex California other than what states can purchase it due to tax purposes. The labels are the same & will work the same. However, non California residents cannot buy the California version & vice versa

  • Asked by Rick from Kaysville, Utah
    05/16/2018
    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.

  • Asked by Lee from Detroit
    10/21/2022
    Q
    Can I use TZone SE Broadleaf Herbicide be tank mixed with Pylex and MSO Surfactant?
    A

    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. Tanks mixing these products together is not recommended so two separate applications would be suggested to prevent any accidental injury to your lawn.

  • Asked by Chas
    07/12/2022
    Q
    Can Pylex Herbicide be applied as a broadcast spray in residential lawns?
    It appears that maybe the label has been updated to allow broadcast spraying onto residential lawns? I see previously questions have been asked about broadcast spraying Pylex on residential lawns and you stated it is only labeled for spot spraying. The label states it is for both broadcast and spot spraying on residential lawns now?
    A

    Yes, Pylex Herbicide can now be applied as either a spot treatment or broadcast spray application. Some Q&A’s are from before 2020 when the product label was last updated.

  • Asked by Tony from Sewell, Nj
    02/26/2022
    Q
    Can Pylex Herbicide be applied in early spring and then again in mid to late spring before seeding?
    A

    Pylex Herbicide works best when the target grass you are wanting to kill is just emerging, actively growing and healthy. Refer to the list of weeds controlled on the product label for the rates for specific weeds and if a single or split application would be recommended. . 

    Regarding Seeding, the product label states: when etablished new turfgrass from seed, Pylex can be applied anytime before or after seeding with the exception of a 28 day period after seeding. Do Not apply Pylex for a period of 28 days after seeding tolerant turfgrass.

  • Asked by Adam from Annapolis,md
    05/06/2019
    Q
    Will Pylex Herbicide kill poa in tall fescue?
    A

    Pylex Herbicide is not labeled to kill poa in tall fescue. There is not a good method to get rid of this weed once it is actively growing, other than to spot treat with a non selective product like Rounup QuikPRO and over seed in those areas The best way to treat for Poa Annua is by using a pre emergent like Ferti-Lome Broadleaf Weed Control with Gallery in the fall.

  • Asked by Geoff from Johnson City, Tennessee
    08/31/2021
    Q
    Do the mix rates for Pylex Herbicide/Triclopyr Ester mix differ if using a 2 gallon hand pump sprayer vs using a 30 gallon pull behind boom sprayer with a 10ft spray width?
    My lawn is 15,000 sq feet.
    A

    No, the Pylex Herbicide rates per 1000 sq ft do not change regardless of the size sprayer you are using. Refer to page 8 of the product label for the weeds controlled and application rates per 1000 sq ft and the Tank Mixing Instructions on page 5 for Compatibility Test information.  

    Follow the recommended rates per the Pylex Herbicide product label and the Triclopyr Ester product label for your application.

  • Asked by K from Tri-cities, Washington
    10/07/2021
    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.

  • Asked by Mark from Hobbs
    03/27/2022
    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.

  • Asked by Morrison from Waldorf, Md
    06/17/2022
    Q
    Can I mix Pylex Herbicide with Gordons Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide to kill Bermuda grass more effectively?
    A

    Pylex Herbicide and Ornamec 170 Grass Herbicide can be tank mixed together for treating bermudagrass in Tall Fescue and Zoysiagrass lawns only and is not recommended if targeting bermudagrass in landscape beds or around desirable ornamentals as Pylex will injure those.  

    Bermudagrass is very difficult to control and will most likely require repeat applications over a few seasons to fully eliminate.

    Refer to the Tank Mixing Instructions on each product label to do a Compatibility Test in a small jar test prior to mixing in your sprayer.

  • Asked by David from Albuquerque, Nm

    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.
