Post Emergent Control of Grassy Weeds

Q4 Plus Turf Herbicide for Grassy & Broadleaf Weeds can provide post-emergent control and suppression of the grassy weeds listed. Apply to weeds during the growth stages. Applications under adequate soil moisture conditions are preferred. Early summer treatments are generally more effective. Applications in the summer (approximately July 15 to August 15) to older, drought stressed grassy weeds are less effective. Late summer applications (after August 15) to mature crabgrass can be very effective. Weed control is affected by the spray volume, timing and the weed growth stages.

Post Emergent Control of Broadleaf Weeds

Apply this product to broadleaf weeds that are young and actively growing for the best results. Spring and fall treatments under adequate soil moisture conditions are preferred to the summer treatments. Generally, summer broadcast applications to older, drought stressed weeds are less effective. Fall applications provide improved control for emerged winter annuals and perennials such as henbit, chickweed, clover and ground ivy.

SPOT TREATMENTS:

  • Calibration and proper application are essential when using Q4 Plus Turf. Spray coverage should be uniform and complete.
  • Over applications can result in turfgrass injury.
  • Cool-Season Turf: 2.6 to 3.0 fl. oz. with 1 gallon of water for treatment of approximately 1,000 sq. ft. of turfgrass. Apply to weeds during the growth stages.
  • Warm-Season: 1.84 to 2.57 fl. oz. with 1 gallon of water for treatment of approximately 1,000 sq. ft. of turfgrass. Apply to weeds during the growth stages.
  • See specific Bermudagrass and zoysiagrass on label.

    Great product

    By Edward on 05/04/2013

    This worked great to kill all the weeds and crabgrass in my 1 acre yard. I used late August of 2012. Used ratio as recommended on label in a 15 gallon tow behind sprayer. I had a little left, so I watered down maybe 1 gallon of the mixture to fill my 15 gallon tank, and it still killed alot of the crabgrass in my neighbors yard. Would buy again.

    It Works when other stuff failed

    By Anonymous on 08/08/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I would agree with some of the other comments-there is some investment up front-but it's cheaper than hiring someone and it works. I tried other stuff from Lowes and Home Depot with no luck. Used it in hot weather but had little damage to my Bermuda grass. It killed some pretty large patches of crab grass and other weeds. Pay attention to the proper mix. Would buy again

    Great Stuff

    Kind of pricey, but you get what you pay for. Works great on getting rid of weeds, but don't get this stuff close to your flowers or they will be gone as well. I highly recommend this product.

    Worked Great

    By Anonymous on 07/21/2013

    Verified Purchase

    Q4 worked great for the broadleaf weeds and blanket crabgrass in my bermuda lawn. Didn't damage the bermuda much, even though I sprayed when the temps were hot. It didn't work well on the large-leaf crabgrass, but it completly killed the low-growing blanket crabgrass.

Q
Is Q4 Plus a good alternative to Speedzone?

I was using SpeedZone for the last few years but I can only find the gallon size now. Since this is too much for my small yard, is this Q4 a good alternative with similar results like SpeedZone or do you recommend another product? I have Bermuda Grass in Austin,TX.

A

Yes, Q4 Plus Turf Herbicide should work similarly to Speedzone but with grassy weed control as well. Another alternative would be Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone. Both products are safe for Bermuda but you will need to check the label of both to ensure they target the weeds you trying to control

Q

I need to kill groundsel (Q4 is effective) and lepidium (Celsius is effective). Can I mix both together?

We do not recommend mixing anything with the Q4 Plus Turf Herbicide as it has 4 active ingredients and could counteract other herbicides.

Q
Will Q4 Plus kill deers tongue grass?

The deers tongue grows somewhat like nimblewill and spreads rapidly. Tenacity herbicide has no effect on it whatsoever. Is there herbicide that will control deers tongue?

A

Q4 Plus is not labeled to control deers tongue grass.

The only thing we are aware of to get rid of deer tongue grass is a non selective such as Roundup QuikPRO. Otherwise, we recommend contacting your local extension office to see if they know of anything else,

Q
Does Q4 Plus Turf Herbicide kill spurge roots?

Is there a product that kills spurge roots?

A

Q4 Plus is labeled for spurge.  Spurge responds best to post-emergent weed killer when the weeds are young; mature weeds are harder to kill.  You will most likely need to complete multiple post-emergent herbicide treatments.

Q
Can Q4 & TZone be tank mixed together?

Can Q4 Plus and TZone SE be mixed and applied together? If not, I already have TZone and am looking for something to safely add and spray together that will kill established Crabgrass. Thank you.

A

We wouldn't recommend mixing Q4 Plus Turf Herbicide with TZone as they both have the same active ingredients with Q4 containing 1 extra. The combination would burn your lawn. At this time (August), it would be best to apply a pre-emergent in the spring as anything applied to the crabgrass right now would have little effect.

Q
Will Q4 Plus kill Creeping Chaffweed?
A

Unfortunately, creeping chaffweed (also known as Khaki weed)  isnt a listed targeted weed on the label.

The only post emergent we carry labeled for khaki weed is Monument 75WG Herbicide which is pretty expensive. Please note this product is designed for use on larger areas and is not availble in smaller sizes. We suggest speaking with your county extension office for advice on what others in your area may be using.

Will Q4 Plus harm Bentgrass?

Specifically I have a backyard putting green. It is Penncross PC2.0 Creeping Bentgrass. I am getting some crabgrass, goose grass, and nutsedge infiltration. I have used Q4 on my regular fescue/Kentucky blue/rye lawn with great success. I am wondering if I can use this safely on bentgrass as well.

A

Per the label Q4 Plus Turf Herbicide is not safe for use on bent grass.
