QuickSilver Herbicide
By William on 12/21/2014
Have purchased a lot of expensive herbicides from here. As always - excellent service. However, this product does not work on 'Florida pusley'. Really disappointed about $145.00 that does not work.
Expert response:
Quicksilver Herbicide is labeled for Florida pusley. Per the product label:
"As a stand-alone product:
Apply Quicksilver at rates of 1.0 to 2.1 fluid ounces of product per acre (0.023 to 0.048 fl. oz. per 1000 sq. ft.) for control of seedling (4 inches tall or less) winter and summer annual weeds [list includes FL pusley].
Use a non-ionic surfactant in the spray mix at a rate of 0.25% volume/volume. Follow all adjuvant manufacturers guidelines."
If weeds are not actively growing, then they will be more difficult to control with selective herbicides such as Quicksilver. You may also contact your local Cooperative Extension office for recommendations from a local Master Gardener about the recommended products and application timing for your particular situation: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/
