No, Remedy Ultra Herbicide is not labeled to control or kill nutsedge.
Please view our Nutsedge Treatment Guide for product recommendations and more information to eradicate nutsedge.
After an application of Remedy Ultra Herbicide, a 5ft mesquite would probably take a good 3-4 weeks to kill before it can be cut down. If you sprayed on August 1st, we recommend giving it another weed or two before cutting it down but we would still recommend to spray the stump after cutting it just to be safe.
How you dilute and apply Remedy Ultra Herbicide will depend on the target plant(s) and how you are applying the product. For example, to use Remedy Ultra for a cut stump treatment, you would cut the tree down to a stump and then treat the fresh cuts with Remedy Ultra Herbicide. For small volume applications, you would use 25-38.4 oz per gallon of water, being sure to get the outer layers and cambium of the stump. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
Remedy Ultra Herbicide does not harm any insects like butterflies and moths. We do recommend applying in the early morning or later in the evening when pollinators are less active if you are treating plants with blooms.
As long as Remedy Ultra Herbicide is used as directed it is safe. Let the treated area completely dry before letting our pets back outside typically after 4-6 hours. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
Remedy Ultra Herbicide is not labeled to control prickly pear cactus, so we cannot recommend this product for that application.
One very difficult part of controlling this plant is that all debris must be removed from the area to prevent resprouting. Unfortunately, we do not have any herbicides currently labeled to control cactus. This Field Guide from the USDA discusses control methods for prickly pear cactus. Another active ingredient mentioned is Fluroxypyr, which we do have in the product E-2 Herbicide. We recommend consulting your local Cooperative Extension office for assistance. Since this is a heavily invasive species of importance, most local offices will want to know where the plant is being found.
Remedy Ultra Herbicide is labeled to treat various types of trees as foliar, basal trunk or stump treatment. Please refer to the product label for instructions specific to your application.
Remedy Ultra Herbicide is for the control of woody plants and broadleaf weeds on rangeland, permanent grass pastures, and conservation reserve program (CRP) acres (including fence rows and non-irrigation ditch banks within these areas). The product should not be applied to turf grass as it is not labeled for use on residential lawns. It can persist for up to 1 year in the soil.
Remedy Ultra Herbicide treated areas are safe for chickens/animals to return to once dry, typically after 4-6 hours.
Remedy Ultra Herbicide is not specifically labeled for ironweed. Amine 400 2,4 - D Weed Killer, GrazonNext and Crossbow are labeled for ironweed. Remember to always refer to the specific product label for approved application sites and recommended mix rates.
Control of this weed can take up to 12 to 18 months.It is recommended to begin control for ironweed in early to mid-July by mowing emerged tall ironweed stem then apply herbicides in August or by early September as a broadcast treatment. Although mid-summer (June and July) treatments can provide good control, better herbicide movement to the root system occurs with perennial weeds such as tall ironweed with late summer applications.
Remedy Ultra Herbicide is not labeled for use around any edible crops. You can browse our herbicides labeled for use around edibles here.
Yes, Remedy Ultra Herbicide is labeled to kill clover in areas listed on the product label.
The rates for Remedy Ultra Herbicide will vary depending on where and how you are treating. Please refer to the product label for complete instructions for your specific application. If your application requires it to be mixed with oil, you will use diesel or fuel oil.
For spot treatment, you will use a 1 to 1.5% solution of Remedy Ultra in water (1 to 1 1/2 gallons of Remedy Ultra in 100 gallons total spray mixture, or 0.78 to 1.92 fl oz per gallon) and spray the entire plant to completely wet the foliage.
Remedy Ultra Herbicide treated plants typically die within two to three weeks after an application as it is a systemic herbicide that moves through the plant and this takes time. Plant growth will start to look abnormal within days of applying though. Please review the product label for application rates and instructions.
When trying to kill mimosa trees, it is best to cut the tree down and then immediately treat the fresh cut stump using an herbicide like Remedy Ultra Herbicide. Please refer to the product label for complete information on your application.
Remedy Ultra Herbicide is not labeled to control bamboo, although many people will use products containing triclopyr in conjunction with bamboo labeled herbices to try and gain better control. You can use Round Up QuickPro at the highest listed usage rate to help eliminate bamboo. No matter what product you use when trying to control bamboo you need to cut the plant down level with the ground and then use the designated product at the highest rate or undiluted to paint/pour directly on the freshly cut surface. Bamboo roots run very deep so often you have to do multiple applications with a product and repeat the cutting and painting phase a few times to fully kill the plant.?
Remedy Ultra Herbicide should be mixed at a 1 to 1.5% solution in water for spot treatments. This would be 0.78 fl oz to 1.92 fl oz per gallon of water (1 to 1 1/2 gallons of Remedy Ultra in 100 gallons total spray mixture)
You could potentially mix another herbicide such as MSMA with Remedy Ultra Herbicide. Be sure that you always use the more restrictive label when mixing two products and that both can be used in your application site. We also always recommend a small jar test before mixing two products together in a large tank. Please refer to the full details under "Tank Mixing" starting on page 3 of Remedy product label here.
We have heard some folks use dish soap as a surfactant. We cannot recommend dish soap to be mixed with Remedy Ultra Herbicide, because there is not enough research behind it. We recommend a product like Non-Ionic Surfactant to be mixed with most herbicides that are labeled for it.
