    Q
    Will spraying weeds now with Rodeo Herbicide prevent weed growth come spring?
    The water is let down on our lake in Oct for winter, exposing all the lake weeds and making them much more accessible...but the weeds have all now gone dormant. Will spraying the weeds now have any effective kill come spring? The lake will fill with water once again come April. Would an application of Rodeo be more advisable in early April before the water rises, or does the weed killer really only work on active growing green plants?
    A

    No, Rodeo Herbicide will only kill actively growing weeds and will not stay in the soil until Spring.

    Q
    How far away should well water be from a lake area treated with Rodeo Herbicide?
    A

    The product label for Rodeo Herbicide does not list specific drinking well restrictions, so we would recommend avoiding application in a way that would directly contact a drinking well, as well as keeping applications at least 15 feet from a drinking well.

    Q
    Can I use Rodeo Herbicide or another product to kill weeds on a lake bank that has lots of cypress trees & knees?
    I have a lake bank with several different types of weed growing from water's edge to about 15 feet up on bank. The area has several cypress trees and lots of cypress knees mixed in with the weeds. Will Rodeo harm the cypress trees if spray gets on the cypress knees?
    A

    Yes, Rodeo Herbicide can be use in a lakebank to kill weeds along it, but we would recommend to spot treat the weeds around the Cypress trees and Cypress knees as to not cause injury to them. Per the label you need to "avoid contact with foliage, green stems, exposed non-woody roots or fruit of crops, desirable plants and trees, because severe injury or destruction may result".

  • Asked by Pamela from Charleston, Nc

    Q
    Will Rodeo Herbicide kill duckweed?
    A

    The Rodeo Herbicide is not labeled to control duckweed so it may not work for your needs. The Diquat Water Weed and Landscape Herbicide? is labeled for duckweed control and will do a good job. For duckweed control, apply? Diquat Water Weed and Landscape Herbicide? at 1-2 gallons/A + 32 oz./A of surfactant in at least 100 gallons of water. Treatment of dense weed areas may result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead weeds. This loss of oxygen may cause fish suffocation. Therefore, treat only 1/3 to ½ of the water body area at one time and wait 14 days between treatments.

    Q
    Is Rodeo effective on Filamentous algae mats?
    A

    Rodeo is just an herbicide and will not control algae such as filamentous algae. A copper algaecide such as Crystal Plex is most popular for treating filamentous algae mats. Be sure you read the product label and all precautions thoroughly before using aquatic herbicides or algaecides. Do not use copper products in ponds containing trout, koi, or goldfish.

  • Asked by John from Michigan
    09/24/2015
    Q
    How long will it take to see results after applying Rodeo on phragmites and do I need to add a surfactant to it?
    A

    You may notice results within two weeks of application of Rodeo (results will vary) and a surfactant can be added for better results. Per page 9 of the Rodeo product label ,"For partial control of phragmites in Florida and the counties of other states bordering the Gulf of Mexico, apply 7 1/2 pints per acre as a boradcast spray or apply a 1 1/2 percent solution with hand-held equipment.  In other areas of the U.S, apply 4 to 6 pints per acre as a broadcast spray or apply a 3/4 percent solution with hand-held equipment for partial control.  For best results, treat during late summer or fall months when plants are actively growing and in full bloom.  Repeat treatments may be necessary to maintain control"
