    Q
    What product, if any, can kill quackgrass in my established Kentucky bluegrass yard?
    (I Live in Minnesota). I am hoping there is a broadcast spray that kills the quack grass but not my established yard.....
    A

    Unfortunately there is not an herbicide that would kill the quackgrass without damage cool season turf, such as Kentucky Bluegrass. If only a small area of the lawn is affected by the outbreak, spray only the affected area with RoundUp Quick Pro. If the problem amounts to no more than a few spears of quackgrass in an area of your lawn, paint the individual spears with diluted RoundUp QuickPro. Becareful to avoid getting the product on desirable grass. If most of the lawn has been affected by quackgrass, the only sure fire way to get rid of it is to spray the entire lawn with Roundup. Spray when the lawn is growing actively, preferably in the spring. The treatment will kill the lawn grass as well as the quackgrass. After about two weeks, you may begin the replanting.

    Q
    How do I mix Roundup QuikPRO to be applied with a hose end sprayer?
    A
    Yes, QuikPRO 1.5 oz packs can be used in a hose end sprayer.  However, you would only want to use a hose end sprayer if you wanted to kill all vegetation in a large area.  You must be careful when applying this product so it does not get on any plant or grass that you do not want to kill.  Also be attentive to over-spray when applying QuikPRO on a windy day. Please refer to the product label to apply the usage rate needed for your use.

    Q
    What to use when trying to eliminate Bahiagrass in my Centipede lawn?
    A
    Due to how similar the two turf blends are when being affected by herbicides, there is not one that will remove bahiagrass from the centipede lawn without also hurting the centipede. The best methods are to spot treat with a product like RoundUp QuikPro and then reseed heavily with centipede to try and smother out any chance of the bahiagrass creeping back in.

  • Asked by Thomas from Youngstown,ohio
    07/30/2014
    Q
    How long will the aera sprayed stay dead
    A
    RoundUp QuickPro is only going to last 2 weeks in the soil. It is only meant to kill the weed it is applied to, so repeat appliations might be necessary. In order to prevent before the weeds emerge, you will want to look at applying a pre-emergent before germination. Depending on the weeds your are trying to treat, there are some pre-emergents you can apply in the fall, but most are applied in Feb/March before spring. We recommend contacting your Master Gardener for assistance on the best time of year to apply pre-emergents and post emergents in your county.

    Q
    What do you use to get rid of carpetgrass?
    A

    Unfortunately, we do not have a selective herbicide to kill carpetgrass in another turfgrass. You can use a non-selective herbicide such as RoundUp QuikPro to spot treat the carpetgrass and then reseed or resod as needed in any bare spots.

    Q
    Which herbicide would work best for me?
    I would like some information on which Herbicide would work best for me. I live in the mountains in northern VA and I would like to know what will kill pretty much whatever I spray. I have fences and really steep banks that have grass, weeds, small bushes and some brush. Would also like to know how many gallons it makes and if it is pet and animal safe
    A
    If you are seeking a non-selective post-emergent herbicide that will brush, grass, weeds and anything sprayed directly we would suggest RoundUp QuikPro. If you do not wish to harm your turgrass, please let us know the type of grass and weeds that you will be treating. We can find you a selective herbicide that fits your needs.

    Q
    Do I need to drill holes in Wisteria stump to apply?
    Stump is wrapped around a River Birch and I am not allowed to kill this tree.
    A
    If you want to selectively kill something then you would want to drill holes into the stump or use the cut stump method.  This means you cut the stump to expose fresh pulp and immediately treat.  You may want to try a brush and stump killer product like Fertilome Brush and Stump Killer.

    Q
    How can I kill torpedo grass without killing my centipede lawn?
    A

    Unfortunately, most of the herbicides will only suppress the torpedograss for a short time, but will not kill it completely. It is recommended to spot treat the torpedo grass with a non-selective herbicide such as Round Up Quick Pro and then re-seed or re-sod in those areas.

    Q
    What can be used to remove bermudagrass from my Bahia Grass lawn?
    I live in west coast central florida. I have a bahia lawn that was really nice, then a type of bermuda has pretty much taken over. is there anything i can do to get my lawn back? Thanks in advance.
    A

    Unfortunately, there are not a lot of options out there for removing bermuda grass from bahia lawns, as these are very similar grasses.  Typically, anything that will kill the bermuda will also harm the bahia.   It is usually recommended to spot treat the bermuda as much as possible with a product like Roundup QuikPro, and then replant with bahia in those areas in a couple of weeks when the bermuda is gone.

    Q
    I live in Jax, Florida and I need a spreadable product to get rid of dollar weed.
    A
    We carry Roundup Quick Pro and Ranger Pro Herbicides. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in both Roundup and Ranger, is a non-selective herbicide that should be used with caution. Do not allow glyphosate spray mist to contact ornamental foliage or severe injury will occur. A cardboard shield may be used to prevent glyphosate spray from drifting to nearby ornamentals. Glyphosate is more effective when weeds are actively growing and should not be applied under drought conditions. As with all pesticides, read and follow all label instructions and precautions. For all over lawn treatments we recommend contacting your Local Cooperative Extension Office for advice.

    Q
    Would an Atrazine be safe to treat for weeds in a St. Augustine lawn underneath pine and oak shade trees?
    A

    Although atrazine generally is safe to apply to St. Augustine grass, we would not recommend using a product with that active ingredient under shade trees. Most Atrazine product labels advise: "Do not use over rooting area of trees, ornamentals, vegetables or other desirable plants other than the indicated turfgrasses."  We would recommend spot-treating with a Roundup-type product, such as Roundup QuikPro, in this type of area.

    Q
    Grass, weed, woody vine herbicide
    I am looking for a product that would kill weeds, grass, and woody vines in a 20 year old wooded lot without "poisoning" the soil and potentially harming the trees.
    A
    RoundUp QuickPro is your best option because it contains diquat to kill the brushy weeds and vines on the forest floor.  It will only kill what it is applied to so you should only apply it to what you want to kill.  It may take multiple applications and Quickpro will usually only last in the soil for about two weeks after it has been applied.

  • Asked by J
    12/03/2016
    Q
    Why is it necessary to wait 2 weeks after spraying Roundup QuikPro before planting new ornamentals?
    Does Diquat stay active in soil longer? My understanding is glyphosate doesn't stay active.
    A

    Glyphosate products like Roundup QuikPRO - 5 x 1.5 oz. packs can have a chemical residual in the soil of up to 2 weeks so it is recommended to wait that time before planting in the treated area.

    Q
    Is there a non-selective herbicide that will control bamboo?

    You can use Round Up QuickPro at the highest listed usage rate to help eliminate bamboo. You will be required to cut the bamboo down to a short stump and then apply the Round Up QuickPro. It can take several applications to achieve the desired results.
