Roundup QuikPRO can be applied and you will wait 14 days to til/replant in the area. Be sure to remove the top layer of treated soil prior to planting.
Roundup QuikPRO is available only in a concentrate. There are small packets which make 1 gallon of solution each.
The Roundup QuikPRO jug will make about 70 gallons of finished solution depending on your target weed for the dilution rate. Please refer to the product label for complete instructions.
Control of Brazilian pepper trees can be tricky, and which herbicide is best will depend on the time of year and method that you are using. Something like RoundUp QuikPro (glyphosate and diquat) will likely only work on seedlings, and may take several weeks to kill the young plants.
Crossbow Specialty Herbicide can be used for basal bark treatments in general. However, the product label does not specifically list Brazilian pepper tree as a plant that it controls.
This article from the Florida State Extension offers the most detailed recommendations for treating this invasive plant.
They recommend using Triclopyr Ester for basal bark treatments, which we carry in Hi-Yield Turflon Ester Ultra or Garlon 4 Herbicide in a pasture. Usually direct stump treatments offer the fastest control, however this is best done when the trees are not fruiting since seeds may be scattered and start new plants.
Roundup QuikPRO has a shelf life of 3-5 years if kept in a cool dry area. Once mixed you will need to spray it all out within 24 hours.
Roundup QuickPRO is not labeled for use in or near bodies of water, as it is extremely toxic to aquatic life. Instead, you may consider using Hi-Yield 2, 4 - D Selective Weed Killer or Roundup Custom Aquatic Terrestrial Herbicide, which selective post-emergent liquid concentrated herbicides that controls various broadleaf weeds and other noxious plants, and targets emerged aquatic weeds in ponds, lakes, and reservoirs and lists water lily as a target weed.
The 6.8 lb jug of Roundup QuikPRO will make roughly 70 finished solution gallons. Those 70 gallons should roughly cover 70,000 sq ft.
Roundup QuikPRO should be used within 24 hours of mixing, it should be discarded after this time.
When you mix one packet of Roundup QuickPRO in a gallon of water, it contains 73.3% glyphosate and 2.9% diquat.
RoundUp QuickPro does not leach into the soil so it will not be taken up into the root system. Be sure to spot treat on a day that is not quite windy. This way you minimize the risk of the RoundUp QuickPro landing on the fruit.
Keep people and pets off treated areas until Roundup QuikPRO has dried. This is typically about 4-6 hours.
Timing of Roundup QuikPRO can vary and may require additional applications or treatments for certain weeds. If applied to listed weeds as directed, it could take a up to 2 weeks for complete control.
After using Round Up QuickPro you should wait 14 days to plant your Junipers. Roundup QuickPro will only last in the soil for approximately 14 days.
Roundup QuikPRO is a non selective herbicide that will kill anything that is sprayed with it. Care should be taken to avoid contacting desirable plants while spot treating weeds.
Roundup QuikPRO is a water dispersable granule.
Roundup QuikPRO may be tank mixed with Sahara following the instructions on each product label and the more restrictive one. You do not need a surfactant as QuikPro already contains one.
Roundup QuikPRO needs to be mixed with water to use as directed on the product label. It is labeled for several types of thistle but does not specify musk thistle, though it can pretty much kill anything that is sprayed on.
Since poa annua and and fescue are so closely related, there are few products that will kill the poa annua without also harming the fescue. The only one we are currently aware of is called Prograss. Your other options would be to either spot-treat with a product like Roundup QuikPRO and then reseed with the fescue in those areas, or you can use a preemergent like Prodiamine 65 WDG in the fall to prevent the poa from growing in the first place.
