    Q
    Does freezing harm concentrated Sedgehammer?
    My Sedgehammer order arrived while I was away. Consequently it was exposed to freezing temperatures for a few days. Is it harmed?
    A
    SedgeHammer Herbicide has a shelf life of about 3 years if kept out of extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.  Nothing below freezing or above 90.  Typically it is best kept in a cool dry place inside.

    Q
    Okay to apply in PA in February with possibly some freezing nights still ahead?
    We've had a warm winter in Pennsylvania and the sedge has popped up in mid-February and is actively growing. It's been in the 40s and 50s, but the night temperatures are around freezing many nights. Can I apply it now or is that a waste? Should I wait until at least it isn't freezing at night?
    A
    Temperatures can have an effect on the SedgeHammer Herbicide. As long as the nutsedge is actively growing it can be applied, however, the colder temperatures can prohibit growth of weeds as well, but you should still get some use out of the product as long as it is applied while soil (not air) temperatures are a minimum of 65 degrees or higher consistently for a week or more. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.

    Q
    What can I use to control and kill Nutsedge and creeping signal grass on St Augustine grass?
    Miami Fl area
    A

    For nutsedge control it is best treated using something like Sedgehammer Herbicide which is specifically designed for it and is also for some other broadleaf weeds.  For signal grass is it best treated with a pre-emergent like Prodiamine 65 WDG but complete control is not always possible with this weed as it is a very difficult weed to control.  You could also spot treat with a glyphosate based product like GlyPhoSel Pro and then reseed/so the area.  The University of Florida has some information here about.

  • Asked by Kevin from Montville, Oh

    Q
    Can I spray SedgeHammer Herbicide on my hayfield with timothy planted in it, and will it effect the hay feeding?
    Also how much does the largest bottle make when mixed?
    A

    SedgeHammer Herbicide should not be used on pastures or grazing areas, and you should not treat around hay that will be used for animal feed. The SedgeHammer should not affect Timothy grass that may be contacted by the herbicide, although the product label does not specify information about this plant, so we would recommend spot treating a small area first before applying over a large area with this plant. The 1.33 oz bottle of SedgeHammer will yield about 40 gallons of finished solution. You should add 2 teaspoons of a non-ionic surfactant per gallon of water when diluting SedgeHammer from the larger bottle. The smaller packets already have a surfactant mixed in with the product.
