Snapshot 2.5 TG is applied at a rate of 2.3 to 4.6 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. Please see the product label for complete application instructions
Snapshot 2.5 TG - 50 lbs. does not list Nassella trichotoma as tolerant to an application. This does not appear to be something common to the US so the manufacturer does appear to have tested Snapshot around it.
You should not apply Snapshot 2.5 TG where you are going to put in new plants for at least one year, per the product label. You can apply around new transplants once the soil is settled by packing and irrigation or rainfall.
Snapshot 2.5 TG is safe when used according to the product label. Ideally you would want to apply on a day with no wind to minimize excess drift of the product into non target areas.

Snapshot 2.5 TG is not labeled to prevent wild onion and there is no pre-emergent that will. Wild Onion can be dug out to remove the bulbs for best non chemical results. You are just limited on what you can spray in areas with desirable plants and must spot treat directly with non selective herbicides.
Snapshot 2.5 TG Herbicide would not stop English Ivy from emerging. The best way to keep that species from coming back is with consistent efforts spot treating any new green plant tissue as soon as you see it emerging from the soil, and hand remove or rake out as much of the root system as you can. Pre emergents will not stop woody vine type plants from coming back.
Snapshot Herbicide is not for use around any edibles (especially herbs) or where you plan to plant edibles. If Snapshot has been used around herbs or other vegetables, you would need to discard of the plant/fruit and would need to wait a full year before you could harvest crops from an area treated with it or plant again in the area.
