  • Asked by Jose from Henderson Nv

    Q
    Can I use Snapshot TG to soil before a installed sod?
    I have a backyard full of weeds and want to put sod but I want to kill the weeds before they grow with the new sod.
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG should not be applied to turf grasses. Snapshot 2.5 TG is meant to be used in landscape beds and around trees. We do carry pre-emergent herbicides and post-emergent herbicides for your lawn. Please let us know the type of turfgrass you have and what weeds you are targeting and we can help you select a product that will fit your needs.

    Q
    I made the mistake of using Snapshot on a freshly planted grass seed area.
    Will this kill the grass trying to grow?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG is not labeled to be used over grass/seeded areas.  It may prevent the grass seed from germinating in the area.  You may want to contact the manufacturer directly to see what (if anything) can be done.  You can reach Dow by calling 800-992-5994.

  • Asked by Steve from Bainbridge
    02/01/2018
    Q
    At what ground temperature can I apply Snapshot 2.5 TG?
    A

    You can apply Snapshot to established ornamentals as listed on the product label as long as the ground is not frozen and there is not snow on the ground. You want to apply pre-emergents before your target weed seeds germinate. Crabgrass seeds germinate when the soil temperature is around 55 degrees, but this threshold is higher for other weeds. You can also choose to do split applications in Spring as long as you do not reapply at the higher rate before 60 days, and you do not exceed the annual maximum rate of 600 lb per Acre, per the product label.

  • Asked by Forrest from Conyers, Ga
    02/02/2018
    Q
    Will applying Snapshot 2.5 TG in spring over a bed of dormant ferns prevent them from emerging?
    I have been using Snapshot on my "moss lawn" with excellent effect and no damage. I have several large areas of native ferns that have emerged in areas where I have cleared invasive plants. I would like to spread the pre-emergent before the weeds start to show up the spring but don't want to prevent the ferns from erupting. Does the reproductive biology of ferns allow them to reproduce (or whatever they do in the spring) if Snapshot has been applied to the soil beforehand?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG is labeled to be used safely on the following fern species:  Australian Tree Fern, Filicoides Fern, Cypress Fern, Tasmanian Tree Fern, Japanese Painted Fern, and Tassel Fern.

  • Asked by Bruce from Ogden, Utah
    02/03/2018
    Q
    Will Snapshot 2.5 TG prevent goat head (puncture weed) in a large area approximately 3000 sq ft?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG will prevent prostrate knotweed, which is sometimes called puncture, but not typical goathead/puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris). Depending on the type of grass or area you are treating, Surflan is a pre-emergent that is labeled to prevent goathead/puncturevine from germinating. Please let us know if you need assistance selecting a product for your needs.

  • Asked by Brian from Md
    03/02/2018
    Q
    Can Snapshot 2.5 TG be applied at the same time as Dimension to prevent more weeds in a very large liriope bed?
    A

    It does not need to be applied along with Dimension 2EW as they are both pre-emergent herbicides. Snapshot 2.5 TG is one of our most popular pre-emergent herbicides for use around ornamentals and ground covers, and several types of liriope are listed as tolerant on the product label. These plants would need to be established before applying the Snapshot or most other pre-emergent herbicides. A popular post-emergent for use around liriope is Fusilade II Herbicide, which will target grassy weeds. Always read the product label before purchasing and applying herbicides to ensure that it will fit your needs.

  • Asked by Joe from St. Charles, Illinois
    03/15/2018
    Q
    Can I use a Scott's Speedy Green broadcast spreader to apply Snapshot 2.5TG?
    If so what would be the setting?
    A

    We understand that it is tricky to know what setting to use on your spreader, but since there are so many available on the market, it is important to calibrate your own equipment based on your application and the product you are using. For Snapshot 2.5 TG, you will use 2.3 to 4.6 pounds of granules per 1,000 square feet. Please refer to the product label for the best rates for the area you are treating and the weeds you are targeting. Please see below for more details on how to calibrate your spreaders. Many folks will start at either the lowest setting or at 1 setting lower than the middle setting. We also have an excellent instructional video here.

    Almost all fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, etc have treatments in amounts of so much product per 1000 square feet.  So if you can figure out what your walking speed is then you know anytime you apply any product that calls for so much of it per 1000 square feet, you always set your spreader on this setting.  You can calibrate this by marking off a 1000 square foot (10 x 100) area and placing 4 ounces of any type of product of similar granule size, or of the Snapshot in the spreader.  Start with a low setting and start walking your marked off area at a normal pace.  You can adjust as you go and find the basic setting for you to apply the product over a 1000 square feet.

    Q
    How long will I have to wait to consume fruit after using snapshot 2.5
    I planted a few blueberry bushes and a pear tree where I used snapshot 2.5 last year.
    A

  • Asked by Rusty from Floyd Knobs, In
    03/23/2018
    Q
    How much rain will Snapshot take until it becomes ineffective?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG is a pre-emergent herbicide that needs to be activated with about 0.5 inches of rainfall or irrigation. If you are expecting extremely heavy rains, then it would be best to delay your application so that your barrier is not disturbed. Snapshot should be activated within 3 days of application for best results. Repeat applications at 150 lbs per Acre or higher should not be made sooner than 60 days, per the product label.

  • Asked by Mike
    04/25/2018
    Q
    What does the TG stand for in Snapshot 2.5 TG - 50 lbs.?
    A

    According to our Rep with Dow Agro, there is not any difference besides the package size and the coloring of the granule. The SnapShot 2.5 TG is a yellow color granule and comes in a 50lb bag. The Snapshot 2.5 DG is a brown color and comes in a 25lb bag. The application and active ingredients are both the same. They make the 2 different types due to some Turf Pros not wanting a yellow granule and prefer the brown granule.

    A

  • Asked by Yami from San Jose, Ca
    05/08/2018
    Q
    What happen if Snapshot is applied without water? Will it still be effective? Will it lose effectiveness if I water it the next day?
    A

    Snapshot should always be watered in (so that it can reach the soil level) to help stop the weeds from germinating. Please make sure the Snapshot is used at another time when you are ready to apply water. It will not lose it's effectiveness, but the prodcut works better when it is watered in.
