    Q
    Can I apply Snapshot 2.5 TG over the top of Buffalo Grass?
    Customer has 7-8 year old buffalo grass lawn, very intermittent and patchy. They get many weeds in between patches of Buffalo Grass. Could we hold back the weeds with snapshot or do we risk damaging the buffalo grass?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG is not labeled to be used in lawns so would not be recommended over buffalograss.  It is for use only in landscape ornamentals, ground covers, perennials, non-bearing fruit and nut trees, container grown ornamentals, non-bearing vineyards, field-grown ornamentals and non-cropland.  For lawns you can use something like Pendulum.

    06/14/2019
    Q
    Can Snapshot TG hurt your skin if there is a slight wind when applying?
    A

    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. If you are wearing the proper PPE (personal protective equipment) as listed on the Product Label- long sleeve shirt, long pants, shoes plus socks- then there should be minimal chance of the product contacting your skin. If some does blow and touch your skin, just rinse and wash it with soapy water.

    Q
    Is Snapshot 2.5 TG safe to use under a mature blue oak?
    Also, I don't recall that landscapers watered after spreading pre-emergent on Aug. 22, 2019.

    Can Snapshot 2.5 TG be used for planting bare root blueberry plants?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG cannot be used in areas where edibles are planted, or in areas that are being prepared for edibles to be planted.  Casoron 4G is labeled for use around blueberries.  It should be applied in the fall, once soil temperatures have dropped below 70 degrees and in the spring before soil temperatures have reached 50-55 degrees.  The label states it should not be applied to blueberries until 4 weeks after transplanting.

    Q
    Is it safe to apply Snapshot to a new unplanted landscape bed prior to planting new perennials/shrubs/annuals?
    The bed is new and I am wanting to apply a preemergent before planting. Do you have any suggestions how to safely do this in a new landscape bed?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG would be best applied after you have planted so that the soil is not disturbed and the barrier removed while you are planting.  . Apply Snapshot 2.5 TG anytime prior to germination of target weeds, or immediately after cultivatition

    Q
    I have a wildflower garden primarily of zinnias and cosmos. Will Snapshot prevent germination of those seeds?
    A

     

    Since Snapshot 2.5 TG is a pre-emergent, meaning that it prevents seeds from germinating, you should not plant any seeds you want to grow and germinate for at least 1 year after applying per the product label.

    Q
    Will snapshot still work after 9
    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.

    Q
    Crabgrass control in ground cover
    Hi, I contacted you last year about several issues in my ground cover juniper bushes. You suggested Snapshot and that helped alot. My problem is I also have crabgrass in this ground cover and while it controlled most weeds, it didn't help at all with crabgrass. Is there another product you can recommend that I can use in addition to the Snapshot that would be better for the crabgrass? I don't want to kill the ground cover just control weeds and crabgrass. What is the best month to apply the pre-emergent for east Tennessee? I think last year I spread it at the end of March.
    A

    Fusilade is a good option to use for crabgrass and other grassy weeds in juniper as directed on the product label.  As far as timing for a pre-emergent like Snapshot, it should be applied before soil temperatures reach 55 degrees.  If the Snapshot did not prevent the crabgrass it sounds like it was applied too late.  You may also contact your local cooperative extension office to determine the correct timing of the application as this will vary greatly from region to region.

    Q
    what happens if I put Snapshot over my tomato plants?
    Would it harm the plants or make the fruit harmful for consumption?
    A
    Snapshot Herbicide is not for use around any edibles or where you plan to plant edibles. If Snapshot has been used around tomatoes 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. Monterey Vegetable & Ornamental Weeder can be used on tomatoes being transplanted into the ground only and cannot be used if grown from seed. If you prefer a granule Hi Yield Herbicide Granules can be applied prior to transplanting of tomatoes as well.

    Q
    I just planted tulips to come up in the spring. Can I use Snapshot in this bed now for stopping weed in spring?
    The bulbs have been planted in late October and we have had several frost . Should I wait until spring to apply right before bulbs come up ? Thanks for any help.
    A

    Per the Snapshot 2.5 TG label, you can apply Snapshot to fall planted bulbs for winter weeds. In the spring you will need to make another application for late spring/summer growing weeds.

    Ornamental Bulbs Do not use Snapshot 2.5 TG in bulb production flelds. For use in landscape settings only.Snapshot 2.5 TG may be applied for control of susceptible annual weeds in ornamental bulbs, e.g., bulbous iris, daffodil (narcissus), hyacinth and tulip. Apply Snapshot 2.5 TG to the soil surface 2 to 4 weeks after planting, but prior to the emergence of annual weeds. Snapshot 2.5 TG may also be applied following bulb emergence but prior to fiowering and after fiowering. For fall planted bulbs, apply Snapshot 2.5 TG again in late winter or early spring to weed-free soil surfaces.

    Q
    Does Snapshot or Freehand prevent bulbs from growing?
    Curious if I spread freehand or snapshot on a flow bed with different bulbs if it will prevent them from growing?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG may be applied following bulb emergence but should not be applied to bulbs while they are flowering per the manufacturer. Please refer to the product label for specific application instructions for this area.

    As we do not offer Freehand on our site you would just need to refer to the product label for instructions on this product.
