Snapshot 2.5 TG cannot be used on lawns. 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.
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.
We would recommend to wait several weeks to move the day lily after Snapshot application. Please be cautious because the flowers will be stressed from transplanting.
Snapshot 2.5 TG should not be applied to areas with edible vegetation.
No, Snapshot 2.5 TG is not labeled for use in marshes. We would recommend using Rodeo Herbicide. It is safe for use in bodies of water and will eliminate cattails. 2.5 Gallons will cover up to 5 acres. The mixing ratio is 2 and 2/3 fluid oz. Rodeo per gallon of water. Be sure to use a surfactant for harder to kill weeds. These products can be mixed together and applied directly to the weeds.
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.
You must wait at least 60 days between Snapshot 2.5 TG applications. You cannot apply more than 600 lbs per acre per year.
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.
Snapshot 2.5 TG - 50 lbs. cannot be applied to edible vegetation including citrus trees. If already applied, do not consume the fruit.
Snapshot 2.5 TG is labeled to be used only around non bearing fruit trees.
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.
Snapshot 2.5 TG - 50 lbs. can be used right after planting. You just would not be able to seed in the treated areas.
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.
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.
Yes, you could apply Snapshot more than once during the year in accordance with the product label. Fall applications will help control winter weeds such as poa annua. Repeat applications at 150 lb per Acre and higher should not be made sooner than 60 days after a previous application of Snapshot 2.5 TG. Do not apply over 600 lb per Acre total of Snapshot 2.5 TG within a 12-month period. Be sure to follow label precautions in areas where you may intend to transplant or grow other plants in the future.
Snapshot 2.5 TG is not labeled to be used in any turf grasses. It is meant to be used in landscape beds and around trees. Please provide the targeted weeds for an alternate recommendation. Thank you!
Snapshot is a post-emergent herbicide only, so it is not made to kill any existing plants. Geranium cinereum (ballerina) is listed as intolerant of over-the-top Snapshot applications, while the common weed Carolina geranium is prevented from germinating by using Snapshot. Geranium incarnum and Geranium subcaulescens are listed as tolerant plants of Snapshot. Since the exact species you mention is not listed as either tolerant or intolerant, we would recommend testing over a small area before treating around a large area of this groundcover, or selecting a different product for your needs.
If you would like to tell us more specifically which plants you are wanting to kill/prevent and which are the desirable plants, then we can better assist you.
