    Q
    Which pre-emergent products do you recommend for over-the-top application of Liriope Muscart 'Big Blue' ?
    I have 500 recently planted bare root Liriope plants and 3500 established (one to four year old) Liriope plants. I also have a large number of Ajuga (Burgundy Glow I think) plants that have no spaces between the plants (except for multiple types of weeds!). Please recommend pre-emergent and post-emergent products that can be applied over these plants that will help minimize weeds without harming the Liriope and Ajuga. Thank you!!
    A

    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.

    Q
    Can you apply Snapshot twice, in Spring and Fall?
    I applied early this spring, it worked great but now the weeds are coming back Can I apply a second application at the end of July/ August
    A

    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.

    Q
    Will Snapshot work on hybrid cattails in a marsh?
    I have a small marsh on my property. It has a large amount of invasive cattails that are well established in the marsh. Can I use Snapshot to help control the cattails? If so, when should I apply? I live in Minnesota so winter is coming.
    A

    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.

    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.

  • Asked by Forrest from Conyers, Ga

    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 David from Phoenix, Az
    06/12/2014
    Q
    Must you water Snapshot in in ALL conditions?
    I live in a desert climate - Phoenix. Is the issue with watering in to keep it in place without blowing away... or is there some sort of negative chemical change that occurs due to sunlight? I ask because I have used the product for 2 1/2 years now, and one time I DID NOT water it in due to the large size of my yard and the fact that predicted rain did not happen. Didn't get rain for 2 months. 8 months later the yard is still weed free. It seems to have worked fine. Comments?
    A
    Pre-emergents including Snapshot should always be watered in (so that it can reach the soil level) to help stop the weeds from germinating. If they are not watered in or applied with water (using a water dispersible granule), they will treat weeds you are targeting.

    Q
    Can this Snapshot 2.5 TG be applied to a fescue lawn and to mondo grass as a pre emergent?
    I get a ground cover lacy weed in my lawn that I can't get rid of.
    A

    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. There are many different types of weeds in your area that would fit this description.  We would most likely need an identification before recommending a product so that we can get the one that best fits your needs.
