  • Asked by Michael from Lakeland,tn
    07/07/2014
    Q
    How much do you mix per gallon for use in a tank sprayer?
    I read the label on how much to use on an acre, but for those of us with tank sprayers I would prefer to know an amount of product per gallon of water.
    A
    As with most herbicides the exact volume of water is not very important, you just need to be sure you are getting the correct amount of product on a specific area. Specticle FLO may be applied at different rates depending on the turf you are spraying on and the weeds you are trying to control. If you are using the highest rate of 10oz per acre, it breaks down to roughly 0.23 oz of Specticle per 1000 sq/ft in no less than 1-2 gallons of water for full and even application. The thing you have to keep in mind is that the water is the carrier with herbicides, not the diluter. So whether you mix the .23oz of Specticle in 1 gallon and spread it over 1000 sq/ft, or in 5 gallons over a 1000 sq/ft, both are correct. For maximum weed control with broadcast applications, add non-ionic surfactant.

  • Asked by Ramon from Winter Park, Fl
    11/27/2016
    Q
    What is the difference among these herbicides: Specticle G Herbicide, Specticle FLO, and Specticle 20 WSP Pre-Emergent ?
    I'm looking for a long lasting herbicide. If it is a pre and post emergent product will be great, no matter the price
    A

    Specticle G Herbicide, Specticle FLO, and Specticle 20 WSP are all different versions of the same active ingredient, Indaziflam, and would be comparable.  G is for granules, FLO is a liquid and WSP is water soluble packets. The WSP form is no longer available.  Either the G or FLO would be good options to use but will only prevent weeds from emerging and will not affect actively growing weeds.

  • Asked by Kurt from Huntsville, Al
    08/20/2014
    Q
    What is the timing of applying Specticle FLO?
    If I apply in Fall, it tells to follow up with another treatment 45-90 days later. If you do that, will there be a need to re-apply a pre emergent in the spring?
    A
    The need for a spring application of a pre-emergent is almost always needed, but it truly is going to be dependent on the weeds you are primarily looking to prevent and when they germinate the most in your area. You can often consult with your local cooperative extension office or local master gardner to find out when the weeds you are looking to target germinate in your area for a better idea of application intervals that will best suit your needs for thorough application and results.

  • Asked by Chris from Kaufman,tx
    02/20/2018
    Q
    How long will Spectical Flo last in a 200 gallon tank after its mixed?
    A

    You should use your Specticle Flo within 24 hours of mixing it in the tank.   Per their label: Mix the amount of Specticle FLO needed for immediate application needs. Settling can occur if the spray mixture is allowed to sit over an extended period of time. Re-agitate the spray solution before application.

  • Asked by Antolin from South Carolina
    10/02/2022
    Q
    Can Specticle FLO be used on Centipede and Carpetgrass lawn?
    A

    Specticle FLO is only labeled for use on Warm Season Turfgrasses only such as Bermudagrass, Zoysiagrass, Centipedegrass, St. Augustine, Buffalo, and Bahiagrass. The product label does not list Carpetgrass as a tolerant turf type therefore we would not recommend using on Carrpetgrass or without doing a small test application to see if your lawn would be tolerant. You can also contact the manufacturer, Bayer for confirmation at 1-800-331-2867.

    Q
    Is it safe to blanket Specticle FLO spray on Zoysia?
    A

    Per the product label for Specticle FLO, the following types of Zoysia are listed as tolerant, -Cavalier, Crowne, DeAnza, El Toro, Empire, GNZ, Jamar, Meyer, Palisades, Zenith, Zeon - with the label stating, "Before making a large scale application to a cultivar not listed on this label, treat a small area of turf with SPECTICLE FLO to assess acceptable turf tolerance".

  • Asked by Terry from Houston,tx
    09/25/2019
    Q
    What will neutralize Specticle FLO?
    Just got spectacle on about a 2 ft strip of green, looking to prevent damage.
    A

    If you applied an herbicide like Specticle FLO on an area that is not tolerant of the herbicide, then you will want to water the area very well and avoid other stress on those plants. If you have activated charcoal on hand, then you can use that immediately after application to help neutralize the herbicide, although this usually has to be done very quickly to have any effect. If the non-target plants are stressed but may recover, you may be able to use Renova to help them recover.

    Does Specticle FLO kill Bermuda grass greens?

    Q
    Mix Roundup in conjunction with Specticle-Flo
    I see where you can mix with insecticide, but can you use with another herbicide for even quicker kill. And should this be mixed first before the spectacle?
    A

    Specticle FLO should be able to be mixed with Roundup. We advise you conduct a small jar test to make sure they mix well together and follow the most restrictive label for both products.

  • Asked by Mark from Lancaster
    01/26/2022
    Q
    How long before Specticle FLO can be applied to newly installed Tif Turf Bermuda Sod?
    The maker says to wait a year for all pre emergent apps so the roots can take hold. I didn't wait a year before apply Dimension and other pre emergent. I'm wondering if Specticle has a time frame on when it can be applied to new sod.
    A

    The residual of the active ingredient Indaziflam in soil is longer than Dithopyr, the active ingredient in Dimension therefore applying before the recommended 16 months advised time frame could inhibit, slow or damage the growth of the bermuda sod. 

    Since we no longer carry Specticle FLO, we would recommend contacting Bayer directly at 1-866-99-BAYER for your special application question.
