    Q
    I know adding surfactant to SpeedZone will lower selectivity and damage the lawn but will it kill it?
    I know that adding a surfactant or MSO to speed zone will lower its selectivity and potentially damage turf. What kind of damage though? Will it be permanent and kill the turf or will it just temporarily damage it and stunt it? I think as long as it doesn't kill it the added surfactant might be beneficial if there are severe weed problems.
    A

    SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate already contains a small percentage of surfactant so you do not add another one.  It could cause permanant damage to the lawn or it may only be temporary, it really depends on the rate you use and if your lawn is under any type of stress such as drought or heat.

    Q
    Is it acceptable to mix 0.5 oz of SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate in 1 gal for 500 sq. ft.?
    I usually mix 1 gallon of water into my sprayer with additives per 500 sq ft for a good even coverage. Will this dilution ratio of 0.5 oz in 1 gal water affect the effectiveness?
    A

    Yes, you can use 0.5 oz of SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate in a gallon of water to treat 500 square feet. Water is just the carrier, the important part of a weed killer application is using the right amount of product per a specific area.

    Q
    Can I mix SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate with Tenacity in tank mix?
    A

    We would not recommend tank mixing the SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate and Tenacity if you are using as a post emergent, only if you are applying as a pre-emergent application. With Tenacity you are only spot treating weeds directly that are actively growing, you would not broadcast as you can with the Speedzone.  Also you are required to use a surfactant with Tenacity for post emergent applications and EW does not require.  You can use Speedzone Speedzone the same day as Tenacity Herbicide for more broadleaf weed control.  Just allow areas to dry between treatments.

    Q
    Will SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate kill bittercress? How long is the mixed solution good for? A day or two?
    A

    SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate is not labeled to kill or control bittercress. You also do not want to keep it for more than 24 hours once it has been mixed. This is because the mixture will no longer be in suspension and would have lost its potency and efficacy.

    Q
    It rained 12 hours after applying SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate. Do I need to reapply?
    A

    Per the label, if you water your lawn or if it rains within 4 hours of an application of SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate it will reduce the effectiveness of the product. We usually recommend a window of 24 hours but after 12 hours if the area dried, it is still good and there's no need for you to apply again.
