    Q
    Will speed zone be effective against common yarrow?
    I have patches of yarrow in my lawn that are quite pesky. Will speedzone be effective? Any recommendations for how to apply it for yarrow?
    A
    SpeedZone Southern Herbicide is labeled to eradicate yarrow. The rate you will use will depend on your grass type. For a cool-season lawn, you will mix 1.5 to 2.2 fl. oz to 1 gallon of water per 1000 sq ft. For a warm-season lawn, you will mix 0.75 to 1.5 fl. oz to 1 gallon of water per 1000 sq ft.

    Q
    Does SpeedZone Southern Herbicide require a surfactant?
    A

    Per the label instructions for SpeedZone Southern Herbicide, it is not necessary to add any type of adjuvant to SpeedZone Southern as it is already designed for rapid penetration and uptake.  All adjuvants including surfactants, spreader stickers, detergents etc. will change the physical and biological properties of this product, which are often antagonistic, and show no significant influence on efficacy. SpeedZone Southern Herbicide is a post emergent which will kill the weeds that have emerged, it will not prevent weeds from growing.

    Q
    If newly laid sod turns brown from SpeedZone Southern spray, will the sod live or should I replace it?
    A

    SpeedZone Southern Herbicide should not be applied to newly laid sod until it has been mowed at least twice or has been 30 days since installed as it can inhibit the growth and establishment if applied too soon.  Only time will tell if the sod will survive or should be replaced.

    Q
    Can SpeedZone Southern Herbicide be tank mixed with Image Herbicide to kill crabgrass?
    A

    Tank mixing is not recommended unless your experience indicates that the tank mxture will not result in turf injury. When tank mixing certain herbicides with other selective herbicides, surfactants, etc, this can reduce the selectivity of the herbicide resulting in injurying or killing the grass. We recommend doing a small compatibility test in a glass jar to ensure the two herbicides mix properly and then do a small test application in the lawn to determine sensitivity. Do not broadcast over the lawn without doing a test application first.

    Q
    Can you add a pre-emergent to SpeedZone Southern Herbicide?
    And Sedgehammer for nutsedge?
    A

    You can mix and apply other herbicides with SpeedZone Southern Herbicide as long as you first perform a small jar test for compatability. You also need to be sure to follow the most restrictive label when mixing products, and be sure that you are using the correct rates for each product. Keep in mind, also, that pre-emergent herbicides will need to be watered in with rainfall or irrigation within the amount of time specified on the label, while a post-emergent like the SpeedZone Southern should have at least 24 hours without rainfall or irrigation for best results.

    Please note that Speedzone Southern has been discontinued and replaced with Speedzone Southern Herbicide EW.

  • Asked by Karl from Los Angeles
    08/17/2018
    Q
    Does SpeedZone Southern Herbicide work on dallisgrass (Paspalum dilatatum)?
    A

    SpeedZone Southern is not labeled to treat dallisgrass.  Dismiss NXT Herbicide is labeled to suppress dallisgrass, meaning that you will need multiple applications and/or other cultural or chemical treatments to completely eradicate the weed. Dallisgrass is a weed that is notoriously difficult to eradicate quickly once it is established. We would also recommend you use Dimension 2EW as a pre-emergent for dallisgrass.

    Apply Dismiss NXT Herbicide at the rate of 0.117 to 0.350 fl oz./1,000 sq. ft. in however much water it takes you to cover the area.  You may need to retreat 4 weeks after the first treatment

    SpeedZone Southern Herbicide treated areas are safe to walk on once dry.  A few hours after application should have been enough time for this to happen.  Just be sure no areas are wet before allowing contact.
