Q

Amount of Surflan AS per Gallon in Tank Sprayer
In the Label I do not see a recommendation for Tank Sprayer mixing. For non-crop land application, it recommends 4.5 oz/1000sq ft. Do you have any idea about the conversion for a 1 gallon tank sprayer?

A

The amount of water used to apply Surflan AS herbicide is not critical, but should be sufficient for uniform coverage of the target area. You can follow these steps from page 2 of the product label to calibrate how much water you will need. Steps in Calibration: 1. Mark an area of 1,000…

The amount of water used to apply Surflan AS herbicide is not critical, but should be sufficient for uniform coverage of the target area. You can follow these steps from page 2 of the product label to calibrate how much water you will need. Steps in Calibration: 1. Mark an area of 1,000 square feet (i.e. 20 by 50 feet, or 25 by 40 feet). 2. Place the sprayer on a level surface and add water noting the final level of water in the spray tank. 3. Spray the marked area with a sufficient volume of water to provide uniform coverage. Refill the sprayer to the same level as before measuring the amount of water added. The measured water added to the sprayer is the volume needed to cover 1,000 square feet. 4. Determine the application rate (fl oz/1000 sq ft) for Sur flan AS from the “Approved Uses” section of this label. 5. To each volume of water used, as measured in step 3, add the amount of Surflan AS as determined in step 4. Example: If the sprayer used 2 gallons of water to cover 1,000 square feet and the desired application rate of Surflan AS is 3 fluid oz/1,000 square feet, then you would add 3 fluid ounces of Surflan AS to every 2 gallons of water to be used.

You could damage the turf grass using this product. We recommend Image 70 DG to treat sandbur. Also, to prevent them for next year, you should apply Barricade as a pre-emergent in the late fall.

Q

Do you recommend Surflan AS Herbicide as a pre-emergent for foxtail barley in my pasture grass?

Most pre-emergents should be applied in both the Fall and early Spring. It varies depending on where you live and climates where you live. We recommend contacting your local county extension office as they should have the most accurate information on how and when to treat weeds and insects in your local area, as well as the best advice on what to use in a grazing pasture.

We do not see why you could not Surflan AS and Roundup. However, each chemical has different molecular makeups that may counter act each other. Please contact the manufacturers Monsanto for Round up 800-332-3111 and Agrisel for Surflan AS 877-247-4735.

Surflan AS is not labeled to be applied in any type of edible garden. We do not carry any pre-emergents labeled to be used in vegetables garden. The main product used for weeds in a vegetable garden is a Roundup type product, like our RoundUp QuickPro product. Roundup Professional products do not leave a residual that could possibly be soaked up by the roots of your garden. Of course you do not want to get the RoundUp product on any plants you want to keep. You should only direct it at the weeds you want to get rid of.
