    Q
    Can you use Surflan Pro Herbicide after the vegetable garden has been completely cleared of edible items? AZ
    I have had a tremendous weed problem with my back yard. I spend most of the summer just getting the yard in some normalcy. I've tried everything in the book. Currently I'm spraying CLEAR which seems to work better than anything I've tried before but the problem still exists. I'm hoping for a solution. Thank you MB Greenway

    Can I combine Surflan and 2-4,D in my sprayer?
    Despite our weather being freezing overnight and barely up to 40 during the day I already have some weeds growing on my 6 acres of former farmland. I need to spray Surflan before it all sprouts int he next few weeks but can I add 2 4D as well to kill the current growers? We have over 100 trees mainly live oak, red oak, pine, pecan and pear trees. What do you recommend?
    A

    Surflan Pro Herbicide can be tank mixed if you follow directions completely from the product label. We do not recommend using Surflan Pro Herbicide on edibles even if the fruits and/or vegetables have been cleared. It is only labeled for non-bearing fruit and nut trees.

    Q
    What is mixing rate for Surflan Pro?
    A
    You will need to use 3 fl oz of Surflan Pro per 1-2 gallons of water for 1,000 sq ft. The water in this case is just a carrier and you need to use enough water to make sure you get even coverage and to make sure you are getting the correct amount of product over the 1,000 sq ft area. There are directions on page 7 of the Surflan Pro product label that explains how to properly calibrate your sprayer.

    Q
    What is the best pre-emergent for weed control on a crushed granite yard?
    I live in the Phoenix, AZ area and my yard is crushed granite with a some trees, bushes and cacti, which I don't want to harm. I'm assuming a liquid application would be the best -- is that correct?
    A
    Surflan Pro is often the pre-emergent product of choice for this type of landscape. You will need about 3 fl oz of Surflan per 1,000 sq ft area. Be sure you review the product label to make sure your desirable plants are listed as being tolerant to the product.

    Q
    Is Surflan Pro Herbicide the brand name product or generic version?
    In the product reviews, one person stated: Works as advertised and much cheaper than the original - So will I be getting the brand name or a generic version of Surflan when I purchase
    A

    We sell both the name brand Surflan AS Herbicide made by United Phosphorous, Inc. and a generic - or post-patent - version made by Agrisel.  You can browse all the products we sell that contain the active ingredient Oryzalin here. The formulation from Agrisel does come in several sizes for convenience, while many name-brand professional herbicides will only come in larger sizes, such as 2.5 Gallons.

    Q
    What happens when you apply Surflan Pro Herbicide to cold season turf?
    This product is used for warm season turf but what happens if I used it in Pennsylvania to cold season turf? Less effective but still works?
    A

    Surflan Pro Herbicide will harm cool season turf per the label; it could potentially damage these grasses or prevent them from growing.

    We would recommend using Prodiamine 65 WDG. It is a very good pre-emergent product that is safe for use on all established turf types. Also, please check out our Cool Season Lawn Schedule for information on when to use products.

    Q
    Can Surflan be used on lawns in central Illinois? - Cool season grasses such as Kentucky Bluegrass?
    A
    Surflan Pro is specifically formulated for warm season grasses and is not labeled for use on Kentucky Bluegrass. We do carry several products that are labeled for use on Kentucky Bluegrass such as Dimension 2EW, Gallery 75 DF and Tupersan 50 WP. When selecting a product we recommend that you read product label (product labels are available on each individual product page under the picture of the product) to be sure that Kentucky Bluegrass is listed as a tolerant grass species. You also want to verify that the weed(s) you are trying to eliminate are listed on the label. Last, be sure to note whether the product is a pre-emergent or a post-emergent/selective herbicide (this will be listed on the individual product page in the product description box and also on the product label).
