    Q
    What is the rate per gallon of water for treating Doveweed with Surge Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf? It states 0.23 per 5 gallons a acre for spray. Is that 0.23 gallons per 5 gallons of water?
    A

    For Doveweed, Surge Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf is applied at 1 to 1.2 fl oz in water volumes of 0.23 to 5 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft. Generally, 1-2 gallons of water is sufficient to treat 1000 sq ft. 

    Water is only acting as the carrier to evenly distribute the herbicide over the area. The product label is saying that the minimum volume of water you would use is 32 fl oz of water to cover 1000 sq ft but you can use as much as 5 gallons of water if needed.

    Q
    Can Surge Broadleaf Herbicide be mixed with Tenacity to extend coverage to grassy weeds?
    A
    It would not be recommended to tank mix Surge Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf with Tenacity Herbicide.  Tenacity requires the use of a surfactant when using as a post emergent while Surge does not.

    Per the Surge product label,  Certain spray tank additives (adjuvants, wetting agents, surfactants), liquid fertilizers, and tank mixtures containing emulsifiable concentrates may reduce the selectivity on the turfgrass. Do not use adjuvants and spray additive tank mix combinations, unless your experience indicates that the tank mixture will not result in turf injury.

    Q
    Is the rate for Surge Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf .5 oz per 1000 ft2?
    Will this be effective at being applied to a tall fescue lawn at .5 oz per gallon per 1000 ft2? I applied it doing calculations incorrectly. I was supposed to use 1.5 oz per 20 gallons for a total of 30oz per 20 gallons but I only mixed 10oz per 20 gallons. So will this even do anything to clover or yellow nutsedge?
    A

    The rate for Tall Fescue with Surge Broadleaf Herbicide is 1.2-1.5 oz per 1000 sq ft. and the amount of water may vary. Water is just the carrier of the product so you can use about 1 gallon per 1000 sq ft but it is most important you distribute the correct amount of herbicide on that area. It will work for clover and yellow nutsedge.

    Q
    Whats the difference in Surge compared to Vessel
    A
    Both products in question are selective post-emergent herbicides, and both contain a similar active ingredient makeup.  Surge Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf makes the claim that it can show visible results within one to two days and weed control within 14 days, instead of 28.  We advise reading over both product labels (Vessel label / Surge label) to determine which product is more suitable for your treatment goals, including tolerance to your specific grass type, listed target weeds and application information.

  • Asked by Steve from Silver Lake, Oh
    04/29/2019
    Q
    Can Surge be used to effectively control lesser celandine?
    A

    Surge Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf  is not specifically labeled for lesser celadine.  Herbicides which contain the active ingredient glyphosate, such as Round Up, are effective in controlling (but not necessarily eradicating) lesser celandine. Applications should be made in late winter or early spring when leaves are visible, but prior to full flowering, and when temperatures are above 40°F. Glyphosate will impact other vegetation so try to target only the celandine. It may take 1-2 weeks before the full effects of the treatment are visible.
