    Q
    How much effect will dew have on Surge if it is before the 6 hr rain-safe point?
    I applied the product in the early evening and then the grass began getting dew on it about 3 hours later.
    A

    It is best to apply Surge Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf when the weeds are no too wet from any rain or dew so that the product can be applied to the leaves and not drip off easily from being wet already.  You should apply when rain is not expected within 24 hours after application as well.

  • Asked by Haris from Mcdonough, Ga
    03/20/2016
    Q
    How do I make an application with Surge Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf with an Ortho Dial-N-Spray?
    Is there any way to use the Ortho Dial N Spray end of hose sprayer with this product? It has measurements of tsp per gallon all the way up to oz per gallon, what would I set it to and how much would I fill up for a 4,000 sqft yard and what would I set the dial to? I ask because I've tried using a hand pump sprayer and it's a very tedious operation!!! Thanks Haris
    A

    The rate for Surge Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf is going to vary depending on the type of grass that you are applying the product to as directed on the product label. For example, for applying to warm season grass you would use 1.1 to 1.2 fl oz per 1000 sq ft and apply that in 0.23 to 5 gallons per 1000 sq ft when broadcasting or spot treating. That is the application rate that is recommended, regardless if you are using a pump sprayer or a hose end sprayer. When using you hose-end sprayer, you want to make sure that the settings are correct for the amount of product you are using per 1000 sq. ft.  We do not actually carry the Ortho brand so are unable to provide the exact setting.
