  • Asked by Zachary from Michigan
    07/17/2018
    Q
    How soon can I overseed an area that was treated with Tenacity if I will be using a blend of Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and rye?
    My target weed I am killing is bentgrass.
    A

    You can apply Tenacity herbicide on the day of seeding.  Once you have seeded you will need to wait until the grass is mature.  You can start applying a month before seeding so you can apply 2-3 applications before seeding.

    Q
    Will Tenacity Herbicide kill poa annua or annual blue grass?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide is not labeled to control Poa Annua/Annual Bluegrass as a post-emergent application. The label only states that it could cause injury to it if sprayed. It is only labeled to be used to suppress poa annua when used as a pre-emergent. Please provide your desired turf grass for an alternate recommendation. Thank you!

  • Asked by Rexlo from Hackensack, Nj
    08/09/2018
    Q
    Can I mix the Tenacity Herbiicide with Eagle 20EW Specialty Fungicide, Dismiss Turf Herbicide & Talstar P (Talstar One) for turf?
    A

    It is not recommended to mix certain insecticides, herbicides, or fungicides with Tenacity Herbicide.  You should wait to apply insecticides 7 days after treating with Tenacity Herbicide to avoid potential turf injury. Other ingredients in the fungicides or herbicides would be fine to use at the same time if there are no resttrictions on the product label.

  • Asked by Chuck from Indianapolis
    08/27/2018
    Q
    Can I speed up the three spraying intervals for Tenacity to 10 days instead of 2/3 weeks?
    Trying to get plenty of time for aeration and Fall seeding.
    A

    No, Tenacity Herbicide must be used per labeled instructions or it could cause damage to your lawn if used otherwise.  Applying Tenacity Herbicide more frequently than the label allows could cause unnecessary stress to your turf or worse, it could kill your desirable turf.

  • Asked by Vince from Downingtown Pa
    05/04/2019
    Q
    I have a smith contractor 2-gallon sprayer that I plan to use for applying Tenacity Herbicide at 1 tsp per 2 gallons. How do I know I am applying enough or too much? Is there a way to calibrate or is just spraying a blanket good enough?
    A

    We would suggest testing the flow rate and pace of walk using the 2-gallon sprayer with plain water to determine the best nozzle setting before treating with Tenacity Herbicide. You want to be sure you are walking at an even pace and evenly spraying the area for best results.

  • Asked by Charlotte from Germantown, Tn
    03/05/2016
    Q
    Will Tenacity Herbicide harm monkey or mondo grass?
    I have mondo grass as a ground cover with many weeds. What can I use to kill weeds and not the grass?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide is not labeled as safe for use around Mondo or Monkey Grass. Surflan has been used for pre-emergent control of broadleaf weeds in Mondo Grass and for post-emergent control, Sedgehammer is commonly used. Please refer to the product lable for instructions and applications rates.

    Surflan - Preemergence weed control when applied to established ornamental plants before weeds have emerged. This product performs better with incorporation after application with irrigation, rainfall or light tillage.

    Sedgehammer - Apply in landscaped areas with established woody ornamentals. Do not apply over-the-top of flowers, ornamentals, shrubs or trees.

    Q
    Any application restrictions for lawns in N.Y. State with Tenacity Herbicide??
    How early in the Spring can you can you spray in this climate? How damp or wet should you spray to insure proper coverage?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide is not restricted in the state of New York.  It can be applied when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit. This should be broadcast across the lawn in areas where you are wanting to prevent weeds. Be sure to water the product in 0.5 inches to activate it. This product can be applied right before it is going to rain. We normally recommend applying Tenacity in early to mid April in cool season areas.

    Please check out our Cool Season Lawn Guide for tips on how and when to use products in your lawn.

  • Asked by Frank from Cleveland, Oh
    07/03/2017
    Q
    Would it be helpful to apply a greater amount of non-ionic surfactant in the mix with Tenacity Herbicide ?
    The recommended mixture seems to be a ratio of 3 to 1. IS it possible or allowable to mix a greater ratio of the surfactant (say 5 to 1) in order to insure that more of the herbicide adheres to the creeping bent grass & various other weeds ?
    A

    According to the manufacturer, it is not advised to apply more than the recommended amount of the non-ionic surfactant. We advise you to use the ratio recommended on the product label.

    Q
    Can you mix Tenacity with Drive XLR8 ?
    A

    As long as both products do not contain the same active ingredient, and both have labels that allow tank mixing in general. Per the Drive label: The most restrictive labeling applies with any tank mix. To increase spectrum of control of broadleaf and other weeds, Drive XLR8 may be tank mixed with 2,4-D, Triclopyr, and other broadleaf herbicides. Make sure to do a tank mix test first for any clumping or discoloring before applying to the lawn. Also, be sure both products can be used on the treatment area safely.
