  • Asked by Rivk from Augusta County, Va
    03/12/2019
    Q
    Can I use Tenacity as a preemergent on crabgrass and nimblewill?
    A

    Tenacity is labeled as a pre and post emergent for crabgrass but only as a post emergent for nimblewill. The most effective product to control nimblewill pre-emergently has been removed from the market (MSMA). We have had a lot of folks report that Dimension does a pretty good job pre-emergently but since the product is not technically labeled for nimblewill we cannot legally recommend it for this use.

  • Asked by Dc from Greenwood, La
    06/28/2019
    Q
    What is the differance between all of these herbicides like Tenacity Herbicide and Round Up?
    A

    Roundup products contain glyphosate which is non selective so kills pretty much anything that it is applied to.  Selective herbicides like Tenacity Herbicide only kills those weeds that are listed on the product label and are generally safe for use on turfgrass.

    Q
    Does a long storage time reduce the efficiency of Tenacity?
    Tenacity worked wonderfully on my lawn when I first got it but I have stored it for approx. 3 years and the stored product does not seem to be working at all to kill weeds. I stirred it thoroughly before adding to water in sprayer. I used the recommended 1/2 tsp. per gal. of water.
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide if stored in a cool dry area will last up to 3 years. It sounds like you need to purchase fresh product. The mix rate you are using is correct.

  • Asked by Sylvia from Nashville, Tn
    09/29/2016
    Q
    How long after Tenacity application can I seed with an annual rye?
    I see instruction for perennial rye but not annual. I have decided to switch to Bermuda next year so a temporary rye lawn would be best for me this winter but I've already treated with Tenacity twice. How long until I can seed annual Rye? Or not at all?
    A

    When using Tenacity Herbicide there should be no issue with planting annual rye seed after using it. Per the product label you would want to apply either at seeding or close to it for the best performance.

    Q
    Can I use Tenacity in CT now?
    Here in Connecticut, can I apply Tenacity while the grass is still dormant and temps are in the 50's?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide can be used if weeds are actively growing for post emergent control as long as the soil temperature is 55 degrees Fahrenheit. This product can also be used for pre-emergent control right now once the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to water the product in at least 1/2 inch after a pre-emergent application to ensure the product gets down into the soil.

  • Asked by Charles from Metropolis, Il
    08/26/2017
    Q
    What do you mean "after a post emergent application" when referring to watering after using Tenacity Herbicide?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide can be used as a pre-emergent or a post-emergent. A post-emergent application on Tenacity Herbicide would be to kill weeds that are already there. The product does not need to be watered in after application. For a pre-emergent application, the product is used to prevent weeds from coming up. It is recommended that you water the product in 1/2 inch after application to get the product into the soil.
