    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 Rod from La Habra Ca

    Q
    If I only used 1 tsp of Tenacity Herbicide per gallon of water and not in 2 gallons of water, should I repeat application or go ahead and reseed the area?
    I purchased a bottle of tenacity from you a few months back. I recently treated areas of tall fescue that have turned ghost white (whitening was expected) a week + later I realized I messed up and mixed only 1 gallon per tsp/1000 sq feet + nis . The label calls for 2 gallons of water per tsp. Please let me know if you have any feedback of whether I should wait it out or prepare to reseed the affected areas? Thanks
    A

    Since Tenacity is an effective herbicide for weed control prior to or during seeding of certain turfgrasses during turf renovation and the water is only acting as the carrier for the solution to get into the weeds, you should be ok to reseed if you are happy with the results. For post emergent applications, you will need to wait for the turf to be established after 2 mowings to reapply.

  • Asked by Mike from Harleysville, Pa
    05/07/2017
    Q
    How many ounces of Tenacity Herbicide should I put in a 26 gallon boom sprayer?
    How many ounces of tenacity and surfactant are needed in a 26 gallon boom sprayer for general lawn/grass weed maintenance? Ive read for tenacity, 1 teaspoon per 2 gallons of water but also 4-8 oz per acre in at least 30 gallons of water. How much surfactant should be included?
    A

    When using Tenacity Herbicide, the amount of water is not what is important; the right amount of product is. The rate for 1000 square feet is 1 teaspoon. The will mix in 1-2 gallons of water. Please let me know how much area you are treating to give you the best rate.

    The rate of the surfactant is 1-2 teaspoons per gallon of water. For 26 gallons of water, the rate of surfactant is 26-52 fl oz.

  • Asked by Domenic from North Royalton, Oh

    Q
    What is the ratio of Tenacity for established Kentucky blue and ryegrass lawn?
    I have a well established lawn comprised of mostly ryegrass and Kentucky blue that is slowly succumbing to spreading bent grass. I am struggling to confirm ratio of Tenactiy to surfactant to water for proper post emergent application. Can you please provide a ratio based on tank mixing 30 gallons at a time?
    A

    The amount of Tenacity Herbicide that is used is based on the amount of area you are treating. With herbicides, the amount of water is not as important as the amount of water that is being used. The rate we would recommend using is 5 fl oz to cover an acre. This can be mixed in 25-30 gallons of water to cover an acre.

  • Asked by Annette
    07/03/2017
    Q
    What can you put in the mixture of Tenacity Herbicide to turn the plant color until it dies?
    A

    We are not aware of anything that can be added to Tenacity Herbicide to cause the plant color to change as it dies and it already causes a color change itself.  Per the product label: Foliage of treated weeds cease growth after application, then turn white (loss of chlorophyll) and death may take up to three weeks. A repeat application is required after two to three weeks for improved postemergence weed control. A non-ionic surfactant should be added in postemergence applications

  • 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.

  • Asked by Jess from Greenwood, In
    09/26/2017
    Q
    Do I need to wait for the last application to reseed after using Tenacity Herbicide?
    I am applying my first round of tenacity and plan on reseeding. I anticipate I will need a re-application in 2-3wks per bottle instructions. Do I need to wait until my finial application to reseed as the label says to wait two mows or 4wks before applying to newly germinated seeds?
    A

    Per the label of Tenacity Herbicide, this product can be applied at the same time of seed, except fine fescue. It is recommended that you mow at least two days before and/or two days after.

  • Asked by Sue from Lakeway, Texas
    03/01/2018
    Q
    Can Tenacity be used on turf before being treated with beneficial nematodes?
    I have a buffalograss and blue grama mix of turf in central Texas and have grassy annual weeds. I am using Tenacity before and at seeding in areas destroyed by digging animals last year.
    A

    There are no restrictions on the label for Tenacity Herbicide regarding timing around application of beneficial nematodes. Unfortuunately, not too much is known about the possible effects of using herbicides when applying beneficial insects. We would not recommend mixing or applying Tenacity immediately after appying the nematodes. We recommend contacting the manufacturer of the nematodes you are using for their recommendation on how long to wait between these applications and which is best done first.

  • Asked by Ted from Ks
    05/26/2018
    Q
    Will a surfactant limit the pre-emergent effect of Tenacity?
    I have newly seeded buffalograss that has not yet emerged. Many weeds have emerged first. I put Tenacity down at 5 oz./acre with surfactant. Will I still get preemergent control?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide would only need a surfactant when using as a post emergent.  For pre-emergence control you need to water the product in and apply before the weeds have germinated/emerged so it appears to be too late to benefit from that.

    Q
    I recently applied Grubex and fertilizer. How long do I need to wait before I can apply Tenacity?
    How long do I need to wait to apply the Tenacity? Also, would you recommend a spot treatment of Tenacity or can I do the whole lawn. any particular oz/acre recommended? I over-seeded/repaired some lawn about 4 weeks ago. Thank you!
    A

    There are no time restrictions when applying Tenacity Herbicide along with insecticides or fertilizers.  You can either spot treat or broadcast depending on how much of the target weed you are dealing with.

  • Asked by David from Kalamazoo
    07/14/2018
    Q
    Due to excess heat and draught my bent grass is dormant (brown). Can I use Tenacity now or should I wait.
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide is labeled to control bentgrass but it does need to be applied when it is actively growing and healthy.  Per the product label: Apply Tenacity at 5 fl. oz. per acre in at least 30 gallons of water per acre at two to three week interval for up to three applications. Apply with a NIS surfactant. Bentgrass control may be more effective in the late summer/early fall just prior to onset of renewed bentgrass growth, than spring/early summer applications

  • Asked by Mark from Shelbyville, Ky
    08/11/2018
    Q
    What do you recommend to combat the wild violet and nimblewill taking over my yard?
    The desired grasses in the yard are bluegrass and fescue. Will I get effective control applying at this time of the growing season? Recognizing they are very different weeds, can the recommended products be mixed into one application? Or, should they be separate applications and, if so, how far apart?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide can be used for both nimblewill and wild violet.  To control nimblewill, you should start applying Tenacity Herbicide in the spring (late-April). You may need to make two or three applications to get complete control.  You can also apply Tenacity in late summer and fall, but you should initiate treatments by August for best results. For other weeds such as wild violet apply to young, actively growing weeds.

    Q
    Will Tenacity Herbicide kill moss?

    Q
    Can Tenacity Herbicide be combined with a pesticide like Temprid FX?
    Looking to save time. I live in NJ Pine Barrens where we have ticks, mosquitoes, and other insects. Just looking for clarification if anyone has some advice. Thanks!
    A

    Yes, Tenacity Herbicide can be tank mixed with Temprid FX, following the label instructions for each product. We would suggest doing a compatibility test in a small jar before mixing in a large tank.

  • Asked by Harrison from Tn
    03/03/2019
    Q
    Can I plant a Fescue mix seed after application of Tenacity Herbicide?
    A

    There is no wait time after applying Tenacity Herbicide to re-seed unless you are re-seeding with fine fescue. For fine fescue, it is recommended that you wait at least 30 days after application to re-seed. Be sure that your mix does not contain seed that will not be tolerable.
