    Q
    Will Tenacity Herbicide harm fruit trees?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide is not labeled to be applied in or around edible vegetation. When applying the product to your lawn, you would want to be sure to avoid over-spray or drift of spray applications onto the fruit trees, and avoid spraying within the drip line of any edible trees.

  • Asked by Merritt from Felton, De
    09/05/2019
    Q
    Can I spray Tenacity at the same rate if I already used it as a pre-emergent in August?
    I plan on overseeding in September.
    A

    While you could potentially do a split application with Tenacity for a fall pre-emergent, usually you would wait at least 6-8 weeks between applications in that case. Keep in mind that the annual maximum application rate for Tenacity is 16 oz per Acre per year (used in 12 months), so you want to be careful you are not exceeding that rate. Be sure, too, that you are not exceeding the application rates for your type of turfgrass.

  • Asked by Ron from Cincinnati, Oh

    Q
    What plants can tolerate Tenacity?
    kill weeds growing in established plants
    A

    We don't recommend using Tenacity Herbicide to get rid of weeds in ornamental plants, it's not labeled for this use. If you have broadleaf weeds, you will need to spot treat with a non-selective herbicide. If you have grassy weeds, you can use a product like the Bonide Grass Beater around listed ornamentals on the label.

  • Asked by Kevin from Indianapolis
    04/08/2020
    Q
    Weeds have kept growing and have gotten worse since Tenacity application last week, should I reapply?
    I mixed 2 gallons of water, 1 teaspoon of Tenacity, 3 teaspoon of surfactant, as well as 3 teaspoons of Lazer Blue Ddye. I covered all the weeds, crabgrass, and clover thoroughly, but after a week all weeds have grown larger, more green and brighter yellow than I've ever seen them in my yard. I measured and it is 2 weeds per squarefoot. By now shouldn't the weeds be smaller or looking sickly? Can I go ahead and reapply now? Or should I switch to a different product?
    A

    Foliage of treated weeds will cease growth after Tenacity Herbicide 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.

  • Asked by John from Atlanta, Ga

    Q
    Water-in Tenacity Herbicide on dormant Bermuda?
    If applying Tenacity to dormant Bermuda Grass, should the application be watered in?
    A

    You would only need to water in the pre-emergent application of Tenacity Herbicide on dormant bermuda if you felt you did not use a sufficient amount of water during the initial application. Typically the goal is to create an even barrier in the soil with the chemical so the weeds cannot penetrate through it. Light watering no more than a 1/2 inch of rainfall equivalent is fine.

    Q
    Will Tenacity control Italian ryegrass?
    A

    The product label for Tenacity Herbicide only states it is safe to be used on perennial ryegrass. There is no mention of it controlling Italian ryegrass, so I would not suggest using the product to control that particular weed.

    Q
    If my chickens ate a couple weeds sprayed with Tenacity is it safe?
    So my chickens ate a small amount of weeds that I sprayed with tenacity 4 hours ago....should I be worried? Should I prepare for chicken stew instead of eggs?
    A

    Tenacity is usually pet safe as soon as it is dry. However, chickens are different and we would recommend reaching out to your vet for more information on what to do. Or you can reach out to the manufacturer for more information as well: Syngenta 866.796.4368.

  • Asked by Terry from Salisbury
    03/04/2021
    Q
    Can I apply Tenacity Herbicide as a post emergent to kill actively growing weeds now and will it work to prevent crabgrass from germinating or do I need to wait until the crabgrass is actively growing in June to treat with Tenacity Herbicide?
    A

    If you are applying Tenacity Herbicide for a crabgrass pre-emergent, then you would apply in late early spring before soil temperatures reach about 55 degrees. Keep in mind that if you are not overseeding in the spring, you usually want to use a different pre-emergent with longer soil residual or add another one for longer and more complete weed prevention.

    We have more information in our Crabgrass Pre-Emergent Guide here.

  • Asked by Dave from Lewes, Delaware

    Q
    Tenacity with Scott's Sun & Shade
    I have 40 lb bags of Scott's Sun & Shade containing 20% creeping red/bolster chewing fescue. I've read you cannot use this with “fine fescue”. Am I ok to put down tenacity at the time of seeding or should I wait or put it down before seeding? Delaware
    A

    Whenever a lawn has large amounts of fine fescue its recommended to not use Tenacity unless some damage can be tolerated. Typically applying it as a pre emergent will lead to less harm than using it as a post emergent on a sensitive blend. We'd suggest applying the Tenacity as a pre emergent first, then wait 2-3 weeks to seed.  Or seed and apply Tenacity 2 weeks after seeding.

  • Asked by Robert from Downingtown, Pa
    04/13/2021
    Q
    I forgot to add the non ionic surfactant in the mix of Tenacity Herbicide when I applied to my lawn. I immediately came back and over sprayed with the non ionic surfactant. Will this be effective for post emergent control of listed weeds?
    A

    Since a surfactant is designed to reduce water tension during spraying, applying it separately is unlikely to improve results. If you were applying the Tenacity as a pre-emergent herbicide, then there should not be any detriment to the application. If you were applying as a post-emergent, then you may need to reapply the product in 2-3 weeks as a spot treatment for the target weeds.

  • Asked by Terry from Dayton Ohio

    Q
    Will Tenacity Herbicide kill my Irises if sprayed on them?
    A

    We would not recommend Tenacity Herbicide be applied to flower beds and ornamental plants. According to the product label: “Avoid over-spray or drift of spray applications onto ornamentals or flower beds and gardens. Roses and daylilies are sensitive plant species. Avoid applications over the top of exposed roots of trees and ornamentals."

  • Asked by Patrick from Lake Odessa
    05/01/2021
    Q
    How soon after applying Tenacity Herbicide can I overseed?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide is one of the few products that can be applied at seeding, prior to seeding, or just after seeding of new grasses to help prevent and control weeds at the same time. Be sure to check the label for any restrictions to certain turf types as Fine Fescue is more sensitive than other species when using Tenacity at seeding. Be sure to use a Non Ionic Surfactant with the Tenacity when applying for best results.

  • Asked by Brad from Cameron
    05/06/2021
    Q
    Can you apply Tenacity Herbicideafter using 2-4,D herbicide?
    I have applied 2-4 d for weeds and would like to use Tenacity as a preemergence for crabgrass
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide can be used on a lawn that 2,4 d or other herbicides have been applied to safely as long as you follow label instructions and apply it evenly. Tenacity will only last about 30 days as a pre emergent compared to other pre emergents on the market that will last 3-4 months. Tenacity is mostly used as a pre emergent in the spring or fall when customers are over seeding their lawns with a cool season grass to fill in bare spots, as its one of the only products that can be used at this time without harming the seed. If you are not seeding, you may want to consider a longer lasting pre emergent or one that covers a wider range of weeds than the Tenacity does, like the Dimension 2EW or Pendulum 2G for instance. If using Tenacity as a pre for crabgrass, you want to put it down at or just prior to your soil temperatures reaching 55 degrees in order to be effective. If soil temps have already progressed past 55 degrees your pre emergent will not do much to stop the weeds.
