  • Asked by Hiep from Kent, Wa
    07/17/2021
    Q
    Can you spray tenacity over dead grass
    Haven't watered the grass. Grass is dead. The summer heat has killed my lawn. I have annul bluegrass in with the dead grass. Will this help with killing the annul bluegrass if I spray tenacity over the dead grass?
    A
    Tenacity Herbicide will not control annual bluegrass so whether the lawn was currently alive or dead wouldn't make a difference in this case. If the lawn is already dead, you can spot spray the annual bluegrass with roundup. Typically, annual bluegrass cannot withstand high heat temps, so if the heat this summer has been high enough to kill or heavily damage your lawn, it should have also done the same to the annual bluegrass. If you plan to reseed your lawn this fall, then you can try using the Tenacity as a pre emergent during seeding, however it is only labeled for poa annua suppression when used as a pre, and there are other herbicides that would be better suited to preventing it from coming back. However the herbicides that do this the most effectively are also ones that would prevent your new grass from coming up, so you could not seed and use a better suited pre for poa annua in the same season.

  • Asked by Chris from Lewisville Nc
    07/20/2021
    Q
    Can I use Tenacity Herbicide to get rid of vine type of ivy growing in juniper or do you have another recommendation?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide is not listed to control any type of vines not can it be used over juniper. We would recommend carefully treating using a non selective such as Roundup directly to the vine. This is best done if the vine is cut and applied directly using a small paint brush to the fresh cut surface.  Or hand pulling is the other option.

    Q
    Tenacity for crabgrass in a very thick Centipede grass lawn.
    I've got patches of crabgrass in a thick Centipede lawn. Can I spray Tenacity on it mid-summer even if it's down deep in the centipede?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide can be applied in the summer and works best on crabgrass that has just emerged up to the 4 tiller stage.  Keep in mind that the best temperature range to apply most herbicides, including Tenacity, is between 65-85 degrees. We recommend early morning or late evening applications to avoid damage to your lawn.

  • Asked by Shuang from Scotch Plains, Nj
    08/07/2021
    Q
    Can Tenacity Herbicide be used to treat poa annua, clover, etc in my lawn that is a mix of bermuda and fescue? Wanting the best and most effective weed killer for my needs?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide is labeled safe for fescue lawns however can ONLY be applied to bermuda turfgrass when it is dormant without the risk of injury. Tenacity can be used for pre and post emergent (with Non Ionic Surfactant) control of clover but will only suppress poa annua, it will not fully control it.

    Since poa annua and cool season grasses are so closely related, there are few products that will kill the poa annua without also harming the lawn. For Poa Annua in cool season turfgrasses, we recommend a spot-treat with a Roundup-type product and then reseed with the desirable grass type in those areas.

    Applying a pre emergent like Pendulum 2G or Dimension 2EW in late fall and early spring to prevent weeds like poa annua, clover, crabgrass, and many other grassy and broadleaf weeds from germinating is also helpful.

  • Asked by Geoffrey from Liverpool, New York
    08/18/2021
    Q
    How soon can apply Tenacity Herbicide after/between rainfall?
    I live in upstate NY (Liverpool). We've gotten a bunch of rain Lately. I installed a roll of turf 3 weeks ago and it has established itself well. I unfortunately there is a about a 1-foot square section of crabgrass immediately next to it. My questions: How soon can apply after/between rainfall events? Can I apply tenacity to this area where newish turf and crabgrass meet? I also have pathed a few spots around the awn where I placed soil and seed. I have new grass that appears ready for mowing and some areas that have just started sprouting. I plan to avoid these patches until they are mowed a couple times. Any advice about these would be greatly appreciated.
    A

    As stated on the product label of Tenacity, this product should be applied when there is no rain in the forecast for at least 48 hours. "If rainfall (0.15 inches) has not occurred within 10 days after preemergence application, activate with 0.15 inches of irrigation." This product can be applied to established, tolerable turf types.

    Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.

  • Asked by Billy from Broken Arrow Oklahoma
    11/05/2021
    Q
    When is the best time of year to apply Tenacity Herbicide? In the Fall or in the Spring?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide can be used both in spring and fall for pre emergent control of weeds when soil temps are around 55 degrees. Tenacity is one of the top pre emergents for cool season turfgrasses in fall and can be applied at the same time as overseeding without inferferring with grass seed germiantion. 

    For post emergent control of actively growing weeds, a Non Ionic Surfactant is required to be added to tank mix. Post emergent applicaitons can be applied anytime the weeds are actively growing. Please refer to the list of Weeds Controlled on the product label for information on pre/post emergent control of targeted weeds.

  • Asked by Edison
    12/15/2021
    Q
    Will Tenacity Herbicide kill woodsorrel in St. Augustine lawns?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide cannot be used on residential St Augustine lawns and will not eliminate woodsorrel.

    To control woodsorrel (also known as oxalis) in a St Augustine lawn, you could use a product like Hi Yield Atrazine, or Fertilome Weed Free Zone. 

    • Please note, Fertilome Weed Free Zone is not recommend to be used on Floratam or Bitterblue varieties of St Augustine unless discoloration and temporary injury can be tolerated. Other species of St Augustine would be safe if used at labeled rates.  

    It is recommended to apply a pre emergent like Pendulum 2G in Fall and Spring. (55 degrees in the Spring / Between 70 and 55 degrees in the Fall). Pre emergents prevent weeds from germinating which will help cut down on the amount of post emergents needed during growing seasons.

  • Asked by Barry from Finleyville
    08/18/2022
    Q
    How does the pre and post emergent watering work?
    As a post emergent it is said to let it dry from 2 to 3 hours and it is rain fast, then it is stated that if you want to use it as a pre-emergent to make sure it is watered in at some point within 10 days. Exactly how does that work? If it is rainproof in 2 to 3 hours how does watering it in say 5 days later (if no rain) break up the product that is supposedly rain proof and get it in the soil? Also, would this not be the way to always apply it, in that you let it dry for 3 hours (post emergent requirement and weed kill) and then it rains 5 days later and you magically get the pre emergent factor. Post and pre emergent control all in one. Am I wrong thinking that??
    A

    When using Tenacity Herbicide  as a post emergent application you are only spot treating the weeds directly per the product label not broadcasting across the entire lawn like you would when applying as a pre-emergent.  It is recommended to apply when no rain is expected within 24 hours if treating active weeds so it has enough time to dry and be absorbed by the weeds.  For pre-emergent applications you need to water it in so it gets down in the soil to create the barrier.

    Q
    After a hot summer and appling tenacity late summer how and when do I get rid of all the dead white matter ?
    Should I de-thatch the lawn before over seeding to clear out the dead weeds and white remnants ?
    A

    You do not have to remove dead plant matter after using Tenacity Herbicide. However if you plan to overseed, then it is a good idea to rake out dead plants since you may need to dethatch or aerate before putting down your new seed.
