Q

Since Torocity is compared to Tenacity will it also kill yellow nutsedge and spotted spurge?
Tenacity is labeled to target yellow nutsedge and spotted spurge but I don’t see them listed for Torocity. Is there a difference between the two products?

A

Torocity Herbicide is just a Generic Tenacity Herbicide, they have the same active ingredient and instructions, just different manufacturers. Neither are labeled to control spurge but will control yellow nutsedge.

This product is only intended to be used on dormant Bermuda and only lasts 30 days as a pre-emergent so has to applied often for prevention, the label also states to tank mix with a true pre-emergent for better prevention. Pendulum 2G Granular Herbicide gives better results when trying to prevent poa annua. And either Image Kills Nutsedge Concentrate or Certainty Herbicide - 1.25 oz. will control it once it has emerged

Best month to apply Torocity Herbicide?
Have 5 acres. Seems like (but not really) thistle has gone from a few big weeds (and a lot of goldfinches!) in 2023, to an explosion of huge thistle patches this year (Spring, 2024). Even now have some inside fenced backyard where there was none). RoundUp doesn’t seem to do the trick.

Depending on the type of grass you have, you will need to check each products' label for further information/instructions to avoid undesirable turf injury or just apply in separate applications since for different target weeds. Torocity is only applied as a spot treatment directly to weeds actively growing when used in post emergent applications unless doing a lawn renovation.
