    Q
    What is the mechanism that actually kills the weeds?
    I am using a Fertilome product that contains Trimec. I notice that it beads up on the plant leaves. I'm afraid that it needs something to break through the leaf surface (surfactant) and is not doing it. Does Trimec kill similar to Roundup?
    A
    Trimec 992 Broadleaf Herbicide has three different active ingredients that work differently but work exceptionally well together. 2,4-D and MCPP-p are an auxin- type herbicide which is a class  of plant growth regulators. It is absorbed through the leaves and is translocates to the growing points of the plants, causing weed stems to curl and twist, withering, and eventual death. Lastly, the Dicamba is absorbed through the leaves and roots and has multiple modes of actions for hard to kill broadleaf weeds.

    Q
    I have a Stihl 450 blower/mister and was wondering if I could spray the Trimec 992 with it?
    I would use the 1.5 oz to 1 gal per 1000sq feet
    A
    We do not recommend applying Trimec 992 in a mist blower. It should be applied using a hand held sprayer or backpack sprayer so that you have a uniform coverage on the turfgrass.

    Q
    I wanted to know if I could mix 4 pints of Trimec in 15 gallons of water and distribute it evenly across my 1-acre lawn?
    You have recommended using 1.5 fl oz of Trimec in 1 gallon of water over 1,000 sq ft. That works out to about You have recommended using 1.5 fl oz of Trimec in 1 gallon of water over 1,000 sq ft. That works out to about 42 gallons per acre. I have a 15-gallon sprayer, so I wanted to know if I could mix 4 pints of Trimec in 15 gallons of water and distribute it evenly across my 1-acre lawn? Would that be fine? Is that too little water?
    A

    Trimec 992 Broadleaf Herbicide is mixed at 1.5 fl oz per gallon of water. It will take 4 pints to treat an acre. Herbicides do not give a water amount.  They only tell you how much of the product to apply over 1000 square feet.  The amount of water is dependent on how ever much water it takes for you to walk 1000 square feet.  Whether you place the amount of product per 1000 square feet in a gallon of water or 10 gallons of water, it does not matter, just as long as that amount of product is distributed over the 1000 square feet.

    Q
    Creeping Charlie Resistant or old product?
    I applied 992 at the maximum application rate of 1.5oz per 1,000 sqft and it is barely knocking down my creeping charlie (but took out most other weeds. My bottle of Trimec is about 6 years old, but has been sealed tightly and stored out of light. Do you think the creeping charlie is resistant to Trimec 992 and I need to use a different product or do you think my Trimec is just old and I need to order a new bottle from you? Thanks
    A
    Trimec 992 Broadleaf Herbicide has a long shelf life should still be viable if you are still seeing results on other troublesome weeds. Creeping Charlie, also known as ground ivy is best treated in the fall. Fall applications can provide improved control of winter emerged annual and perrenial weeds such as Creeping Charlie.

    Q
    What is the mix Trimec 992 Broadleaf Herbicide per gallon of water?
    A
    When dealing with herbicides the amount of water you use isn't very important as water just acts the carrier. You just need to make sure you are getting the correct amount of product over the recommended amount of space. We would recommend using 1.5 fl oz of Trimec in 1 gallon of water over 1,000 sq ft to help make the application a little easier to figure out. Trimec 992 does not require you to add a surfactant.

    Q
    Two questions. I need a good broad-spectrum herbicide to spot spray 15 acres with a 25 ga. sprayer.
    My field is mostly tall fescue. Lots of various weeds - tall and short. 'Was looking at Trimec 992, but wasn't sure. Also could not figure out mix ratio, product per 25 ga. water. Have alot to do, so economy is an issue, too. And would a surfactant help what ever product you recommend? Alot of info, I know, but thanks....
    A
    Trimec 992 would be a good general use broadleaf weed herbicide. You will need to use up to 4.0 pints per acre. When dealing with herbicides the amount of water you use isn't very important as water just acts the carrier. You just need to make sure you are getting the correct amount of product over the recommended amount of space. We would recommend using 1.5 fl oz of Trimec in 1 gallon of water over 1,000 sq ft to help make the application a little easier to figure out. Trimec 992 does not require you to add a surfactant.

  • Asked by Greg from Rochester Mn
    05/20/2013
    Q
    what is the mixture ratio to use in a 25 gallon sprayer?
    A
    There is not going to be an exact mixture ratio for that amount of water. When spraying an herbicide, the amount of water is not what is key. You need to make sure you are getting the correct amount of product over the correct amount of area. You will need to refer to the product label for how much you should be using for your type of lawn as is varies from one turf to the next. If the label states to use 1.2 ounces per 1000 sq/ft then you need to use the 1.2 ounces, in however much water it takes you to cover that much area. If doing a side by side comparison, the speed at which you are moving and we would be moving to treat 1000 sq/ft will most likely be different. It may take you only 2 gallons of water to cover the area being treated, and it may take us 5 gallons. Both are correct and both of us would mix the 1.2 ounces in with the water. If you have any further questions please let us know.

  • Asked by Paul from Dayton, Ohio
    05/16/2013
    Q
    Trimec 992 or EndRun?
    Hello. I thought I asked this a few hours ago, but I don't think it got sent. I just bought a house with a big yard (10,500 sq ft front, 7,500 back). Both yards have tons of weeds, many of which I can't even identify. There are dandelions, plantain, thistles and clovers, plus many creeping weeds that I'm not familiar with. Some have flowers: purple, white & yellow. I've tried Weed-B-Gone and Anime 2,4-D. After a month, some dandelions are wilted but the rest are barely phased. So I'm looking at Trimec 992 and EndRun but don't know which one to get. I can't afford both. Which would be best for my problem? Or is there another product you'd recommend? And what would be the mixing ratio of oz to gallon for spot-treating lawns? I read their labels and it's not addressed. Thank you very much!
    A
    Both Trimec 992 Broadleaf Herbicide and EndRun are terrific Post emergent herbicides.
    Since some of the weeds are not identified, we recommend contacting the local extension office and speaking with the master gardener. The master gardener wil be able to help identify and suggest specific products that work well in your area.

    Q
    What liquid fertilizers are compatible to be applied with Trimec 992? I am looking for cost effective options.
    I purchased a jug of Trimec 992 from you last week, and after reading the label info, I saw that it can be applied with compatible liquid fertilizers. I have a large 2 acre lawn (3 acre lot) and would like to apply the herbicide with an effective, low cost fertilizer at the same time. Thank you!
    A
    Our Coron-18-3-6 is an effective fertilizer and is compatible with most herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. The coverage of the Coron is roughly 22 ounces per 1000 sq/ft, but the exact dilution will vary by lawn type. You can refer to the product label for more specific usage recommendations and for compatibility you can check with the manufacturers of Coron and Trimec 992. Coron is made by Helena Chemical: 1-901-761-0050 and Trimec 992 is made by PBI Gordon: 1-800-821-7925.
