We live in the high desert and waiting for 65 degrees allows the grass to grow quite a lot. Spray cooler?My daylilies are being choked out by "wire grass". It starts growing on the high desert as soon as it warms up marginally. Should I just wait then trim the grass level with the plant before spraying?
When applying the Bonide Grass Beater you want to make sure temps are not over 85 degrees especially if applying it around vegetable crops with a surfactant/adjuvant. You can apply it anytime the ground isnt frozen however the best results will occur if the plant is in an actively growing state.Most plants need to be in that growing state to have the chemicals respond effectively. As with any herbicide, you want to have no mowing or cutting of the target weeds/grasses for 2 full days prior to application and for 2 full days after application so the plant can fully absorb the chemical.
