The XL 2G granules is a selective pre-emergent herbicide product that will not kill anything actively growing, it would be a great product to prevent them though. Once the sticker burr weeds are up and thriving, the only way to kill it is to carefully spot treat with a glyphosate product such as Agrisel Gly Pho-Sel Pro. Agrisel Gly Pho-Sel Pro is a non-selective herbicide which means it will kill most types of vegetation including desirable turfgrasses, so care must be used when applying this product to the sticker burr. Or you could also try a post emergent herbicide labeled for burrs, Celsius is a great one.

XL 2G Herbicide would be great to use as a pre-emergent weed control product. XL 2G does not control emerged weeds, established weeds, weeds growing from stolens, rhizomes, or root pieces. For the emerged weeds, you could use any glyphosate product, like GlyPhoSel Pro, to kill any and all weeds and grasses that might come up through the rocks. You can spray it as often as needed to get the control you need on the weeds you want to kill. Care should be taken to avoid spraying desirable plants as it will kill anything that it is applied to.

Q

It rained over 2 1/2 inches a day after applying XL 2G, will this reduce effectiveness?
I put down XL 2G at the recommended rate of 3.4 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. on Saturday. The next day we got about 2 1/2 inches of rain and more rain expected later this week. Will this much rain reduce the effectiveness of XL 2G? Should I still wait the 3 full months (per instructions) before applying the second application. This is the first time I have tried using a pre-emergent herbicide and am not familiar with the product. I hope it works.

A

Per the product label, XL 2G Granules should be applied prior to a rainfall. A single rainfall of at least 1/2 inch or more is required.
