User questions & answers

Question:	Will it kill Johnson grass and Dallas grass
Answer:	It will not kill Dallis grass
Question:	We have a 2600 sqft lawn and a 4 gallon backpack commercial sprayer. How much drive, water and surfactant should we add to the sprayer
Answer:	I bought 1/2 gallon of XLR8 for probably 10,000 sf of lawn. I used 2 ounces per gallon + 1 teaspoon or so of surfactant on actively growing crabgrass in a bermuda and fescue central Arkansas lawn this summer. I spot treated the crabgrass, which had taken over probably 25% of the lawn and small patches of it in throughout. I've hit newly sprouted crabgrass or areas that I missed or that survived several times a couple weeks apart, and almost all of the crabgrass is dead. I still have more than 1/2 left. I don't think you would need to spray more than 1/4 of your tank at a time for 2600 sf, I would think 1/2 gallon would last you several years.
Question:	What is the shelf life of this product
Answer:	3 years
Question:	What is the mixing ratio for the 1/2 gallon and how big area it will cover, and how many times do have to apply. Thank you
Answer:	Correction to my previous answer to your question: I mix 3oz Drive in 2+ gallons water and apply to 2000+ square feet, not 1000 as stated. This approximates the recommended (maximum) application rate for Bermudagrass of 1.45oz/1000 sqft. Another suggestion is to use 1oz per generous gallon of water per 1000sqft so you could use 3 applications (3oz per year per 1000sqft) and not exceed the manufacturer's limit of 2.9oz per 1000 sqft per year.

User questions & answers

Question:	will it damage shrubs and flowers
Answer:	Keep the spray away from any type of ornamental flowers or Shrubs. It is made for lawn weed control only, not flower beds. You may try using preen granules around your flower beds. If you use colored mulch around those flowers and shrubs you will help control the weed population and enhance the beauty of the shrubs and flowers. Hope this helps. Steve
Question:	how may square feet does the entire 40 ounces of the product treat
Answer:	According to the manufacturers (Bayer's) directions 3.2 fl. oz. mixed in one gallon of water treats 500 sq. ft. - So your 40 fl. oz. divided by 3.2 equals 12.5, then times 500 gives you 6,250 sq.ft.Anthony
Question:	does it contains quinclorac
Answer:	yes Quinclorac 1.61%
Question:	it does not say what the mix is, how much per gallon of water
Answer:	3.2 oz per gallon treats 500 sq ft.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much lawn will this 8oz bottle cover? We have .3 of an acre
Answer:	The 8 oz bottle will produce 96 gallons of solution using 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water. I forget what the coverage is but it will certainly cover .3 acres using a pump sprayer.I have been using mine on my .5 acre for two years and I have only used about 1/3 of the 8 oz.
Question:	Anyone know how tenacity compares to a product called "dismiss"? i have some nutsedge to get rid of and i'm trying to decide which to get. thanks
Answer:	tenacity is labeled for nutsedge. . Dismiss is the the better choice, however. Usually with tenacity, you have to apply it at least two to three times, at two week intervals. They are both broad spectrum. Tenaciity's claim to fame is its ability to kill grassy weeds, like Nimblewill. They are both labeled for Goose grass. I don't think Dismiss is labeled for Nimblewill. PS: spectricide makes a good 4 way for the home owner. It has 24d, dicamba, quinchlorac, and sulfantrazone (dismiss). spelling. they sell it on amazon and lowes.
Question:	can i apply over
Answer:	The official answer is no for most herbicides. Depending on what you're trying to control. Here is a link to one of the best reports I have found - http://archive.lib.msu.edu/tic/golfd/article/2012oct33.pdf. This report shows great results with mid-80 degree temperatures in the control of POA ANA (Which is what I'm challenged with controlling). The general rule of thumb with Tenacity is the higher the temperatures the more applications (small dosage) needed for control. Tenacity has a half-life of 5-15 days depending on the temperatures - the higher temperatures the lower the half-life. The report and other reading also indicates that Tenacity needs to stay in the plant at or above the half life levels for ~ about 14 days or so to gain a high level of control. My advice would be to look for a week when temperatures are expected to average below 90 degrees and make a couple applications during that week and observe the control that you achieve - then goo from there. I experimented for a couple seasons using this report to get a feel for the best application frequency, rates, temperatures and timing (time of year). I hope this is helpful. Good luck and all the best.
Question:	what is surfactant? Is it included with tenacity
Answer:	A surfactant is a separate product that you add to your applicator tank. It helps the Tenacity stick to leaf blades and better kill the weeds. I used Bonide Turbo spreader sticker. It, or something similar is available in small bottles in garden centers. The ratio I used for nimblewil was 1 teaspoon of Tenacity and four teaspoons of surfactant per 1 gallon of Water.

Product description

Prodiamine pre-emergent herbicide in water dispersible granule formulation. This is a 5oz bottle made specifically for DIYers who want small quantities of this professionally formulated pre emergent herbicide to be mixed in water and sprayed out as a liquid. Yard Mastery is proud to bring this to market specifically in a smaller bottle for DIYers. #DIYfirst Prodiamine is a pre-emergent used in spring and fall to stop problem grasses and weeds in lawns. It is best known as a crabgrass and poa annua pre emergent but is also stops other listed weeds including: Barnyardgrass, Carpetweed-04, Chickweed (common), Chickweed (mousear), Crabgrass (large and smooth), Crowfootgrass, Cup grass (woolly), Foxtails (annual), Goosegrass, Henbit, Itchgrass, Johnsongrass (seedling), Junglerice, Knotweed, Kochia, Lambsquarters (common), Lovegrass, Panicum (browntop, fall and Texas), Pigweed, Purslane (common), Pusley (Florida), Rescuegrass, Shepherdspurse, Signalgrass Broadleaf, Speedwell (Persian), Sprangletop, Spurge (prostate), Witchgrass, Woodsorrel (yellow, from seed) Since this is a professional formulation, there are several ways to parse the usage and rates. Our recommendation is to apply two applications in spring for crabgrass, known as “split applications” and each of those should be .183oz/1000 sq ft (5.2g). We recommend weighing product on a scale to be accurate and grams will be the easiest. Mix 5.2 grams of prodiamine 65 WDG in 1 gallon of water and this spray mix can cover 1,000 sq ft.

• 5OZ BOTTLE - Professionally formulated for DIYers who want small quantities of pre emergent. Enough for 1 entire season on a 10,000 square foot yard.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this harm a Buffalo Grass lawn? It was planted last summer
Answer:	Buffalo grass is listed on the label as highly tolerant along with Bermuda which is what I have. It is the best crabgrass weed killer that I have ever used, kills it in a couple of days. It can also be mixed with 2,4-d for a overall grass and broadleaf weed control. I also use methylated seed oil as a surfactant when mixing. Great product!!
Question:	Since my existing crabgrass will die in early Fall anyway, will using this before Fall reseeding help to prevent crabgrass from growing next summer
Answer:	Quinclorac is a post-emergent herbicide. It is most often used in the control of crabgrass, sedges, and broadleaf weeds. It does not work as a pre-emergent. However on our website you can find pre-emergents for crabgrass. Thank You Nina C
Question:	Will it kill Centipede grass
Answer:	It's not designed to kill centipede grass, however it can harm a centipede lawn.
Question:	How much emulsifier is recommended per gallon
Answer:	I used a 50oz soap jug to mix my solution. I put in 35oz of Trimec, 4oz of Quinclorac, and 6oz of Mentholated Seed Oil. Then I shook it for 5 min to mix well. I applied it using a Gilmore hand sprayer set for 4 Tablespoons per gallon.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it matter how hot it is when you spray? Wet or dry grass? can you spray any time of the day
Answer:	I sprayed when temperatures was between 80 and 90. Grass should be dry. Add a surpectant like liquid soap or buy one. I was trying to kill crabgrass. I sprayed four times without much luck. I followed the directions. I don't know if it was me or product but am going to try something else next year like MSMG.
Question:	Can i use this on Zoyia grass and bermuda grass
Answer:	Yes, but it will brown both types of grasses and you you must use the correct dilution ratios
Question:	will this kill st augustine grass invading my zoysia grass
Answer:	The directions for use on the website states: "Commercial & Residential Turf-grass, Golf Courses, Sports Fields and Sod Farms NOT FOR USE ON Bahiagrass, Colonial Bentgrass, Seaside Bentgrass, Centipedegrass, Dichondra, St. Augustine" It will definitely kill the St. Augustine. The website from the manufacturer has a listing of various grass types and their tolerances. It lists Zoysiagrass as being HIGHLY TOLERANT, so you should be fine. Look at PAGE #9 on this PDF file from the manufacturers' website. Google "Quinclorac 75 DF Select - Prime Source" and go to the first URL listed.
Question:	How long till it takes affect on crabgrass? If another treatment is needed how long do I wait before respraying
Answer:	In my experience, it's a long haul. It doesn't seem to dent existing crabgrass very much. This season I finally got on it and sprayed down a layer pre-emergently, before the crabgrass could get started. I hit it again several weeks later, the grass was coming out of winter's dormancy and was in full growth again. I think the early spray got the jump on it, and the secondary made sure any late-starting crabgrass got hit. Over the past few seasons, I'm slowly winning the crabgrass battle. Where the crabgrass was prominent, it's pretty barren, so gouging and reseeding will be due someday.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come granular to use with spreader
Answer:	Hi, this is not a straight forward questions as it very much depends on the type of coffee and the brewing method adopted. However, to give you a rough average, we could say that you can make from 20 to 30 cups of coffee from each bag. The Pelliconi Family @Aromistico
Question:	What is TOTAL weight of this product? Is it one package or five package? On other sites they sell 5 packs for the same price... Do you sell only one
Answer:	The grind is medium/coarse which means it can be used with most common method of coffee brewing and makers. This ground is not for espresso coffee though, as you need a fine grind for that. For espresso, opt for the whole beans version and then grind as you wish or as requested. The Pelliconi Family @Aromistico

User questions & answers

Question:	How often do you need to apply this treatment
Answer:	As often as you want as long as you do not go over the maximum amount for your turf type per year. For some turf types, that is about .83 ounces by weight of this dry granule per 1,000 sq. ft. Most typically people apply this in the late winter or early spring. Many say to put this down when the soil temps are at 55 degrees in the winter/spring, but that is when crabgrass starts to germinate. Many lawn care professionals say to put this down earlier, when the temps are 40 to 45 degrees because it is the bacteria in the soil that break down the product and at these temperatures, the bacteria are pretty much dormant. You apply at 0.185 ounces by weight per 1,000 sq. ft. (for any grass type) and that will give you 3-4 months of protection when put down at those temps above. Put down 0.28 ounces per 1,000 sq. ft. to give 4 months of protection in the fall. I apply when the night time temperatures start dropping into the low 70's and upper 60's. I saw someone say you want this down before the soil temperatures drop to 70 in the late summer/early fall, but I have not confirmed this. So if the day temps are in the 80's and 90's and the night temps are in the 70's or upper 60's, you should still be ahead of the annual weeds you're trying to prevent in the fall.
Question:	Is this product safe for centipede grass thats 1 year old
Answer:	This should be safe on any established grass which typically means the grass has grown enough to be mowed 4+ times. You can put it down a little earlier depending on the grass type, but better safe than sorry. If you put this down too soon you can harm the new grass while it is maturing and if you do this, the prodiamine will stop new grass seed (as well as weeds) from germinating for a few months.
Question:	Will it prevent crabgrass
Answer:	Yes. Prodiamine is broken down by the microbes in the soil, and the microbes do not really start to become very active until the soil temperatures are higher...like 50+ degrees (not 100% positive of what temp here, but you get the idea). Crabgrass seeds start to germinate once the ground temperatures start to reach about 55 degrees. So you can put this down when the ground temperatures are 40-45 degrees and it will still be very effective once the ground temperatures reach ~55 degrees and provide the protection you need, versus waiting until the ground temps are already at 55 degrees and you may be too late. What this does it once the crabgrass and other seeds start to germinate, Prodiamine will stop the roots from progressing once the seeds start to germinate, which kills the plant before it completely germinates and breaks through the soil. What I like to do (heard this from a lawn care professional - YouTube channel 'Pest & Lawn Ginja') is get use a cheap meat thermometer and check the soil temps and once the ground temps are around 55 degrees, put down a different pre-emergent called Dithiopyr. This will also stop seeds from fully germinating as the Prodiamine does, but Dithiopyr also acts as a post-emergent for very young weeds and crabgrass up to 2-3 tillers. So you get early protection and a second layer of protection if required.
Question:	will it work with no pre mixing sprayer connected to water hose? if so, is setting of 2tsp for one gallon will work
Answer:	I wouldn't recommend it. Prodiamine, straight out of the container, is in granular form. Each granule is about 1 mm in diameter. All the hose end sprayers I know of require dispensing of the product as a liquid. For my application, which is to treat for Annual Bluegrass (Poa Annua) in a Zoysia lawn, I used a 3 gallon backpack tank sprayer. I measured 3/4 Tbsp. Prodiamine and poured it into a quart container. I then added 3 cups water and mixed the two together into a concentrate. I then poured the concentrate into the backpack tank sprayer and added water to make 3 gallons. 3 gallons will treat 750 sq. ft. The amount to use is 1/4 Tbsp. Prodiamine per gallon of water. Each gallon will treat 250 sq. ft.There are 3 tsp. in a Tbsp.
