    Q
    Will Acclaim control Poa Annua on bent grass greens?
    A

    Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide will not kill Poa annua.  We apologize but cannot make recommendations on treating golf course areas. We would recommend reaching out to a grounds keeper at a local golf course for the best advice.

    Q
    Would Acclaim Extra work to control Japanese Stiltgrass in Bermuda turfgrass?
    The majority of the turf is bermuda, not sure of the type. I do not want to kill the bermuda turf, but the stilt grass is the main target.
    A

    Unfortunately, Japanese stiltgrass is not only extremely difficult to control with most chemicals, but it is also similar in plant structure to bermudagrass. This means if a product controls the stiltgrass, then it has the potential to damage, suppress or kill the bermudagrass that its sprayed on as well. This is the case with Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide. Most customers will spot treat the stiltgrass with RoundUp and reseed with the desireable turfgrass to help reduce the chances of it coming back.

    Q
    How does Acclaim Extra compare to Drive XLR8?
    I am looking to control crabgrass after it has germinated. What are the difference between the Acclaim Extra and Drive XLR8 products? Does one work better?
    A

    Both Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide and Drive XLR8 are both highly effective for post emergent control of crabgrass. Drive XLR8 when used with a methylated oil surfactant such as Prime Source Duo Stick is a top choice for post emergent control of crabgrass and usually preferred as it is a more economical option.   Acclaim Extra is also labeled for many other grassy weeds, Drive controls listed broadleaf weeds and grassy weeds.

    Q
    Will Acclaim Extra herbicide control nimblewill grass in a predominately fescue/bluegrass lawn?
    A

    Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide is not labeled for nimblewill. Tenacity is labeled for post-emergent control of Nimblewill in Kentucky Bluegrass, Centipedegrass, Buffalograss, Tall Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass, Fine Fescue, St. Augustine Grass. Per the product label, you may need a second application after 2 to 3 weeks. Apply to young, actively growing weeds, and be sure to use a surfactant such as Southern Ag Non-Ionic surfactant for post-emergent applications.  Your other option would be to use a non-selective herbicide such as Roundup to spot treat the Nimblewill to kill it directly, and then replant in those areas.

  • Asked by Trudy from Greer, South Carolina
    09/27/2019
    Q
    When is Acclaim most effective on killing Johnsgrass? What time of the year should it be applied?
    A

    According to the article here, the effectiveness of certain herbicides including Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide were effective when applied early season (pre-tiller), mid-season (1 to 2 tillers) and late season (pre-flowering). In general, two applications provided greater control than a single treatment.  So you should start when it first starts to grow.  You can also contact your local cooperative extension office to determine the correct timing of the application as this will vary greatly from region to region.

    I recently built a house on farm land that had Timothy hay growing on it.

Will this kill the hay without killing my grass. I live in Central Pennsylvania. Thank you.
