    Q
    Does AmTide MSM application have adverse affects for honeybees?
    I use AmTide on my horse pastures and a neighbor about a mile away claims his hives died because I sprayed. It has only been 5 days since I sprayed, the buttercup I was trying to kill hasn't even started dying. I know when the buttercup dies off it may affect the bees but just wondering if spraying could have a direct impact on the bees.
    A

    Per the product label, AmTide MSM 60 DF Herbicide does not have any grazing restrictions. It is labeled to be used in pastureland. When applied to actively growing young weeds, susceptible plants appear chlorotic from 1 to 3 weeks after application and the growing point subsequently dies.   If you are concerned about bees, wait until they are done pollinating before making application. It should not harm bees as it is a herbicide only.  To avoid any possible contact with bees, apply in the early morning or late evening when bees are less active.

    Q
    Can I plant Bermuda grass seed 2 weeks after applying MSM 60 mixed with 2-4-D?
    A

    AmTide MSM 60 DF Herbicide label states, when overseeding, wait 2 months (8 weeks) after application. Find complete label here.  For 2,4-D it would depend on which product you are using exactly, some say you have to wait 3 weeks or wait until the following season to seed treated areas.  You would need to refer to the product label of the product you intend to use.

    Q
    Can I inject AmTide MSM 60 DF Herbicide into the thick vines of English Ivy that are growing on my trees to kill the plant?
    I need a solution to my problem because the trees are falling down from the English Ivy infestation. The problem is on at least ten trees.
    A

    AmTide MSM 60 DF Herbicide is not labeled for English Ivy. Using a product such as Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer would be a better option for a broad range of target weeds, vines, and woody brush. 

     For best results when treating vines such as poison oak, poison ivy, etc. that grow on or around desirable plants, cut the vine first and treat by applying undiluted product directly to the stems of the vine using paint brush to get full coverage. 

    As a foliar treatment, mix 8-16 tablespoons per gallon of water for every 500 sq.

    Q
    Will AmTide MSM 60 DF Herbicide kill Chameleon plants?
    A

    AmTide MSM 60 DF Herbicide is not labeled for chameleon plants.  There is nothing labeled for this invasive ground cover and even non-selective herbicides do not seem to be very effective in getting rid of this pesky invader. You could try a combination of soil sterilants and a non-selective herbicide in that area to try to control the plant but we cannot guarantee it will work. It is important to note that nothing will be able to grow in this area for at least a year after an application of a soil sterilant and that if you are treating on an incline the soil sterilant could travel through the soil and kill desirable nearby plants.

    Q
    Can I use Amtide to control dollar weed and violets on my St. Augustine lawn in Southwest Florida?
    A

    Amtide MSM 60 DF can be applied to St Augustine though you should note some chlorosis or stunting of the turfgrass may occur following the application. Amtide is labeled to control dollarweed though a second application may be required after 4-6 week for complete control. Amtide is not labeled to control violets. The only selective herbicide that can be used on St Augustine and is labeled for both violets and dollarweed that comes to mind is Image 70DG.

    Q
    Does Amtide MSM drift bad? I'm worried about roses and other flowers but my yard is almost solid we have to do
    A

    The drift from using AmTide MSM 60 DF Herbicide depends on the type of equipment and application you are doing as well as the wind on the treatment day.  Care should be taken to direct treatment towards the target areas and apply when there is no wind to prevent drift.

    Q
    Will AmTide MSM 60DF kill Pilea Microphylla? At what mix ratio?
    Tampa FL area
    A

    AmTide MSM 60 DF Herbicide is not labeled for artillery fern and we are unable to find a product that is labeled for it.  A glyphosate based product like RoundUp QuickPro might kill it as is it a non-selective herbicide that generally kills anything to which it is applied.

    Q
    Can AmTide MSM 60 DF Herbicide be used on Floratam St. Augustine grass?
    A

    AmTide MSM 60 DF Herbicide has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available. Herbicides with the active ingredient Atrazine are the most common way to treat actively growing weeds in sensitive turf types sucha as St. Augustine & Centipede lawns, Floratam varieties being even more sensitiive. We recommend doing a test application before applying over the entire lawn or contacting your county extension office for recommendations for the region. 

    Always mix according to the label instructions and follow application procedures to prevent damage to your lawn. Popular post emergent herbicides labeled for St. Augustine lawns are below.
