If Blindside Herbicide WDG were sprayed in a way where there could be overspray or runoff to desirable ornamental plants nearby, then those plants could potentially be injured. Unfortunately, we do not have a way to tell you for certain what may be ailing your tree. We recommend reaching out to an arborist in your area if you need help assessing your trees.
Yes, Blindside Herbicide WDG is labeled for control of ground ivy. Please refer to page 3 of the product label for application rates based on your type of turfgrass.
Blindside Herbicide WDG is labeled for use on St. Augustine grass, and the label does not exclude any specific cultivars and bermudagrass. If there is discoloration after applying Blindside, established turf will generally recover well. As with all herbicides, you should not apply to turf that is under stress from extreme heat, drought, disease, or other similar situations. It is recommended to apply Blindside at temperatures less than 85 degrees.
Please view the product label for application rates and more information.
In terms of dry ounces, there are approximately 0.18 dry ounces in 1 teaspoon however this can be difficult to properly measure.
Application rates are the following:
Cool Season grasses: 0.075 - 0.15 per 1,000 sq. ft. (3.25 - 6.5 oz. per acre) Warm Season Grasses: 0.15 - 0.23 per 1,000 sq. ft. (6.5 - 10 oz. per acre).
Blindside Herbicide WDG should only be applied to established listed turf that has been mowed a few times. Fall pre-emergents applied help with the poa annua seen in the spring but should not be applied when your overseeding.
We would not recommend applying Blindside Herbicide WDG during winter months as the temperatures are not warm enough for the herbicide to be effective or absorbed.
Blindside WDG being a post emergent should be applied when temperatures are between 65 to 85 degrees. If you really would like to treat now, you can use Roundup products to spot treat the actively growing weeds on your dormant grass.
Blindside Herbicide WDG is not labeled for dallisgrass.
We would recommend Certainty Herbicide, as it is labeled to suppress dallisgrass and is safe to use on St. Augustine grass.
We would recommend using the higher rate of .23 oz of Blindside Herbicide WDG to treat poa annua in zoysia. It is only labeled to suppress poa annua so will take multiple applications to completely control.
Blindside Herbicide WDG does not list cupgrass on its label. Depending on the area you are treating Fusilade II Turf and Ornamental herbicide is an option to treat for cupgrass species listed on the label.
