    Q
    Is Certainty Herbicide - 1.25 oz. a good product to kill poa annua in TTTF?
    Or is there so such thing available?
    A

    While, Certainty Herbicide is labeled to treat Poa Annua, it will also kill your Fescue lawn.  There are few products that we are aware of that will kill the poa annua without also harming the fescue. The only ones we are currently aware of are called Prograss or Xonerate which are both very expensive. Your other options would be to either spot-treat with a Roundup-type product and then reseed with the fescue in those areas, or you can use a preemergent such as Pendulum in the fall to prevent the poa from growing in the first place

    Q
    Is Certainty Herbicide - 1.25 oz. labeled to be used on Turf Type Tall Fescue to treat for quackgrass?
    A

    Certainty is labeled to control quackgrass and but is not labeled for your tall fescue. Unfortunately, there is not a product that will kill quackgrass without also killing the tall fescue. The best treatment is spot treating with a glyphosate product like Roundup QuickPro and then reseeding after 2 weeks.

    Q
    Can I use Certainty on a veggie garden after the season ends?
    A

    Certainty Herbicide is labeled only for use in turfgrasses and is not labeled to be used in or around edibles and would not be used in areas you plant to plant vegetables.  An alternative would be to use a non selective like Roundup/glyphosate or natural option like Avenger.

    Q
    How long do I need to wait to apply Certainty Herbicide to newly sodded St. Augustine to treat for nutsedge?
    How to kill
    A

    Certainty Herbicide should only be applied after the sod has been established and mowed at least 2-3 times or 30 days has passed.

    For Sedge Control, you will apply this product at 1.25 ounces per acre after weeds have reached the 3- to 8-leaf stage of growth. A sequential application of 1.25 ounces per acre may be made 4 or more weeks after the initial treatment.

    Please review the product label for more information.

    Q
    Is it too late to apply Certainty to overseeded centipede that's springing up?
    I have newly overseeded centipede growing on an established lawn to thicken my centipede lawn. It sprung up this week. Is it too late to apply Certainty for Poa annua? If so, how long do I need to wait before using Certainty?
    A

    Certainty is a post emergent product that can be applied to actively growing weeds. For the best timing on when to apply this in your specific region, we would suggest contacting your Master Gardener at your local cooperative extension office. This product may be applied once the grass that you overseeded is established typically after mowing least 2-3 times or at least 30 days.  Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.

    Q
    Can I use Certainty Herbicide in North Illinois?
    I currently have a mix of KBG and tall Fescue. Will this harm my lawn? I have a combination of nuts edge and Quackgrass spreading really fast.
    A

    Certainty is only for use on warm season turfgrass.  

    For nutsedge and other listed weeds on the label, Dismiss Turf is a great option

    Unfortunately, we do not currently carry any products that are labeled for quackgrass that are safe for use in your Kentucky Blue or Fescue  grass. We would recommend spot treating with something like Roundup QuikPRO and reseeding the areas. Becareful to avoid getting the product on desirable grass. If most of the lawn has been affected by quackgrass, the only sure fire way to get rid of it is to spray the entire lawn with Roundup. Spray when the lawn is growing actively, preferably in the spring. The treatment will kill the lawn grass as well as the quackgrass. After about two weeks, you may begin the replanting.

    Q
    Will Certainty Herbicide kill dallisgrass in my centipede lawn?
    A

    Certainty Herbicide is both safe for use on Centipede grass lawns, and can be used to control dallisgrass. Dallisgrass is a difficult plant to control and multiple applications will be required to see complete kill. Most reapplications take place about 2-3 weeks apart.

  • Asked by Matthew from Dallas

    Q
    What post emergent herbicide is recommended for dallisgrass in bermuda and zoysia lawns? Certainty did not provide satisfactory results.
    A

    Unfortunately, there are very limited options for post-emergent control of dallisgrass in residential lawns. Certainty Herbicide is the only selective herbicide approved for residential lawns to treat dallisgrass however it is only labeled for suppression and not for control. A non ionic surfactant should be used with Certainty and you will have to make multiple applications to see results. 

    We recommend using a pre-emergent containing the active ingredient dithiopyr to prevent new dallisgrass, such as Dimension 2EW or Crew Specialty Herbicide.

    Q
    Will Certainty Herbicide kill quackgrass that is mixed in with ryegrass and turf type tall fescue? I have clay soil and bare spots that harbor moss.
    Should I consider killing off the lawn since it is overrun with quackgrass then till in topsoil, compost and do a Soil Test?
    A

    Certainty Herbicide is only labeled to suppress or partially control quackgrass so it would not fully control it. A Non Ionic Surfactant is suggest to add to the tank mix for best results.  

    Also, Certainty is primarily for Warm Season Turfgrasses and labeled to kill tall fescue and perennial ryegrass in warm season lawns.

    Q
    Will Certainty kill unwanted Kentucky Bluegrass without hurting Perennial Ryegrass?
    I sprayed entire back yard with Roundup to kill the hodgepodge of grass and weeds that were present. I'm certain that somehow, the Kentucky Blluegrass has returned! I have already reseeded with Perennial Ryegrass. I am sick about this. HELP PLEASE
    A

    Certainty Herbicide is not for use on cool season turf like Kentucky Bluegrass and Ryegrass, it is only labeled for use on warm season turf.  Unfortunately the only option to remove Kentucky Bluegrass would be to spot treat with a glyphosate or other non selective herbicide and then reseed the treated areas 2 weeks after the last application.

    Q
    Can I tank mix Certainly and Image Kills Nutsedge together and apply as a spot spray poa annua (annual bluegrass) and winter broadleaf weeds?
    A

    Certainty Herbicide can be tank mixed with other herbicides such as Image Kills Nutsedge as long as they're compatible. We recommend doing a small jar test to be sure and as long as they are compatible and the use of a surfactant does not affect your treatment it will be fine.

    View the individual product labels for tank mixing/compatibility test instructions.

    Q
    Does Certainty Herbicide kill poa trivialis in lawns located in New Jersey?
    A

    Certainty Herbicide is only labeled for warm season turfgrass and would injure cool season turfgrasses. Unfortunately, since poa trivialis is also a cool season grass, there is not a selective herbicide that would kill the poa trivialis without also killing the desirable turf. 

    Spot treating the poa trivialis with a non selective glyphosate product such as Roundup QuickPRO would be recommended. Any bare spots in the lawn can be reseeded after 2 weeks if needed.
