    Q
    Can I use 1 1/2 gallons diesel to 8 oz. of Crossbow, to kill tree stumps after they are cut down?
    A

    Per the Crossbow product label: To prevent or control regrowth from cut stumps, mix 4 gallons of Crossbow in diesel oil, No 1 or No 2 fuel oil or kerosent to make 100 gallons of spray mixture.

    This breaks down to about 5.12 oz of Crossbow per gallon. So for 1 1/2 gallons you would use approx 10.24 oz of Crossbow

    Q
    Will Crossbow kill moss in yard or on asphalt?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide will not control moss on any surface.  For moss in the yard you could use Lilly Miller Moss Out for Lawns.  For the asphalt you would use Lilly Miller Moss Out Heavy Duty Cleaner.  Unfortunately there is not one product that could control moss in both areas.

    Q
    How many ounces of Crossbow Herbicide would I use for dandelions in a perennial rye, fescues and possibly bluegrass lawn?
    Without harming lawn. This is actually a baseball field. Can I use a hose end sprayer? Large area. Oregon!
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled to be applied to lawns.  Q4 would be a better option that is labeled to control dandelion and can be used on turf areas around sport facilities.  It would be applied at a rate of 2.6 - 3 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. (7 - 8 pints per acre).  Please refer to the product label for complete instructions.

    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide kill established centipede grass?
    A

    Crossbow is not supposed to harm established grasses, according to the manufacturer.  This being said, we always recommend treating a small area first to test the results especially with a sensitve grass species like centipede.  As long as your grass is not stressed by drought and it is healthy the grass should not be harmed.
