Crossbow Herbicide has a mix rate from 1 - 4 gallons per 100 gallons of water. Depending on the target weed and the emulsion strength (1%, 1.5% or 4%) that you are needing for you treatment, you would need 2 to 8 gallons of Crossbow Herbicide to fill your 200 gallon sprayer. Please refer to the Mixing Directions Table on Page 6 of the product label.
Per the Crossbow Herbicide SDS, it will cause mild irritation or allergic skin reaction. Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
Yes, Crossbow Herbicide can be used to kill dormant blackberry bushes and vines. You would apply to thoroughly wet upper and lower stems including the root collar and any ground sprouts. Treat at any time when the brush is dormant and the bark is dry. Best results have been obtained with late winter to early spring applications. Do not treat when snow or water prevent spraying to the ground line. You will use 1.5 gals./acre broadcast application or 1 to 1.5% mixture. Please refer to the product label for complete mixing and application instructions.
Crossbow Herbicide is rainfast in 2 hours so would be fine after that time, but would be best to apply when rain is not expected within 24 hours.
Crossbow Herbicide should not be applied before a rain, but is rainfast in 6 hours and it would be recommended to be applied when rain is not expected within 24 hours of application for best results.
Crossbow Herbicide should not harm benefical insects as long as they are not spray directly. We would recommend spraying when they are not in the area, early morning or late evening when they are less active.
Crossbow Herbcide is a post-emergent herbcide and will only kill the weeds that are actively growing at the time of application. If there are weeds under the soil that have not germinated yet, those weeds will not be affected by Crossbow. To treat weeds that are in the soil that have not germinated, you would need to use a pre-emergent in the spring/late fall before the soil temps reach 55 degrees. Another option is to continue to treat with Crossbow as the weeds emerge.
We would not recommend spraying the Asiatic jasmine with Crossbow Herbicide because it will likely harm that as well.
You will need to wait at least 3 weeks before replanting in areas where Crossbow Herbicide has been applied
Yes, Crossbow and Ranger Pro can be mixed in the same tank. You will mix the rates according to the targeted weeds etc.
Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled to treat for Crabgrass. We would recommend a product like Drive XLR8 depending on what type of lawn you have.
Crossbow Herbicide would be best applied to the cut stump after cutting the trees down and will not actually kill mature trees without doing so.
You can use Crossbow Herbicide in any area you have weeds that need to be controlled that are listed in use areas on the label. The sun does not have to be hitting the areas you spray in order for the product to work the way its designed as long as the mix rates are followed correctly.
Crossbow Herbicide will stay in the soil and could harm edibles for 1 year. We would recommend to wait at least 1 year to plant a garden in an area where Crossbow was used.
Very small quantities of spray, which may not be visible, may seriously injure susceptible plants; however, Fir and Cedar trees are not listed on the label as either tolerant or suseptible. We recommend to avoid overspray or spray drift to ensure the trees are not affected.
Please review the Avoid Injurious Spray Drift section on the Crossbow Herbicide prodcut label.
