I have jamur zoysia that was sprigged a little over 6 weeks ago and I have recently used drive to hit the crab grass. I am starting to see a good bit of goosegrass and was wondering how soon I can apply acclaim and if I should aim for the 28 oz/acre limit or aim lower since the grass is recently sprigged. The goose grass is in the 2 to 4 tiller range.
Acclaim Extra Herbicide may be applied to newly plugged zoysiagrass, per the product label. Broadleaf herbicides such as 2,4-D or MCPP may reduce the effectiveness of Acclaim Extra Herbicide. Do not apply Acclaim Extra within 21 days following a 2,4-D or MCPP application, or 5 days before a 2,4-D or MCPP application. There are no restrictions for use with other grass killers such as Drive XLR8, however, we would recommend testing a small area before treating the whole yard if you are using these two products at the same time or within a few days of one another to be sure there is not extra sensitivity in your desired turfgrass. Acclaim will be most successful on goosegrass when it is newly emerged in the 1 to 2 leaf stages. You can retreat at 14-21 day intervals through the growing season without exceeding 10 applications per growing season.
