    Q
    Will MSM Turf Herbicide kill bamboo tree?
    A

    MSM Turf Herbicide is not labeled to kill bamboo. In general, bamboo is extremely difficult to control. You can use Round Up QuickPro at the highest listed usage rate to help eliminate bamboo. You will be required to cut the bamboo down to a short stump as level with the ground as you can,  and then immediately apply the Round Up QuickPro. It can take several applications to achieve the desired results since bamboo roots go several feet down in the ground and can grow so quickly.

    Q
    Can MSM Turf Herbicide be tank mixed with Drive XLR8 for a blanket application?
    A

    We recommend doing a Compatibility Test in small glass jar to test if MSM Turf Herbicide and Drive XLR8 are compatible before tank mixing. If there are signs of clumping or separation, do not tank mix these together and separate applications would be needed. 

    Before blanket spraying the tank mix combination, spot treat a small area of grass for tolerance since the turf will be more stressed in summer.When tank mixing, always follow the most restrictive product label for tank mixing instructions.

    Q
    Can I use MSM Turf on St. Augustine Grass to get rid of Virginia buttonweed and when it be sprayed?
    A

    MSM Turf Herbicide is safe to use on St. Augustine grass and is labeled to control seedling Virginia Buttonweed, but only suppress the more mature plants - repeat applications may be required in 4 to 6 weeks.  This basically means that it is more likely to kill newer growth, but will have a tougher time killing the more established Virgina Buttonweeds.  Best to start treatments when it just starts to emerge and is young

  • Asked by Tyrone from Prattville, Al
    12/05/2021
    Q
    I have acre to spray with a 25 gal tow behind sprayer. How MSM I need to use also do it work BASF Drive XLR8?
    A

    The MSM Turf Herbicide should not be mixed with Drive XLR8 or most other herbicides. Per the MSM Turf Herbicide Product Label: "Allow one week between the application of MSM Turf Herbicide and other pesticide products." Drive also requires the use of an MSO surfactant, whereas the MSM needs either a non ionic surfactant, or no surfactant at all to reduce any chance of burning or discoloration at the time of use. 

    In regards to use rates, per the Product Label: "St. Augustinegrass, Bermudagrass and Zoysiagrass (Meyers and Emerald): Apply 0.25 to 1.0 oz of MSM Turf Herbicide per acre for weed control. Some chlorosis or stunting of the turfgrass may occur following application."    This means you would mix somewhere between 0.25 oz and 1 oz at the highest rate per 25 gallons of water, if that 25 gallons covers 1 acre. If the turfgrass is stressed you would want to start with lower use rates to avoid excessive discoloration on the lawn.

  • Asked by Don from Jax Beach
    12/31/2021
    Q
    Can MSM Turf Herbicide be used on St. Augustine to treat woodsorrel, bermudagrass and nutsedge?
    A

    MSM Turf Herbicide is labeled for wood sorrel and is safe to use on St. Augustine grass.  It is not labeled to control nutsedge so we would recommend using a product such as Sedgehammer to treat for nutsedge. For bermudagrass in St. Augustine, there is not a selective herbicide that would kill the bermudagrass without also injuring the St. Augustine. It is recommended to spot treat areas of bermudagrass with a glyphosate herbicide such as Roundup and then reseeding/resodding any bare spots after 2 weeks.

    Do not make applications in Spring if your turfgrass is transitioning in or out of dormacy. Allow for complete green up and apply in Summer, Fall and Winter only.
