    Anytime you use a Glyphosate-based product such as Rodeo Herbicide you want to give at least 2 weeks before planting anything new to allow the glyphosate adaquate time to break down in the soil.

    Q
    Will Rodeo Herbicide kill douglas iris?
    A

    While Rodeo is not labeled to control Douglas iris, being a glyphosate-based product it possibly could.  We are unable to find any product listed to kill this plant specifically, but any glyphosate product is non-selective and would affect plants treated with it.

  • Asked by Dorene from Canon City, Colorado

    Q
    What temperature is best for the use of Rodeo Herbicide? Is it better to cut willows so the product can absorb better?
    I live where the spring temp's are cold the days can be 70 one day or 30 the next day. Does this effect the product? I was told by my extension agency it is better to cut the willows and then right away spray Rodeo on the ends before the cut seals.
    A

    If you already have the Rodeo Herbicide you can certainly use that product to kill trees. You would want to use the product undiluted and paint or spray it just as your local agency suggested, immediately after cutting it down to a fresh stump. Depending on the size of the tree and its root system, you may have to do a follow up application after a few weeks. You should not use herbicides when temperatures are near or below freezing; post-emergent herbicides like Rodeo will work best when plants are actively growing.

    Q
    What is the mix rate for Rodeo Herbicide when using it as a replacement for Roundup?
    I want to use this as a replacement for store-bought roundup, but am confused about mix rates for a pumpup or backpack sprayer. I want to use for nuisance weed control around ornamentals and trees- dandelion, thistle, etc- as well as invasive creeping charlie and garlic mustard etc. Also, how much surfactant should I use? Thanks!
    A

    You will use 2 2/3 fl. oz. of Rodeo Herbicide per gallon of water. You can use about 1/3 fl. oz. of Kinetic Nonionic Surfactant.

  • Asked by Clint from Hampstead, Nh
    11/06/2016
    Q
    Will spraying weeds now with Rodeo Herbicide prevent weed growth come spring?
    The water is let down on our lake in Oct for winter, exposing all the lake weeds and making them much more accessible...but the weeds have all now gone dormant. Will spraying the weeds now have any effective kill come spring? The lake will fill with water once again come April. Would an application of Rodeo be more advisable in early April before the water rises, or does the weed killer really only work on active growing green plants?
    A

    No, Rodeo Herbicide will only kill actively growing weeds and will not stay in the soil until Spring.

  • Asked by Tammy from Medford
    11/14/2016
    Q
    How do I use Rodeo Herbicide with Crossbow?
    A

    Just to be clear, Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled for aquatic use like the Rodeo Herbicide is. So if you are using this in or around water where you would have run off we would not recommend mixing these two products. If not then you would mix them at 1 1/3 - 5 1/3 oz of Crossbow per gallon of water, and 2 2/3 oz of Rodeo per gallon. We always recommend you do a small treatment area to be sure that these combined products will not cause any damage.

    Q
    How far away should well water be from a lake area treated with Rodeo Herbicide?
    A

    The product label for Rodeo Herbicide does not list specific drinking well restrictions, so we would recommend avoiding application in a way that would directly contact a drinking well, as well as keeping applications at least 15 feet from a drinking well.

    Q
    Can you start the application of Rodeo Herbicide in the spring on phragmites or do you have to wait till late summer?
    Just looking for the most effective time to apply. Some sites mention waiting until late summer, but I'd like to start as the plants emerge because they are easier to access. I'm in Virginia off the Chesapeake on a tidal river. Thanks for your help.
    A

    It is recommended to use Rodeo Herbicide to control phragmites in the late summer when the plants are actively growing and in full bloom.
