    Q
    What is the broadest post-emergent selective herbicide safe for bermuda grass usage?
    We purchased a home and have a large variety of weeds(grassy and broadleaf) throughout the lawn (assuming no pre-emergent was placed in the fall). What is the broadest post-emergent selective herbicide for bermuda grass usage? I have placed Dimension down as a pre-emergent for the coming months. Would a mixture of Dyneamic Surfactant, Drive XLR8, and TriadSelect work and provide a broad range of coverage? I can then further purchase specified herbicide for any remaining weeds. Our lawn is about 12000 sqft. Thank you!
    A

    Yes, you could potentially mix Drive XLR8, Triad Select, and a surfactant to control both broadleaf and grassy weeds in your lawn. You may want to test a small area for turf tolerance if this is your first time making that application. You want to be especially careful if the Bermuda is in transition for Spring greenup since it will be more vulnerable during this time. Another option would be to use one product that has multiple active ingredients. Solitare contains quinclorac (Drive) and sulfentrazone (Dismiss) to target grassy weeds, broadleaf, and sedges.

    Q
    Will Solitare Herbicide kill mugwart root?
    If not can you advise on what will. I have a bad infestation of it.
    A

    No, Solitare Herbicide is not labeled for mugwort root. 

    Pasture Pro is a good product that is labeled for mugwort and can be used in your lawn and/or on pastures. Please check the label with regards to the type of turf you have and if the product can be used there.

    Q
    How long after I apply Solitare Herbicide can I fertilize?
    A

    There is not a specific time you must wait for the Solitare Herbicide to completely dry before applying most fertilizers. If you are using a granule fertilizer that needs to be watered in, then we recommend waiting at least 24 hours after using your herbicide so that you do not remove the Solitare application.

    You may also be able to mix your fertilizer and herbicide together. Solitare Herbicide has been found to be compatible with most herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and growth regulators commonly used in turf and ornamental plant management. However, when preparing a new tank mix conduct an appropriate compatibility test by mixing proportional amounts of all spray ingredients in a test vessel (jar) prior to tank mixing with other products. Shake mixture vigorously and allow it to stand for five to ten minutes. Rapid precipitations of the ingredients and failure to re-suspend when shaken indicates that the mixture is incompatible and should not be applied. 

    If you perform a compatibility test and have no issues, then you can mix a liquid fertilizer with it.

    Q
    How many ounces of liquid Solitaire should I use for 4 gallons of solution in a back pack sprayer?
    A

    You will need to use .367 - .735 ounces of Solitare Herbicide per 1,000 square feet. To calibrate your equipment, for example, a 1 gallon sprayer, mark off an area of 1,000 square feet, and cover that area at your normal pace as evenly as possible. If you used the enitre gallon, you would use the recommended amount of product in 1 gallon of water. From there you will convert your formulation to your 4 gallon backpack sprayer for your treatment. Please let us know if you need further information.

  • Asked by Jay from Knoxville, Tn

    Q
    How to use Solitare Herbicide in a one gallon spray unit?
    A

    You will need to use .367 - .735 oz Solitare Herbicide per 1,000 sq feet. The exact amount of water use will nto be important. As long as the amount of active ingredient is spread equally over that area the amount of water is not important.  To calibrate your equipment, for example, a 1 gallon sprayer, mark off an area of 1,000 square feet, and cover that area at your normal pace as evenly as possible. If you used the entire gallon, you would use the recommended amount of product in 1 gallon of water. Herbicide labels can be very hard to read and never tell you an amount of water.  This is because the amount of water doesn't really matter, or actually it would be different for everybody.

  • Asked by Brenda
    08/07/2019
    Q
    Will Solitare Herbicide hurt pets to eat grass after it is dry?
    A

    Solitare Herbicide is safe for pets after the product has dried, typically 4-6 hours after. Keep pets and children out the area to be treated during the application. Please follow the label instructions for details on your treatment. 

    The small amount of active left behind would not be enough to harm a pet if they eat treated grass, we would be more concerned with them eating the grass itself.
