    Q
    I have Caviler Zoysia, Bermuda and St Augustine around my yard in Texas. What will kill stubborn clover & weed
    I have one patch of Bermuda/St Augustine mix, where my Bermuda is being infiltrated from my neighbors St Augustine. The general weeds aren't too bad there. I have another section of Bermuda that seems like there is some Zoysia mixed in. This is where I have a lot of clover, both yellow Oxalis and the white variety. These are currently my problem area's. The other half of my lawn, 1 side & the rear is newly planted Caviler Zoysia sod, currently no weeds. My interest in the Southern version of Speedzone was to find something that could eventually work on them all but you don't ship to Texas. Do you offer a product that is safe for each situation that you can ship to Texas?
    A

    One option for great post-emergent control of broadleaf weeds like clover and oxalis in established turfgrass is Fertilome Weed Free Zone. Weed Free Zone is similar to Speedzone, and it is safe to use on St Augustine as long as you do not have Bitterblue or Floratam. For the new sod, we recommend that it is well established (usually after about 4 weeks or the second mowing, whichever is longer) before applying herbicides such as Speedzone or Weed Free Zone.

    Another great option for a variety of weeds on warm-season turf is Blindside Herbicide.

    Q
    What will kill Dollarweed in a St Augustine Florida lawn?
    A
    Speedzone Southern is labeled for Dollarweed and for use on St Augustine grass. According to the Speedzone Southern product label: The turf tolerance to this product may vary and temporary turf grass yellowing may occur on St Augustine. Do not apply Speedzone Southern to Floratam, Bitterblue or other improved species of St Augustine. Do not broadcast or spot spray St Augustine during the fall to winter transition or if temperatures are expected to fall below 40F within 10 days of the application.

    Please take a few moments to read through the product label completely for full instructions and other precautions.

  • Asked by Sean from Fairburn, Ga
    04/28/2021
    Q
    Can SpeedZone Southern Herbicide be tank mixed with Image Herbicide to kill crabgrass?
    A

    Tank mixing is not recommended unless your experience indicates that the tank mxture will not result in turf injury. When tank mixing certain herbicides with other selective herbicides, surfactants, etc, this can reduce the selectivity of the herbicide resulting in injurying or killing the grass. We recommend doing a small compatibility test in a glass jar to ensure the two herbicides mix properly and then do a small test application in the lawn to determine sensitivity. Do not broadcast over the lawn without doing a test application first.

  • Asked by Mary from Fort Walton Beach, Fl
    05/03/2017
    Q
    Can I use SpeedZone Southern Herbicide on my St Augustine lawn that has been invaded by Oxalis?
    It has a purple flower. Speedzone seems to injure oxalis, but it's still popping up. I've not used dish soap in the past - is it okay to add to Speedzone to make it stick better?
    A

    Per the label instructions for SpeedZone Southern Herbicide it is not necessary to add any type of adjuvant to SpeedZone Southern as it is already designed for rapid penetration and uptake.  All adjuvants including surfactants, spreader stickers, detergents etc. will change the physical and biological properties of this product, which are often antagonistic, and show no significant influence on efficacy. SpeedZone Southern Herbicide is a post emergent which will kill the weeds that have emerged, it will not prevent weeds from growing.

    Q
    Obnoxious Onion Weed...HELP!
    I've finally identified that I have onion weed. I get more and more every year. I continue to dig it out right down to the bulb(s) but it continues to get worse. I've used Roundup on it but it doesn't seem to do anything. It is confined to my flower beds and not in the lawn. I don't mind having to lose some plants in the process of killing it but the onion weed has got to go!
    A
    SpeedZone covers wild onion as well as hundreds of other broadleaf weeds infesting your lawn. Refer to the product label for instructions on dilutions for your lawn type

    Q
    If newly laid sod turns brown from SpeedZone Southern spray, will the sod live or should I replace it?
    A

    SpeedZone Southern Herbicide should not be applied to newly laid sod until it has been mowed at least twice or has been 30 days since installed as it can inhibit the growth and establishment if applied too soon.  Only time will tell if the sod will survive or should be replaced.

    Q
    Can you add a pre-emergent to SpeedZone Southern Herbicide?
    And Sedgehammer for nutsedge?
    A

    You can mix and apply other herbicides with SpeedZone Southern Herbicide as long as you first perform a small jar test for compatability. You also need to be sure to follow the most restrictive label when mixing products, and be sure that you are using the correct rates for each product. Keep in mind, also, that pre-emergent herbicides will need to be watered in with rainfall or irrigation within the amount of time specified on the label, while a post-emergent like the SpeedZone Southern should have at least 24 hours without rainfall or irrigation for best results.

    Please note that Speedzone Southern has been discontinued and replaced with Speedzone Southern Herbicide EW.
