When using Tenacity Herbicide a broadcast application would be considered spraying over the entire lawn area. A spot treatment is used when you only have certain spots or areas that need to be treated versus the entire lawn. For most post-emergent applications with Tenacity, you will just spot treat to avoid whitening the desirable turf. Please follow the specific directions on the product label for your needs.
Since quackgrass is not on the label to be controlled by the Tenacity, we cannot recommend you use it for this application. We do, however, carry Certainty, which is a selective post-emergent herbicide like Tenacity, that does have Quackgrass listed on the label under weeds controlled. You can see the dilutions and what grasses are tolerant of Certainty on the product label.
No, Tenacity Herbicide is not labeled for spurge.
Tenacity Herbicide should be applied at grass seeding or close to seeding for best results. If you are not close, meaning within a week of application, then you would need to wait 6-8 weeks to re-seed.
Per the manufacturer, " Tenacity has been tested in tank mixtures with Barricade 65WG Herbicide (prodiamine), Vanquish® (dicamba), Turflon® ester (triclopyr), Spotlight™ (fluroxypyr), Quicksilver™ (carfentrazone), Basagran® (bentazon), Princep® (simazine), and AAtrex® (atrazine) for safety and efficacy on turfgrasses. Tenacity must be applied at reduced rates (4 fl. oz./A or less) if tank mixed with atrazine, bentazon or simazine. Other tank mixture partners may be safe but have not been tested. Turf managers wanting to tank mix Tenacity with other herbicides should test on a small basis for compatibility, safety and efficacy before treating large areas. See product labels for directions and precautions."

Tenacity Herbicide is not labeled to control orchardgrass. Unfortunately, we do not know of any selective herbicide that will kill orchardgrass without harming your desirable turfgrass. It is usually recommended to spot treat the orchard grass as much as possible with a non-selective product like RoundUp QuikPro, and then replant in those areas in a couple of weeks when the orchard grass is gone.
Tenacity Herbicide states on the product label: Avoid applications over the top of exposed roots of trees and ornamentals. Just about all herbicides are going to have the restriction that applications should be kept out of the dripline of desirable trees. The best you could do is carefully spot treat the weeds themselves and not broadcast in these areas.
Tenacity Herbicide is not an organic pesticide. Organic pesticides are made from naturally occurring ingredients. Non-organic pesticides are created synthetically.
