    Q
    What is the differance between all of these herbicides like Tenacity Herbicide and Round Up?
    A

    Roundup products contain glyphosate which is non selective so kills pretty much anything that it is applied to.  Selective herbicides like Tenacity Herbicide only kills those weeds that are listed on the product label and are generally safe for use on turfgrass.

    Q

    My yard is being overtaken with Creeping Charlie and wild violets (along with numerous other weeds). Thought if I applied this now, in the spring I could re-seed

  • Asked by Ray
    03/30/2020
    Q
    I applied Tenacity on my turf grass during the first week of March. At least 90% of the lawn is light yellow
    In color 3 weeks later. How long would it be before turf returns to green? I live in NJ.
    A
    Yellowing or whitening of the turf after a broadcast application of Tenacity Herbicide is caused by the loss of chlorophyll. The product label states, "Tenacity may cause temporary whitening of turfgrass foliage. In general, symptoms appear five to seven days after application and last for several weeks. A repeat application to the same site causes less whitening of the plant tissue."

    Is Tenacity good for treating quackgrass? This perennial plant is a nuisance here in New England.
