    Q
    Will my dog be harmed if she eats grass treated with Tenacity Herbicide ?
    A

    Once the application of Tenacity Herbicide has had time to dry it is safe for pets and children to reenter the treated area. Typically after 4-6 hours.  The small amount of active left is not enough to injure a dog that may eat the rass.

    Q
    When should I apply Tenacity to newly planted Buffalograss?
    We planted Buffalograss 10 days ago and it is starting to sprout, along with some pesky weeds. Is it safe to apply Tenacity now, or should we give the Buffalograss more time to mature? If so, how much longer?
    A
    According to the Tenacity product label for New Lawn Establishment: Wait until the newly germinated turf has been mowed two times or four weeks after emergence(whichever is longer) before making a postemergence application.

    Q
    Can Tenacity Herbicide be used to control Goosegrass on Bermuda?
    A

  • Asked by Sylvia from Nashville, Tn
    09/29/2016
    Q
    How long after Tenacity application can I seed with an annual rye?
    I see instruction for perennial rye but not annual. I have decided to switch to Bermuda next year so a temporary rye lawn would be best for me this winter but I've already treated with Tenacity twice. How long until I can seed annual Rye? Or not at all?
    A

    When using Tenacity Herbicide there should be no issue with planting annual rye seed after using it. Per the product label you would want to apply either at seeding or close to it for the best performance.

    Q
    Can I use Tenacity in CT now?
    Here in Connecticut, can I apply Tenacity while the grass is still dormant and temps are in the 50's?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide can be used if weeds are actively growing for post emergent control as long as the soil temperature is 55 degrees Fahrenheit. This product can also be used for pre-emergent control right now once the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to water the product in at least 1/2 inch after a pre-emergent application to ensure the product gets down into the soil.

  • Asked by Matt from Greenville, Nc

    Q
    How can I kill crabgrass in Centipedegrass?
    I have centipede grass in Eastern NC and a real problem with crabgrass. I've tried atrazine but have had no luck. Trying to stay away from quinclorac as everything I read says not to use in centipede lawns. Is there anything I cant get that will kill it- post emergent. Once we get to dormancy this winter (January) I plan on putting down prodiamine to hopefully combat it from a pre emergent stance.
    A

    As you probably know, Centipedegrass is a very sensitive species of turf so many products that eliminate the crabgrass and other weeds can also cause damage to your lawn. Tenacity is a great pre- and post-emergent herbicide that will control crabgrass along with many other types of weeds without harming your centipede lawn. Make sure to read the Tenacity label very carefully and mix exactly what is recommended as this is a strong product and mis-using it can cause temporary turf injury. When applying Tenacity it is highly recommended to use a temporary turf colorant like Turf Mark Blue to allow you to see where you are spraying. Overlapping your application of Tenacity can cause temporary whitening of the lawn as well, but the color will return in 3-4 weeks at most. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Scot from Harrisburg, Pa
    06/13/2018
    Q
    Did I just kill my garden plants by spraying them with Tenacity Herbicide?
    I have a lot of ornamental (sea) grasses, and just sprayed Tenacity over all my beds, in an effort to suppress an overgrowth of weeds. I also have seedling Crepe Myrtle bushes. Should I be worried, and is there anything that will counter-act Tenacity on a mis-sprayed plant?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide should not be used around or on desirable ornamentals and/or trees or used within 3 feet of trees or ornamentals.  Unfortunately, there is not a product that can be used to reverse the effects of the Tenacity sprayed on intolerant plants.

  • Asked by Nike from Michigan
    08/06/2018
    Q
    Will Tenacity Herbicide affect any other cool season grasses?
    I sprayed to kill bentgrass and it has worked but I believe it turned some of my other grass, like fescue white as well.
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide 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.
