  • Asked by Henry from Schenectady, New York
    10/12/2018
    Q
    Can Tenacity Herbicide be applied with a hose-end sprayer?
    A

    It is not recommended to use a hose-end sprayer to treat your lawn with Tenacity Herbicide or any other herbicide. The problem with using hose-end sprayers is that they are not very accurate and you can wind up dispensing more or less product than recommended per area and that can lead to less than desirable results.

    Q
    Can Tenacity be applied to Kentucky Bluegrass to control invasive fescue?
    I had some bugs and or mold kill small patches of the lawn. Fescue grew in and filled those bare spots. Will tenacity kill the invasive fescue? Can Tenacity be applied in the winter or fall as a pre-emergent?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide is labeled for use on Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, Centipedegrass, Buffalograss, Perennial Ryegrass, Fine Fescue, St. Augustine Grass, so no it will not kill the fescue in your Kentucky Bluegrass lawn.  Tenacity is a systemic pre-emergent and postemergent herbicide for the selective contact and residual control of weeds in turfgrasses. When applied as a pre-emergent, Tenacity Herbicide should be applied before soil temperatures reach 55 degrees. 

    You can spot treat the fescue with a non-selective herbicide such as Killzall and reseed with bluegrass.

    Q
    Can Tenacity be used for Nimblewill?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide is labeled for application for post-emergent control of Nimbleweed to established cool season turf. Per the product label, you may need a second application after 2 to 3 weeks. Apply to young, actively growing weeds, and be sure to use a surfactant such as Southern Ag Non-Ionic surfactant for post-emergent applications.

    Q
    Does the soil have to be above a certain temperature to use Tenacity?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide may be applied when soil temperatures are around 55 degrees or higher for post emergent control.  If you are using a pre-emergent you would need to apply before soil temps reach 55 degrees.

  • Asked by Jeffrey from Trumbull
    05/10/2015
    Q
    Will Tenacity damage Poa trivialis lawngrass?
    I have Poa Triv in shady areas and need to get rid of invasive creeping bent in my lawn.
    A
    The product label for Tenacity does not specify whether it would harm poa trivialis. Both bentgrass and poa annua may be sensitive to Tenacity, while Kentucky Bluegrass is listed as tolerant. Certainty Herbicide is labeled to control poa trivialis, but we are not certain if it would harm the bentgrass. The best option for you is to spot treat the rough bluegrass with RoundUp QuickPro and then reseed with the desirable turfgrass.

  • Asked by Rod from La Habra Ca
    10/30/2016
    Q
    If I only used 1 tsp of Tenacity Herbicide per gallon of water and not in 2 gallons of water, should I repeat application or go ahead and reseed the area?
    I purchased a bottle of tenacity from you a few months back. I recently treated areas of tall fescue that have turned ghost white (whitening was expected) a week + later I realized I messed up and mixed only 1 gallon per tsp/1000 sq feet + nis . The label calls for 2 gallons of water per tsp. Please let me know if you have any feedback of whether I should wait it out or prepare to reseed the affected areas? Thanks
    A

    Since Tenacity is an effective herbicide for weed control prior to or during seeding of certain turfgrasses during turf renovation and the water is only acting as the carrier for the solution to get into the weeds, you should be ok to reseed if you are happy with the results. For post emergent applications, you will need to wait for the turf to be established after 2 mowings to reapply.

    Q
    I applied Tenacity 3 weeks ago. Can I now apply Weed-Be-Gone?
    Some spots need more herbicide: Clover, Dallisgrass. Do the different herbicides react badly together?
    A

    We see no reason why you cannot apply Weed Be Gone now.  It has been 3 weeks after Tenacity Herbicide, which is plenty of time. Please take a look at the Tenacity product label to be sure that it is safe to apply to your particular grass species.

  • Asked by Mike from Harleysville, Pa
    05/07/2017
    Q
    How many ounces of Tenacity Herbicide should I put in a 26 gallon boom sprayer?
    How many ounces of tenacity and surfactant are needed in a 26 gallon boom sprayer for general lawn/grass weed maintenance? Ive read for tenacity, 1 teaspoon per 2 gallons of water but also 4-8 oz per acre in at least 30 gallons of water. How much surfactant should be included?
    A

    When using Tenacity Herbicide, the amount of water is not what is important; the right amount of product is. The rate for 1000 square feet is 1 teaspoon. The will mix in 1-2 gallons of water. Please let me know how much area you are treating to give you the best rate.

    The rate of the surfactant is 1-2 teaspoons per gallon of water. For 26 gallons of water, the rate of surfactant is 26-52 fl oz.

  • Asked by Domenic from North Royalton, Oh
    06/27/2017
    Q
    What is the ratio of Tenacity for established Kentucky blue and ryegrass lawn?
    I have a well established lawn comprised of mostly ryegrass and Kentucky blue that is slowly succumbing to spreading bent grass. I am struggling to confirm ratio of Tenactiy to surfactant to water for proper post emergent application. Can you please provide a ratio based on tank mixing 30 gallons at a time?
    A

    The amount of Tenacity Herbicide that is used is based on the amount of area you are treating. With herbicides, the amount of water is not as important as the amount of water that is being used. The rate we would recommend using is 5 fl oz to cover an acre. This can be mixed in 25-30 gallons of water to cover an acre.

  • Asked by Annette
    07/03/2017
    Q
    What can you put in the mixture of Tenacity Herbicide to turn the plant color until it dies?
    A

    We are not aware of anything that can be added to Tenacity Herbicide to cause the plant color to change as it dies and it already causes a color change itself.  Per the product label: Foliage of treated weeds cease growth after application, then turn white (loss of chlorophyll) and death may take up to three weeks. A repeat application is required after two to three weeks for improved postemergence weed control. A non-ionic surfactant should be added in postemergence applications

  • Asked by Jess from Greenwood, In
    09/26/2017
    Q
    Do I need to wait for the last application to reseed after using Tenacity Herbicide?
    I am applying my first round of tenacity and plan on reseeding. I anticipate I will need a re-application in 2-3wks per bottle instructions. Do I need to wait until my finial application to reseed as the label says to wait two mows or 4wks before applying to newly germinated seeds?
    A

    Per the label of Tenacity Herbicide, this product can be applied at the same time of seed, except fine fescue. It is recommended that you mow at least two days before and/or two days after.
