Tenacity Herbicide would be mixed at the same rates listed on the label on your turfgrass for using solo when tank mixing with Barricade. You would only used reduced rates if mixing with atrazine, bentazon or simazine.
We would not suggest mixing Tenacity and a glyphosate product as there would not be much benefit in doing so. You could mix a pre-emergent like Dimension 2EW or Prodiamine 65 which would cover many broadleaf and grassy weeds.
When Tenacity Herbicide is used for post-emergent control of weeds the weeds are sprayed directly. According to the product label, when used postemergence, susceptible weeds absorb Tenacity through foliar contact and soil absorption. The 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.
Tenacity Herbicide should not be used if the seed you are putting down is more than 20% fine fescue. If you have a fescue blend that is less than 20% fine fescue, then it should be safe to use Tenacity before or at the same time as seeding. Please refer to the product label for full application instructions.
When you apply Tenacity Herbicide will depend on how you are using it. When using Tenacity as a post-emergent herbicide, you should spot treat target weeds when they are young and actively growing, which may be in spring, summer, or fall. Generally, you do not want to use any post-emergent herbicides when temperatures are over about 85 - 90 degrees since your desirable grass will be more sensitive and the target weeds will not be growing when it’s that hot. Tenacity should be used as a broadcast application pre-emergent when renovating lawns listed as tolerant on the product label. Since these are primarily cool-season lawns, this application is generally done in the fall.
Yes, you can apply Tenacity Herbicide before or at the same time as seeding if you are using turf types listed as tolerant on the product label. This herbicide will suppress poa annua as a pre-emergent.
When spot treating with Tenacity Herbicide, you can aerate any time after that without any issues. If the plan is to make a broadcast application, we recommend to aerate before the treatment is applied.
Broadcast treatments would be recommended if you are needing to actually treat the entire lawn for pre-emergence, if you are only needing to treat small areas or use as a post emergent then you can spot treat. Consult your local Cooperative Extension Service for more specific applications timings for your local area. Their contact information can be found by clicking the link below.

There are certain products that are susceptible to problems with high pH balances in water. If a product label does not specifically address this issue it is because this particular product does not usually have any issues with pH. The product label for Tenacity does not list anything regarding pH levels.
Once mixed with water you should use the product within 24 hours.
Tenacity Herbicide is labeled to be applied and safe for Perennial Ryegrass.
While Tenacity is labeled to be used on Buffalograss it is not labeled to control wheatgrass. We are not able to find anything that is labeled to do so. The best thing to do for this issue is to spot treat with a glyphosate based product like GlyPhoSel Pro and reseed/sod the treated area.
We are not sure if Tenacity Herbicide can be applied with your handheld weed wiper. If you can apply the labeled amount over 1000 square feet with water, we do not see an issue. It would be best to also consult with the manufacturer of your Weed Wiper.
Tenacity Herbicide will harm Bermuda lawns. Please contact us at 866-581-7378 M-F 9-5PM EST for an alternative product selection that will best fit your needs. Thank you!
Tenacity is labeled for post-emergent control of Nimblewill. 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. Your other option would be to use a non-selective herbicide such as Roundup to spot treat the Nimblewill to kill it directly, and then replant St. Augustine in those areas.
Tenacity Herbicide is not labeled for trees so spraying around the trees could possibly harm them.
Per the Tenacity Herbicide product label, "Dormant bermudagrass applications only - Apply Tenacity at 5 fl. oz./A to control winter weeds (listed in the WEEDS CONTROLLED Table) on dormant bermudagrass. Repeat application in 2 to 3 weeks. Applications made to semidormant turf will cause whitening of the bermudagrass".
