Tenacity Herbicide is only labeled for use on turfgrasses. It could harm ornamental grasses if applied over them.
As long as you are not spraying the roses directly, you can use Tenacity Herbicide on the grass below.
Tenacity is labeled for control of yellow nutsedge only. Tenacity does not cover other species of nutsedge. We do carry Sedgehammer which is labeled for all species of nutsedge.
We would recommend contacting the airline directly for restrictions on transporting Tenacity Herbicide in the air.
Tenacity Herbicide is not labeled for zoysiagrass.
No, Tenacity Herbicide cannot be used on residential St Augustine lawns. It is only for use on St Augustine grown for sod as listed on the product label.
Some folks do use food coloring/dye to mark where Tenacity Herbicide has been applied. How much you use depends on the depth of color you want. We apologize but cannot advise on the exact amount.
No, Tenacity Herbicide is not labeled for application to bahia.
As long as you are not applying either product during the heat of the day, you can use SpeedZone the same day as Tenacity Herbicide. Just allow areas to dry between treatments
Tenacity Herbicide is not labeled to be applied in or around edible vegetation. When applying the product to your lawn, you would want to be sure to avoid over-spray or drift of spray applications onto the fruit trees, and avoid spraying within the drip line of any edible trees.
While you could potentially do a split application with Tenacity for a fall pre-emergent, usually you would wait at least 6-8 weeks between applications in that case. Keep in mind that the annual maximum application rate for Tenacity is 16 oz per Acre per year (used in 12 months), so you want to be careful you are not exceeding that rate. Be sure, too, that you are not exceeding the application rates for your type of turfgrass.
Tenacity Herbicide only states that it can cause undesired injury to kikuyugrass but it does not give instructions on how to control with Tenacity, which leads us to believe it may only temporarily damage it rather than actually kill it all the way out. Once your new seed has come up and become established to tolerate herbicide use, you could use Hi Yield Turflon Ester to spray over the kikuyugrass to eliminate it from the ryegrass in the lawn.
Per the Hi Yield Turflon Ester Product Label for Control of Kikuyugrass:
Apply Hi-Yield Triclopyr Ester at a rate of 3/8 to 3/4 fluid ounces per 1000 square feet. To improve activity, MSMA herbicide may be tank mixed with the ½ quart per acre rate of Hi-Yield Triclopyr Ester. Three to four additional applications at 4 to 6 week intervals may be required to achieve control of kikuyugrass
Tenacity Herbicide not labeled for zoysiagrass and would not be recommended to apply to it at all.
We don't recommend using Tenacity Herbicide to get rid of weeds in ornamental plants, it's not labeled for this use. If you have broadleaf weeds, you will need to spot treat with a non-selective herbicide. If you have grassy weeds, you can use a product like the Bonide Grass Beater around listed ornamentals on the label.
Foliage of treated weeds will cease growth after Tenacity Herbicide 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.
You would only need to water in the pre-emergent application of Tenacity Herbicide on dormant bermuda if you felt you did not use a sufficient amount of water during the initial application. Typically the goal is to create an even barrier in the soil with the chemical so the weeds cannot penetrate through it. Light watering no more than a 1/2 inch of rainfall equivalent is fine.
The product label for Tenacity Herbicide only states it is safe to be used on perennial ryegrass. There is no mention of it controlling Italian ryegrass, so I would not suggest using the product to control that particular weed.
Tenacity is usually pet safe as soon as it is dry. However, chickens are different and we would recommend reaching out to your vet for more information on what to do. Or you can reach out to the manufacturer for more information as well: Syngenta 866.796.4368.
If you notice on Tenacity Herbicide’s product label, there are two different rates for application. There is a broadcast rate- meaning spraying the entire surface of the property, and a spot treatment rate. Spot treatments are often a different use application than for broadcast, especially for a unique product such as Tenacity. The main broadcast applications being made are going to be used as a pre emergent. The broadcast applications are not best for post emergent control, and the manufacturer recommends spot treating when going after existing weeds. Controlling an existing weed and preventing weeds from seed germination will be two different application rates, and one uses a surfactant during treatment (post emergent) and one does not (pre emergent).
Also, you would only be calculating per gallon of water if you are doing a post emergent spot treatment. Pre emergent applications will have varying water volumes based on a customers turf type, density, application equipment, and application speed. This means you are focusing on an amount of chemical per square footage/acreage, and not per gallon. The water is merely the carrier to get the small amount of chemical distributed evenly across the correct amount of space to yield the intended results from the product. For many, a pre emergent application will vary from 1 gallon to 3 gallons of water per 1000 sq/ft.
If you do not know how much water you will cover 1000 sq/ft or an acre with, you can calibrate your equipment by using only water first, and mark off a 1000 sq/ft section of yard. Walk as if you are applying it with chemical in a way that seems like sufficient coverage for your lawns needs. When finished, look to see how many gallons of solution you used, and then you can move forward with determining how you need to mix it based on this information for your 4 gallon tank.
Since a surfactant is designed to reduce water tension during spraying, applying it separately is unlikely to improve results. If you were applying the Tenacity as a pre-emergent herbicide, then there should not be any detriment to the application. If you were applying as a post-emergent, then you may need to reapply the product in 2-3 weeks as a spot treatment for the target weeds.
