  • Asked by Terry from Dayton Ohio

    Q
    Will Tenacity Herbicide kill my Irises if sprayed on them?
    A

    We would not recommend Tenacity Herbicide be applied to flower beds and ornamental plants. According to the product label: “Avoid over-spray or drift of spray applications onto ornamentals or flower beds and gardens. Roses and daylilies are sensitive plant species. Avoid applications over the top of exposed roots of trees and ornamentals."

  • Asked by Judith
    04/23/2021
    Q
    My grass turned white after applying Tenacity Herbicide to the weeds. Will my grass recover?
    A

    Yes, the whitening of the target weeds and sometimes the turfgrass is normal per the manufacturer. Tenacity Herbicide is labeled to be used on Kentucky Bluegrass, Centipedegrass, Buffalograss, Tall Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass, & Fine Fescue. It is not labeled for Bermudagrass or Centipede lawns and can cause turf injury. The whitening you see is the active ingredient working its way into the weeds/grass which causes the loss of chlorophyll followed by the weeds dying off within 1-3 weeks..If using on cool season turf, you can reseed those damaged areas if needed.  

    Tenacity Herbicide is applied at 5oz to 8oz per acre (depending on the turf type) or for spot treatments, 2 tsp + 3 tsp Non Ionic Surfactant per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. Please refer to the product label for the mix rate and turf type you have.

  • Asked by Patrick from Lake Odessa
    05/01/2021
    Q
    How soon after applying Tenacity Herbicide can I overseed?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide is one of the few products that can be applied at seeding, prior to seeding, or just after seeding of new grasses to help prevent and control weeds at the same time. Be sure to check the label for any restrictions to certain turf types as Fine Fescue is more sensitive than other species when using Tenacity at seeding. Be sure to use a Non Ionic Surfactant with the Tenacity when applying for best results.

  • Asked by Michael from Alliance, Ohio
    05/27/2021
    Q
    How do I follow up after using Tenacity as a post-emergent?
    I used Tenacity as a post emergent week killer in May (Ohio). It's worked wonderfully. Should I mow the dead weeds and reseed this year? Wait until next year and the remaining grass will fill in? Wait until next year to reseed?
    A

    When using Tenacity Herbicide as a post-emergent, you can apply anytime before seeding, but keep in mind that it may take a couple weeks to kill the target plants, so you would want to wait for those plants to die before aerating and reseeding. It is recommended to rake out the dead plant matter prior to aerating and reseeding the lawn.

  • Asked by Hdztown from Barrington, Il
    05/27/2021
    Q
    Before applying Tenacity Herbicide, my lawn was aerated & over seeded. The weeds are now white so do I need to do anything to the weeds or will they dissolve on their own? Will the newly seeded grass continue to grow?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide will kill the crabgrass, weeds, and clover eventually. However, if you are seeding you may want to remove the dead weeds to allow the seeds more room to grow. Otherwise, you can just leave it as is.

    How long do I need to wait after spraying Tenacity Herbicide to put some micro clover in my lawn?

  • Asked by Hiep from Kent, Wa
    07/17/2021
    Q
    Can you spray tenacity over dead grass
    Haven't watered the grass. Grass is dead. The summer heat has killed my lawn. I have annul bluegrass in with the dead grass. Will this help with killing the annul bluegrass if I spray tenacity over the dead grass?
    A
    Tenacity Herbicide will not control annual bluegrass so whether the lawn was currently alive or dead wouldn't make a difference in this case. If the lawn is already dead, you can spot spray the annual bluegrass with roundup. Typically, annual bluegrass cannot withstand high heat temps, so if the heat this summer has been high enough to kill or heavily damage your lawn, it should have also done the same to the annual bluegrass. If you plan to reseed your lawn this fall, then you can try using the Tenacity as a pre emergent during seeding, however it is only labeled for poa annua suppression when used as a pre, and there are other herbicides that would be better suited to preventing it from coming back. However the herbicides that do this the most effectively are also ones that would prevent your new grass from coming up, so you could not seed and use a better suited pre for poa annua in the same season.

    Q
    Tenacity for crabgrass in a very thick Centipede grass lawn.
    I've got patches of crabgrass in a thick Centipede lawn. Can I spray Tenacity on it mid-summer even if it's down deep in the centipede?
    A

    Tenacity Herbicide can be applied in the summer and works best on crabgrass that has just emerged up to the 4 tiller stage.  Keep in mind that the best temperature range to apply most herbicides, including Tenacity, is between 65-85 degrees. We recommend early morning or late evening applications to avoid damage to your lawn.

  • Asked by Lawrence from Wilmington, Il.
    10/01/2019
    Q
    Why do you not want to use a hose end sprayer while applying Tenacity Herbicide?
    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. This can lead to less than desirable results.
