There is no wait time to seed when using Tenacity alone, but Speedzone Herbicide requires 2 weeks from day of the application before seeding, according to the product label.
That would depend a little bit on what kind of soil conditioner you are applying and how it instructs you to use it. If its a product that needs to be incorporated into the top layer of soil or applied in any way that would disturb the Tenacity barrier, you would need to have either applied it before the Tenacity, or about 30-45 days after. Tenacity as a pre emergent only lasts about a month in the soil so after that time you could safely apply it if it requires the barrier be interrupted. If its just applied to the top of the soil and watered in, etc you can apply it within a few days of the Tenacity treatment.
Tenacity Herbicide is not labeled for sandburs.
Tenacity Herbicide is best applied at the same time as when you overseed for preemergent control of weeds.If you have already overseeded, then it is best to wait until after the 2nd mowing or 30 days (whichever is longer) to apply Tenacity with a Non Ionic Surfactant for post emergent control of weeds.
You can apply Tenacity as a pre-emergent anytime before seeding a cool-season lawn. If you are planning to overseed this spring, however, you cannot apply a product that has Dimension in it before seeding or until the new grass is well established (Dimension will prevent the turfgrass seeds from germinating). We would recommend that you aerate before applying any kind of pre-emergent so that you do not disturb your soil applications. Please review our Cool Season Lawn Care Schedule and Guide for more information.
Tenacity is only labeled for use in Kentucky Bluegrass, Centipedegrass, Buffalograss, Tall Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass, Fine Fescue, St. Augustine Grass (grown for sod only). You should not use Tenacity Herbicide on or around desirable ornamental plants or groundcovers, such as pachysandra.
Normally it is fine to mix two herbicides like this together. It is always recommended to do a small jar test first just to make sure they combine well and there is no clumping or separating. You will want to follow the label instructions for both products on tank mixing or how to do a compatibility test.
No, Tenacity Herbicide is not labeled for zoysiagrass therefore could injure or kill the turfgrass.
Per the manufacturer, you will need to wait 18 months after the last application of Tenacity Herbicide to plant anything other than turfgrass. They also advise that you do not use the grass clippings from treated turf as mulch. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.
Per the manufacturer, the 18 month waiting period after an application of Tenacity Herbicide applies to food crops but there are some trees that can be sensitive as well. Digging a hole where Tenacity was applied should not have much active ingredient residue, especially if the sod/grass is removed to plant the tree. Waiting 3-6 months after application would be acceptable.
If not applied around the same time you should wait 1 week to apply another herbicide. Tenacity Herbicide when mixed with a non ionic surfactant will control crabgrass up to the 4 tiller leaf state only and is best applied when it just emerges. Drive XLR8 is actually the top product for crabgrass and can kill it best when it just emerges or after it has fully matured just not as good during the 2-4 tiller (middle) state. A methylated seed oil surfactant is also recommended for best results with Drive XLR8. Which you use can depend on the tiller stage of the crabgrass but Drive is usually the go to for post emergent control of crabgrass.
Tenacity Herbicide does not have a strong odor when it is mixed with water or during the applicaiton. There should be no odor after the product is dry.
Tenacity Herbicide can be tank mixed with other herbicides, fungicides and insecticides when following the tank mixing instructions listed on the product label. We suggest doing a compatibility test in a small mason jar first to ensure the products mix thoroughly without clumping or separation.
According to the product label of Tenacity, "Wait until the newly germinated turf has been mowed two times or four weeks after emergence (whichever is longer) before making a postemergence application." Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.
Yes, you will apply 5-8 oz of Tenacity Herbicide per acre. With a minimum spray of 30 gallons per acre or 0.75 gallons per 1,000 sq ft. We always recommend to read the product label for complete application instructions.
There should be no issues applying Tenacity around the same time as a fertilizer with micronutrients as long the label on the fertilizer does not state that it cannot be used with herbicides.
Tenacity Herbicide is not labeled to control or kill ajuga. We currently do not have any products that are labeled to eradicate Ajuga/Bugleweed, you may have to spot treat with something like Roundup QuikPro in the areas that have the weed and then reseed the areas in 2 weeks
Tenacity Herbicide should be appllied after you have leveled your yard so the barrier is not disturbed or covered with other soil where seeds would not be effected by it.
Tenacity Herbicide can be used on a lawn that 2,4 d or other herbicides have been applied to safely as long as you follow label instructions and apply it evenly. Tenacity will only last about 30 days as a pre emergent compared to other pre emergents on the market that will last 3-4 months. Tenacity is mostly used as a pre emergent in the spring or fall when customers are over seeding their lawns with a cool season grass to fill in bare spots, as its one of the only products that can be used at this time without harming the seed. If you are not seeding, you may want to consider a longer lasting pre emergent or one that covers a wider range of weeds than the Tenacity does, like the Dimension 2EW or Pendulum 2G for instance. If using Tenacity as a pre for crabgrass, you want to put it down at or just prior to your soil temperatures reaching 55 degrees in order to be effective. If soil temps have already progressed past 55 degrees your pre emergent will not do much to stop the weeds.
Tenacity is safe for use on Bermudagrass only if the Bermuda is completely dormant. It cannot be applied to grass that is already growing.
