When using Tenacity Herbicide as a pre-emergent and seeding, you can apply Tenacity before or at the time of seeding for best results as long as you are planting a turfgrass that is listed as tolerant on the product label (Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue are tolerant). The key time to avoid spraying Tenacity on new seedings, either as a pre-emergent or a post-emergent, would be when the new seedlings have started to come up but are not yet established. Once you see new seedlings, you would want to wait at least four weeks or until the new grass has been mowed twice, whichever is longer. Please refer to page 12 of the label for complete application instructions around seeding.
You do not have to remove dead plant matter after using Tenacity Herbicide, however if you plan to overseed, then it is a good idea to rake out dead plants since you may need to dethatch or aerate before putting down your new seed.
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." A product that can safely be applied to Liriope, landscaped areas, over the top of ornamentals is Fusilade II Herbicide.
Yes, Tenacity Herbicide can be applied with morning dew on the lawn. Morning dew will not lessen the effects of Tenacity. In some circumstances, a more moist soil will make for better root uptake. You are safe to make the Tenacity application in the cooler times of the day when temps are below 85 degrees.
Children can return to the yard as soon as all areas where Tenacity Herbicide was applied have fully dried.
For best results, wait 48 hours to water after applying Tenacity Herbicide.
We would recommend waiting at least four weeks to apply a Weed and Feed after using Tenacity Herbicide.
Tenacity Herbicide may be applied when soil temperatures are around 55 degrees or higher. Do not apply when air temperature exceeds 85 degrees.
We recommend that you mix Tenacity Herbicide with a non-ionic surfactant for the most effectiveness.
Tenacity Herbicide should be used within 24 hours of mixing with water.
Per the label of Tenacity Herbicide, the lawn can be reseeded at any time unless the grass type is fine fescue. You will not need to remove the dead weeds from the area first.
When using Tenacity Herbicide as a post emergent, it should not be watered in. It should be applied when there is no rain in the forecast for 24 hours after application.
Tenacity Herbicide is safe to use in a yard where pets and children will frequent as long as they are out of the area during the application. They can safely return after the area has dried, typically at least 4-6 hours after application.
Yes, you can use Tenacity Herbicide at the same time as a fertilizer either as a pre or a post emergent provided you use both at the correct usage rates per the labels.
Tenacity Herbicide? would be a great option for you to control crabgrass, along with many other common weeds, without harming your Centipede lawn. Tenacity needs to be tank mixed with a non ionic surfactant? or the best results and stick to the leaf surface of the weeds, and its advised to use a dye like Turf Mark Blue? with it so you can make sure to not overlap if you plan to do a broadcast application on the property. According to the Tenacity product label you will need to mix 1/2 tsp of product + 1 1/2 tsp surfactant with 1 gallon of water for spot treatments. After spraying with Tenacity Herbicide, 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.
