  • There is a cheap weed killer pros use a lot for lawn care that kills many weeds without hurting the grass. The other great thing is this product costs less than 4 cents per thousand square feet, making it very affordable. As with other herbicides, you need to follow the label and wear PPE. I often mixed the product know as metsulfuron (amzn.to/3GAcSZb) with other pre and post emergent herbicides which obviously raises the cost. In this video I am mixing it with changeup amzn.to/3Ip14KG and prodiamine. amzn.to/3Gijvy9. Combining pre and post emergent herbicides is a weed control strategy lawn pros use regularly.
    I use metsulfuron at the very low rate of 0.25 ounces per acre. At higher rates it can kill oak trees so it is very important to understand how to calibrate your sprayer. This video can help with that. • Tank Sprayer Calibrati...

There’s lots of Tall Fescue and it looks terrible on the dormant Bermuda. New client start January 2024 and was just gonna run pro-diamine & roundup quikpro blanket spray. Do you have a suggested roundup rate or max rate wince Bermuda is fully dormant and wont harm it?… 🤔

      @davisfamilyshenanigans4807 Рік тому

      The label on resolute recommends watering within 14 days. It usually rains by then. If it’s not watered by then, the product can be slowly broken down by photodegradation (sunlight exposure). The grass blades help shade it for longer lasting when watered in. Also MSM is rainfast in a few hrs, not to mention it has good root absorption as well. Don’t worry about rain
