Answer: You can apply Tenacity Herbicide multiple times per year as long as you do not exceed the maximum annual rate of 16 oz per Acre per year. To treat yellow nutsedge, you may need to reapply Tenacity after 2 to 3 weeks; be sure to use a non-ionic surfactant for post-emergent applications.
Can you apply too much tenacity?
For product rates, we’re not allowed to exceed the maximum rate on the label, no matter what. But, the state-by-state difference is when it comes to applying less than what’s called for on the label. For example, the Tenacity label says that 5-8 fl oz/A can be applied to KBG.
How often can you use mesotrione?
Mesotrione may be applied either by ground sprayers or by aerial application up to corn height of 30″ tall. A maximum of two applications per season and 0.43 lbs a.i./A/season are proposed. For preemergence application, Callisto Herbicide is proposed for use at 0.188-0.24 lbs ai/A by groundboom.
Can you apply tenacity after mowing?
Tenacity (mesotrione) may be applied at seeding, or after seedlings have been mowed twice (or 4 weeks after seedling emergence, whichever is longer). Quicksilver (carfentrazone-ethyl) may be applied as soon as 7 days after the emergence of seedlings of several species.

When should I apply tenacity?
Use Tenacity during the growing season when unwanted weeds are on the property. Tenacity pre-emergent applications must be done in the fall and early spring. For post-emergent applications, it is best to apply Tenacity herbicide to young, actively growing weeds and may require a second application after 2 to 3 weeks.
When can you re apply tenacity?
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.
How long before tenacity is rainproof?
According to the makers, Syngenta, Tenacity should be rainfast one hour after application. However, for best results, use with a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) and do not water (irrigation or rainfall) a minimum of six hours after applying Tenacity.
Should I water after applying tenacity?
Answer: After treating with Tenacity, you want the product to have at least 6 hours of dry time before any rain or irrigation occurs. You do not want/need to water after a post emergent application. We recommend using the spot treatment rate of Tenacity in the dense areas so as to not cause damage to your lawn.
How long after Preemergent can I mow?
You should wait to mow for 24 to 48 hours post treatment. This is because it takes at least 24 hours for broadleaf weed control to translocate throughout the vascular system of the plant. If you cut the grass too soon, you’re not letting the herbicide get into the plant.
Can I put fertilizer down with tenacity?
Tenacity does NOT contain any fertilizer, so if this is the herbicide you choose, you’ll likely want to also do a fertilizer application in May (refer to Option 1 above). When properly applied, Tenacity will destroy the weed but not harm your grass.

What should I do after tenacity?
After treating with Tenacity, you want the product to have at least 6 hours of dry time before any rain or irrigation occurs. You do not want/need to water after a post emergent application. We recommend using the spot treatment rate of Tenacity in the dense areas so as to not cause damage to your lawn.
What temperature should I spray tenacity?
Tenacity Herbicide may be applied when soil temperatures are around 55 degrees or higher. Do not apply when air temperature exceeds 85 degrees. Your target temperature range will depend on whether you are using Tenacity for pre-emergent or post-emergent applications. This is typically between 65-85 degrees.
Does tenacity turn grass white?
Tenacity can whiten good grass too. I don’t think that’s weeds in the pics you have. I think it’s just good grass being bleached by tenacity. It should go away soon.
Can you spray tenacity in the summer?

Can you spray tenacity in the evening?

How much surfactant do you use with tenacity?
If you are spot treating, mix 1/2 a teaspoon of Tenacity with 1 1/2 teaspoons of surfactant in one gallon of water.
