Manage and weed b gone

[standeruser]

Has any one ever mixed Manage(sedge hammer) with Weed b gone. Is that Possible?

[cemars]

What does the label say?

[standeruser]

It says you can mix it with round up. I was just wondering if any one has ever done it with Weed b Gone. Just Curious. Yes, I have a license. This is supposed to be a forum to help,share and give opinions. If you don't know, don't Reply.

the 2 are for diffrent things, awful expensive to spray flower beds with sledgehammer, and weed b gone will blow holes in the turf, why would you want to mix them- just curious---- but by all means you can.

Thanks for your reply, I never said i was going to. A friend of mine asked me to spray a house for him. I just Mixed a batch of weed b gone. I was just tring to avoid buying another sprayer. This the first time i have used Manage. Also Its going to be sprayed on a lawn, not a flower Bed. On another note, Why is every one on this forum so Quick to be Sarcastic Rather Than Helpful??

Because we spend a good deal of money and great number of hours learning our trade, and protecting the responsibility that comes with it.

When a question doesn't sound right, some feel it is better to discourage an unlicensed and/or untrained user rather than risk the backlash that reverberates throughout the entire industry.

becareful , dicamba as well as mcpp can only be used in certain lawn varieties.

read the label to see what it is, here it is just another name for round-up

Your confused LawnDawg, Weed-b-gone is a registered product manufactured by Ortho and it is a selective post emergent weed control guaranteed not to damage turf. Glyphosphate, the active in Round-up, is now sold under many names but weed-b-gone is not one of them.

Yeah, I dont use Weed-b-gone but I am 99.5% sure it is 24d and would be fine in lawns.

[standeruser]

Maybe you should go read the label again. Since you are in the same area I am, I am not sure why you would consider it to be a grass killer when it is a selective broadleaf killer and has always worked that way for me (when I used to use it). I probably have a bottle here still I can go check but I know on Bermuda it okay to use and 99% sure it is on St Augustine.

Now if you had a DAA :hammerhead: and grabbed Weed-B-Gone Crabgrass Killer and put that on nice and heavy, sure you'll burn the crap out of the grass this time of the year since it has MSMA in it.

I'm impressed with your equipment inventory and am sure you are successful in what you are good at. BUT, you gave poor advice in this thread. :nono:

Posters should give advice when they are in-the-know, IMO. I don't give advice in equipment discussions - but that might be your niche.

The weed-b-gone that I am familiar with was round up, thats why I said read the label- that F550 I mentioned has 2 lesco 300 gallon fiberglass tanks, and a 200 gallon space saver in the back of a F350, I was spraying with Chemlawn in the early 80's, and have been over seeing my own spraying since day 1, again I am trying to help people on here, and am not bragging about my inventory but I have busted my ass to get to where I am. Some guys have a craftsman mower in the back of a ford ranger, and picked up a bag of fert. on the way to their 1st lawn and they are a expert, I was merely stating that I was not a rookie. I think this board is a great way to help people. sorry if I misled anyone by mistake, maybe it was an old bottle that I was remembering, Lesco is the only place I have been in years, and I always buy the same things.

It was a mistake, and being able to admit mistakes is probably part of the reason for your success.

My point about the weed b gone was this, it was never "round up" because untill about 5 or 6 years ago nothing was "round up" except for Round up. Mosanto held the patent for glyphosate and only sold it under the Round up name with one exception which was glyphosate with an aquatic use label that I can't recall the name of. Weed b gone, as I posted earlier is a registered trademark owned by Ortho, made by Ortho and only Ortho, and has never contained glyphosate (Round Up). I can recall selling weed be gone as early as 1981 but it could well be older than that. And as hard as it may be to believe patents and trademarks even apply to the great state of Texas!

We all make mistakes. No harm done. Continued success.....

Anyway, back to the issue, I couldn't really see the feasibility of it. Nutsedge always grows in such small amounts and areas, that the cost aspect wouldn't be worth it to mix up a whole large quantity (like to cover a 3 way mix). If you are thinking of the 2,4-D as a spike, it wouldn't help with Nutsedge. I would figure the best way to do would be to get a small hand sprayer if you didn't want to get another sprayer. you are then looking at a minimal cost, and a useful quantity of mix.

[RigglePLC]

There is a new product for nutsedge. "Surge" from PBI Gordon. Excellent control of most broadleaf weeds and also kills nutsedge. Worked well for me.

Has any one ever mixed Manage(sedge hammer) with Weed b gone. Is that Possible?
I haven't , however I have mixed manage w/several others and had good results (confront, Drive, momentum) try a search on jar testing, when the label is vague its always a good idea.
Surge is sulfentrazone(dismis) and three other weed chemicals, It seems to work well on many weeds, however is only labeled to suppress nut sedge. Straight Dismis is labeled as post and I think pre as well for sedge, It's used at very low rates but is kinda expensive. Dismis also works well for spurge. Hope that helps.:waving:
