Quinclorac 75 DF Selective Herbicide 1lb

I used this for a couple of years on a yard war with wild violets. If you're infested with wild violets and you just have to get rid of them, this is what you need. Be aware of a couple of things.1. This will kill every wild violet it touches, if applied at the right time of year - late fall as the violets are prepping for winter.2. There is probably nothing under the violets, as they are very aggressive. So you may be left with bald areas in your lawn.3. Oh, here's a third. It works GREAT on gravel driveways to keep them clear of weeds, grasses, etc.

Originally, I researched this product to get rid of crabgrass. What I learned with further research was that it claimed to be effective against bindweed as well. Over the last 2 years, I've had 3 flower beds that gradually became overrun with bindweed. If you know what I'm talking about, you'll know what a nightmare it is trying to control the spread. You either go scorched earth and heavily spray with groundclear or some other 1 year vegetation (as in all grass, weeds, flowers, shrubs, etc.) killer, or you have to pull bindweed every week. Well, I can tell you this stuff is AMAZING against crabgrass and bindweed.For crabgrass, 1 application to my lawn and it killed all of the crabgrass in about a week without harming my Kentucky Blue Grass.For Bindweed, it took 2-3 applications over a week but after they died, I dug deep into the soil to confirm that it effectively killed the bindweed down to the roots for at least a foot, if not deeper. Since the application of Quinclorac, none of it has returned in 2 weeks which to me, is a miracle. I totally endorse this even though it's a bit pricey, the bottom line is IT WORKS!

Quality herbicide, but you do need to get a methylated seed oil to mix with it to have it work per instructions. I wasn't aware of that until I was ready to mix it up and spray it. They should clearly add that to the listing. If you plan on using this, make sure to add some MSO to your purchase as well.

Tennessee yard guy here. Let me first say, I'm no lawn care expert at all. I've always been into yards though. A passion I inherited from my dad. When I got my first house, I knew I wanted to have a nice yard and I worked hard at maintaining that with fertilizer, weed control and mowing 2-3 times a week. It wasn't until after I found Youtube channels like Connor Ward and Ryan Knorr that I decided to truly get hardcore into it.I have a mixture of common Bermuda, Tifway Bermuda and some patches of Tall Fescue. Like everybody, weeds was always a constant battle. I've had mild success with your normal big box store weed killers, but I have always battled my dreaded nemesis, crabgrass. Seems like no matter what I used, hardly anything would really get rid of it. I used Fertilome, 2-4-d (one time, before I realized it wasn't for crabgrass), SedgeEnder to even MSMA. No matter what I did, crabgrass always reared its ugly face - until this past week.Quinclorac 75 DF is my godsend. I know there are some others out there like Tenacity. This was my first time dealing with a granular type herbicide that you mix with water so I was definitely a bit nervous because this stuff is not cheap. While I can not speak to why some maybe didn't have any success with this stuff, but for me it worked wonders. I literally received my order of Quinclorac this past Friday, got home from work and sprayed the yard that afternoon. I was scared that it wasn't going to work because the following morning on Saturday about 10-11am, it started raining all day. So it had less than 24 hours to sit on the turf as the instructions gave. By Sunday afternoon as I'm typing this up, just about all that I sprayed with Quinclorac is dead. I mean dead. Not turning purple, or yellow or red. Black. Dead. I have never seen anything work as fast as Quinclorac. I'm literally floored.I mostly did spot spraying, especially in my side and backyard. But my front yard was especially rough. I kind of had to spot spray and then also spray and pray because there was so much in certain places. I didn't kill it all, but I knew going in I was probably going to have to do a second round anyway for those that I may have missed as well as those that popped up after I sprayed. Quinclorac is not a pre-emergent.For those needing mixing instructions. It's 1 tablespoon per gallon of water (for 1000 sqft). Also you MUST use a surfactant. If not, I'm afraid you're going to be wasting your time. Quinclorac recommends MSO surfactant because its supposedly better at breaking into the weed and causing it to die. All I had was NIS. I put in 2 tablespoons according to Quinclorac's instructions for MSO. My NIS said 1 teaspoon per gallon, so I know I greatly overdid it. I also used some blue Turfmark so I could highlight what I had already sprayed. Fill half full of water, put your Quinclorac/Surfactant/Turfmark in, close it up and shake thoroughly for a good 15 seconds. Put your remaining water in. Close it up, shake it again and go spray. Do periodically shake it while you're out spraying to keep it circulating in your water.I'm not sure how long Quinclorac will last, but based on what I used, I feel like this stuff will last me a few years. If you have a crabgrass problem, I cannot more highly recommend Quinclorac. If it doesn't work for you, I would encourage you to check what surfactant you used. If it's NIS, give MSO a shot.

Wish it was cheaper, but honestly it works like nothing else to kill crabgrass if you miss your preemergent window. And given that, it's not really too pricey per k. No, it's not particularly easy to use, but it's a professional product. If you want easy but not too effective, and way more expensive per k, hit the big box stores. While this takes a little more effort, and way more NEED to read the safety and application label, it's very effective and quite concentrated.

I live in zone 7A in the mid south. I am also a master gardener and take pride in my lawn and landscape. I admit to using a lawn service for weed control for a few years, because the box store 'crabgrass control' products just don't work. Period. Don't waste your time or money. However, the service recently treated the lawn and we were out of town. The technician left a receipt at the door with some details. He listed the 3 chemicals applied. I had forgotten about Quinclorac as a product. It is a selective product so you will need to read the label to learn what grasses it controls - there are several. But it isn't designed to work on every weed or grass variety. But if you have crabgrass, this will do the trick. And results present in 3-4 days. If it doesn't work for you, then you've done something wrong, because this is a fantastic product.

got this to treat Bermuda intrusion into my fescue lawn. After many applications it really was not effective. I ended up finding a different product that produced results right away.
