Why Tenacity is different
Most herbicides cannot be used when you seed. Tenacity can, and it also works on established weeds, so it covers both ends of a lawn renovation. It is absorbed through roots, shoots and leaves and moves through the plant; susceptible weeds turn white as photosynthesis stops. It controls crabgrass pre or post up to four tillers and even takes out unwanted bentgrass.
- Controls. Crabgrass (large and smooth), ground ivy, yellow foxtail, yellow nutsedge, nimblewill, barnyardgrass, carpetweed, chickweed, clover, dandelion, goosegrass, henbit, purslane, thistle, wild carrot and others, per the label.
- Bentgrass. Controls unwanted bentgrass in turf.
- At seeding. Eliminates weeds at seeding so new grass can flourish.
- Crabgrass. Pre-emergent or post-emergent up to four tillers.
- How it works. Systemic; absorbed by roots, shoots and leaves.
- Made by. Syngenta.
Best for
- Lawn renovations and overseeding
- Crabgrass programs
- Nutsedge and ground ivy problems
- Lawns being converted away from bentgrass
