What temperatures are okay for use of broadleaf weedspray ??

The temperatures here in Tennessee this week are suppose to be upper 80's for highs and lower 60's for lows at night








is this still a good time to spray for broadleaf weeds with quick results?


(it has been very dry too this past summer)

If the weeds are actively growing, it's a good time to spray. If temperature range is not given on the label, call the 800 number for the manufacturer and ask... different formulations, different temperatures. Generally 70-mid 80s is a common range.





Read and follow all label directions. Do not mix stronger than directed, as your kill rate may actually be lessened if the tissues simply "burn" instead of translocate the material.





Don't spray annual weeds, t's a waste of time and money.
Reply:Ron,


If you have the bottle, which you should because keeping insecticide in unsafe bottles kills more kids and pets than most people can imagine, pick up the bottle and read all of the writing. If the directions on the bottle aren't legible the product may be too old to use and should be disposed of properly. Call your local noxious weed extension for information of safe disposal.


Somewhere on that bottle the weather and temps should be listed as optimum times and mixtures for use of the product.
Reply:The weeds have to be activly growing, so the tempriture is not that important
