Tenacity Herbicide
Tenacity herbicide can be used for pre- and post-emergence control of more than 46 broadleaf weed and grass species. Its active ingredient, mesotrione, is based on a naturally occurring compound produced by the bottlebrush plant (Callistemon citrinus) that inhibits photosynthesis in susceptible plant species.
Tenacity Herbicide Target Weeds
Tenacity Herbicide contains a unique formula for targeting and controlling weeds in cool- and warm-season turfgrasses. It controls both pre- and postemergent broadleaf grasses and weeds and doesn't harm newly seeded turf. Other target weeds include:
- Thistle
- Barnyard grass
- Carpetweed
- Dandelion
- Nutsedge
- Chickweed
- Crabgrass
- Foxtail
- Goosegrass
- Henbit
- Clover
- Purslane
- Wild carrot
Tenacity herbicide also controls bentgrass in Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue turf. It's also safe to use at seeding to prevent weed germination. Tenacity does not provide effective results on common bermudagrass, seashore paspalum or zoysiagrass.
