MSMA herbicide

[slomo]

Anyone on here use MSMA before? Have to say it doesn't play any games. Crab grass is all white and curly-cued up in one day. Dalisgrass is laying down like you threw hot acid on it. Again this is after one day.

Only thing I don't like is the cap leaks when you try to shake it up. It has a plastic inner cap deal that still leaks when shook.

I use it occasionally. I have the Target 6+ brand. It works great if you have Bermuda lawns. DO NOT use on other southern grasses. It will cook crabgrass, nut sedge, Bahai grass. It's best applied at higher air temperatures.

How do you combat the leaky cap on the jug?

Oh I also mixed it with MSM Turf for broad leaf control. Man it smoked the weeds like acid was poured on them. Impressed with the product. Probably reduce the dose next time.

I used 4oz into 4 gal of water (4 gal sprayer) for 5k sf of MSMA coverage. Also 0.25 oz into 4 gal for 5k sf of MSM Turf. Some areas were hit harder due to wind drift. Love to have a 0 wind speed day to spray. Those are rather scarce in Oklahoma.

Finally found a 1-2 punch that wipes out basically all of my weeds.

I'll have to try this stuff on my recycled asphalt drive to keep anything from growing up in it....

Mine doesn't leak. You might try plastic wrap under the cap.

It's not a bare ground herbicide. You will need something else.

Like glyphosate or the brand name of Roundup. There are several flavors of Roundup so beware.

Roundup 41% glyphosate is what you need.

I keep Glyphosate 53% on hand.
RM43 is good for bare ground.
