Specticle Pre Emergent Question and Answer with Product Rep
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- Specticle Flo is a pre emergent herbicide that I use in my lawn care program. It is a great product for weed control in warm season grasses. I use it in the fall to control poa annua. I am planning to start using it in late spring or early spring to help prevent doveweed. Tony Culberson joins me in this video to answer a lot of my questions about Specticle. We talk about mixing rates and recommended uses of specticle. We discuss using Spectice flo on bermuda, zoysia, centipede and st augustine lawns.

This guy is smart, awesome guest.
definilty enjoyed the detailed info on Specticle. I didn't run it this fall....but REALLY considered it. I just couldn't drop the $$$ for a gallon this year. I did buy the smaller jug 2 years back though, and the yards I experimented on were solid. Great results from what I could tell
Cool, I put Specticle out on my Bermuda mainly to help with the poa I had trouble with last winter. Thanks!
Great video guys, thanks.
Thanks Jason for the helpful video, just got a 18oz bottle of SF for my own yard. Got it from Regal chemical and paid $250.
Specticle Flo is well worth the money. Very low rate, thus low cost to use per thousand. I use it for winter weed control and it gives a clean transition into spring green up. I also add a winter booster like simizine or atrazine for warm season grasses.
Coming from North Alabama and being fairly new to the turf game. Your videos have been extremely helpful, this video is no different. Just knowing you're battling the same problems as myself gives me relief. A big thank you for that brother. Lol, On using Specticle when my boss told me there was a $1600 price tag for that gallon I about when 10 toes up. You can only imagine how heavily I've guarded that gallon between uses. Our local landscape supply sales rep informed us that some of the larger turf management companies come in to purchase $100k of this product alone before each pre emergent round. That's a check that would hurt my heart handing over, but when you have the client base some companies do. I'm sure they make more than enough money on the back end.
I'm glad the videos are helpful. You might have a few challenges in north Alabama that I don't have but for the most part we should be dealing with the same type of weeds
Good video . Thanks !
Thank you my friend. I finally bit the bullet ($$) and put it down on a few clients this fall.
It works great
Good info. I’m down in LA.
Just checked on Spectacle flo, the price is $300.00 for 18oz and tribute total is over $200.00 for 6oz
Love videos that u make is their any or can u do. Small company that has mowing down and need to get to into fert. and if u need classes, gov. paper work ect. tools, sprayer, fert ect. As if u can spend some money but No tank truck (backpack sprayer). Full guide for a grew that mows just losing money because their not putting down fert. first time getting into fert.
For a 4 gallon backpack sprayer I use stainless steel tea/table measuring spoons.
Is the longevity of effectiveness not mostly affected by inches of water, whether irrigation or rain? How many inches? That's where splits work best. The amount of water before or after application seems quite important. Also Indaziflam is my go to choice all year, especially because of poa and doveweed. Now, we need an alternative to Gallery 75df for chamber bitter.
But how many Apps can be made b4 damage to lawn occurs?
Jason, should Doveweed be treated in mid October or just left the colder weather handle it? Also, what post emergent products do you think work best for Doveweed?
so how much spicticle chemical do i put in 4 galons . thanks
Awesome video. Wondering if a smaller amount is available for purchase
Does seem pretty pricey.
Thanks, But how can i mix it per 1 gallon.
Hey Jason, i enjoy your videos and you provide great advice while making me laugh at the same time. What state are you located in? I went to high school with Tony and his brother Josh.
Alabama
@@lawncarelifeAwesome, I live in Pelham, AL what city is your business in?
Trugreen applied Specticle Flo at 8oz per acre rate on a fescue lawn before labor day weekend. Killed it. Ruined the overseeding done two weeks prior and in then in October. Didn’t know then that the damage done lasts 10 months.
Wow
That's bad, it's a .6 to 1000sqft isn't it?
Hey Jason, thank you for the videos.
I laid 14 pallets of tiftuf Bermuda in late April. Can I put down pre emergent the first year, or do I need to wait until spring?
I'm starting to see some cool season weeds, and am tempted to put down a light app.
I would put it out if it was my yard
@@lawncarelife thank you. It was a great growing season here in west Georgia. The Bermuda had a good four + months to get rooted well.
How long will 10oz rate last?
What can I spray for button weed in Bermuda (baseball field) I’ve sprayed msma and msm, I can’t seem to get rid of it, I’m gonna do rye in November so I don’t wanna hender that ?
I like blindside but cold weather should get it soon
You would think for the product costs they would supply a better measuring device from the get go.
It’s it’s the cap on the small bottle
Jason - great video! Very informative and I enjoyed it very much, so if you can do more like these that would be great. I do have a question and maybe you could relay this on to the Bayer rep: as an experienced DIY homeowner, I do like to use some of the professional level products since what we find in the big box stores, ACE, etc. to be so limited and not satisfactory for our needs. The problem we have is that the buy-in for these pro level products is prohibitively high and in quantities that are far too large for someone treating less than 10,000 sq ft. Would it be possible to start producing a homeowner product with a smaller volume and lower cost? Say a bottle of Spectacle Flo that would last a few seasons in a 10,000 sq ft yard and cost under $75? From a cost per application perspective, I think such a product would still be highly profitable and open up the market for those of us in the DIY segment. You could even consider making a bottle that has a lower concentration of active ingredient and lower quantity of product to keep costs down. Many of us would really like to see that, not just with Spectacle Flo but many of the other Bayer products like Celsius, Revolver, etc. and even the Tribute Total mentioned in the video. Thanks again Jason!
Specticle is also sold as a granular, I was quoted a price of $100 for a bag that covers 1/4th
What would you recommend for Doveweed control in Bermuda grass in Georgia?
Surge, Celsius, blindside all work as a post emergent but it probably will take two applications. I am going to try an April application of specticle to see if I can stop it with a pre-emergent
@@lawncarelife
Did it work?
How did you like the results from your April Specticle application?
@@kathyg8684 I ended up using 2 small applications of Pennant Magnum 4 weeks apart. A bit cheaper but after 2 years I’m almost dove weed free.
6:15 Great video but this guy recommending tribute total for poa annua is laughable🤣. Imagine my tank combo is Specticle and Tribute🤣. I would have to charge $400 an acre!!!
Less mixing and loading, no real resistance out there, it will club the stolon on Auggie.
