Overseeding after applying Tenacity

Post by legacy2000 » September 6th, 2017, 7:04 am

I just completed a lawn renovation with very good results. However, there are a few bare spots that may require overseeding (some seeds were washed away during a rain storm).

I seeded my lawn on 08/25/17 and also applied scotts starter with tenacity. If today I were to lay down an additional round of grass seed, will the tenacity prevent these new seeds from germinating successfully?

Thanks!

Tenacity (mesotrione) is considered safe for seeding TTTF and other cool season grasses. I applied Scotts Starter with Tenacity at the same time as seed and things are germinating quite nicely. Some grass might start to turn white but the effect should be temporary.

I did some small patches in the backyard with out tenacity and it was crabgrass city. Applied the starter with tenacity on the front yard and there's not a weed seedling in sight and it's pretty cool to see the few existing weeds I had turn bright white. haha
