Triangle Approach Clarification? Chemical overlap
Hi,
I'm planning on starting my triangle approach this Fall. I have a fescue lawn and I go some Bayer Weed & Crabgrass Killer for level 1. I do have a considerable amount of crabgrass but I just overseeded so I can't deal with that now. I figure it will die out soon and I'll get a pre-emergent plan together for next season. I also have A LOT of Creeping Charlie and I've been told that the Bayer isn't strong enough to take it out. I've been recommended T-Zone and Gordon's Brush Killer for Large Property to deal with the Creeping Charlie.
My question is, should I just skip the Bayer and go to Gordon's or T-Zone for Level 1, since there's some overlap in active ingredients? I don't want to be overapplying chemicals if I don't need to. Thanks in advance!
Here are the active ingredients for Bayer Weed & Crabgrass Killer:
2,4-D, dimethylamine salt - 4.85%
Quinclorac - 1.61%
Dicamba, dimethylamine salt - 0.45%
OTHER INGREDIENTS - 93.09%
Here are the active ingredients for T-Zone:
Triclopyr BEE, butoxyethyl ester - 7.72%
Sulfentrazone - 0.66%
2,4-D, 2-ethylhexyl ester - 29.32%
Dicamba acid - 2.22%
OTHER INGREDIENTS: 60.08%
Here are the active ingredients for Gordon's Brush Killer For Large Property:
Triclopyr, triethylamine salt - 7.81%
2,4-D, diethanolamine salt - 16.49%
Dicamba, dimethylamine salt - 1.38%
OTHER INGREDIENTS: 74.32%
Thanks!

Re: Triangle Approach Clarification? Chemical overlap
If creeping charlie is your primary concern, deal with that first. Don’t overthink this. It’s grass.
If it were my lawn, I’d treat the creeping Charlie now. Then I take a look at the other weeds next year.

A guy I work with called Gordons and talked to them directly when they were switching their packaging for Trimec. The guy he spoke with told him their Acreage Pro was the best the offer for lawns. He recommended that product for home lawns. You might look at it as well.
