How To Use Crossbow Herbicide

• Get the square footage by multiplying the length by the width. Acreage can be calculated by dividing the total square feet by 43,560. Using 1.33 to 5.33 fluid ounces of Crossbow per gallon of water will cover 1,000 square feet. Crossbows should be diluted at a rate of 1 to 4 gallons per 100 gallons of water per acre for large-scale applications.
• Half-fill the spray tank with water, then add the recommended amount of Crossbow. Simply pour in your preferred surfactant in the quantity specified on the bottle’s instructions, then give the sprayer a good shake to ensure a thorough blending of the ingredients.’
• Use the mixture in specific locations where weeds are flourishing, preferably using a fan spray setting to ensure even distribution. An oil-based carrier and a cut-stump treatment are required for invasive tree control. The first 12 to 15 inches of the trunk, including the root collar, should be sprayed thoroughly.

Conclusion

It may take a few days for symptoms to show and many weeks for plants to die completely, depending on the species and how actively the treated plants are growing.

Use in the early summer, when plants are actively growing, for the best results. Use no later than 10 days before the fall foliage begins to turn color.

Application in the late summer or during dry weather, when plants are not actively growing, may not provide enough control.

In rangeland, permanent grass pastures, CRP, fence rows, non-irrigation ditch banks, roadsides, and other non-crop areas, as well as industrial locations, Crossbow specialty herbicide is suggested for control of most types of undesired woody plants as well as annual and perennial broadleaf weeds.
