Vegatables are notoriously sensitive to herbicides, even at extremely low rates. This is a selective systemic agent, designed for tough to kill grass family plants, often found with tubor type root systems. Many vegatables are members of the greater grasses families, and certainly many are tubor type plants. I suggest staying very close to the approved list on the label. I would not try it on anything important to me. (I'm also a Master Gardener)

The bottle does state ornamental plants and I have only used it that way, by the way it does work.I would not use it near plants I was going to eat, I use weed mat/mulch between my veggies. Hope this helps.

The label does not directly address gardens. However, it does state that can be used around "trees and vines that will not bear edible fruit for one year....Should accidental contact be made, to foliage, immediately wash off with water". Based on that, I would not use this on a vegetable garden.

Hi Sandy, I used this product on poison ivy that was on my fence and on part of the lawn. There was no damage to my grass. I guess results may vary depending on what kind of grass it is.

This is the best killer that I have ever found. I would think it would kill your sprouts without any problem. I put an ounce of liquid dish soap in my 2 gallon sprayer with any brush/weed killer so it helps it to stay on the leaves and not just run off, Some leaves or even wild onions have a wax on them that sheds water. Hope this helps you.

I never sprayed it onto wild violets but I can tell you it will kill them because it killed everything else it was sprayed onto...I even mixed it stronger and killed some small brush that was cropping up in a fence row!

It states on the package the product will defoliate any plant. As for actually "killing" the grass, roots and all, I would suspect not. It'll certainly damage the turf, and likely kill patches. But I don't know if I would rely on it to kill an area of turn in preparation for a planting bed, or something of that nature. By the same token, spraying weeds within your lawn will certainly result in turf loss in the areas sprayed.

I am not sure why you ask me this, I am a buyer of the product not a seller. But I do not think it is supposed to be used on vegies. This product has a long life and is normally used for ornamental plant pests. I bought it for Emerald Ash Bore and hope it lasts for a couple of years.

NO! Search "Basagran Sedge Control label" and read the label. It is not labeled for vegetables. It may even kill some. There is nothing on the label suggesting it is acceptable to spray on food crops. It is irresponsible to suggest it can be used for anything besides turf and ornamental, as labeled.

Maybe if the roots are down deep enough to escape the poison. I tried to kill grass around some sedum plants. It didn't do anything to the grass, but almost killed the sedums.

I just sprayed the leaf area. My fear is that over spraying would kill everything in the area. Spraying the upper area seemed to be sufficient.

As long as it's not sprayed on vegetable. Spray around them, not on them. I bought it for ground squirrels and it worked for me.

I am not sure. I use it for ants and blend it with dawn unscented soap for a natural bug killer for my garden. It is safe to be spread around vegetables.

Yes it will, It will kill anything you spray it on. Be careful around your good lawn.

I use in my raised beds and all around them. I have seen no bad effects on my vegetables. But it does keep the deer away from them

Yes. If I remember correctly, the two main ingredients are vinegar and clove oil. It will kill the vegetable plants if they are sprayed, but the components of the spray are non toxic and acceptable for organic vegetable gardening.

we mixed an sprayed it from a sprayer, just don't use on lawn as it killed the lawn also

This product will kill any vegetation it touches. I have found that I sometimes it will kill the top growth but some plants with deep roots may have to be sprayed again when re growth appears. It works best on young weeds.There are other products out there that will kill your stickers without killing flowers. Try Grass-be-gone.

It works great on fire ants, when you top dress the ant mound. As for being garden-safe, if you are growing vegetables in the garden, be careful to not put it on the vegetable plants themselves. I am pretty sure it would not be good for you, and might leave residual on your vegetables. If you are growing a flowering garden, it has not seemed to damage any plants I put it near.
