I would like to use this product to kill crabgrass in my lawn. Would it harm the grass?

No - the label does not even list crabgrass. Crossbow is a combination product effective against both broadleaf weeds and woody plants, while sparing grasses. It literally is the modern equivalent of Agent Orange - heavy duty stuff. I use Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns Plus Cragrass Killer concentrate on crabgrass with good results. It contains 2,4-D, which is one of the active ingredients in Crossbow. Good luck!

crossbow is only for large brush and broad leaf plants. you need to find a product that lists crab grass specifically.

It will not kill turf grass. You would have to look on the list of weeds controlled to see if crabgrass is among the ones handles. Uniquely, it will handle violets and ground ivy that 24D will not touch.

No, it does not harm trees or lawns. My husband has used this product for many years. It is the only product that works for us.

Not too sure. If i had to guess it would be yes. The reason why i say this is because what ever i spray it on will be dead within two days. But it doesnt stop other weeds from growing back in same area. This is hands down the best weed killer ive ever used. (Actually will kill anything u spray it on). It works best for me if i spray in the middle of the day when its hot and within hours the weeds are wilted. A couple days dried out and dead.

I have used this product on centipede grass. I does appear to work well killing wild Bermuda grass. However, before I would swear by this product I want to see how my yard fairs out over the upcoming spring/ summer.

Yes it will kill all kinds of weeds in lawns & it should not damage the grass if sprayed at 2-3 oz per gallon water... BUT it is NOT labeled for lawns.. I would recommend Trimec Classic or even better product and much cheaper per treated sq ft is Trimec 992.. Please look for listings by seller Keystone Pest Solutions.

Yes, this is an organic fertilizaer and it won't burn your grass. You can't fertilize your lawn with synthetic fertilizers as they are sodium based products which burn the grass due to the salt. Milorganite is basically feces and will not harm your lawn when used in the summer. I use this with alfalfa meal (rabbit food/iguana bedding @15lbs per 1000 ft) and have outstanding results in the summer. Make sure to water at least an inch after application (if it hasn't rained within a week) to help breakdown the fertilizers. Enjoy!

No. According to the manufacturer, this cannot be used on St. Augustine. ( see here: http://www.bayeradvanced.com/lawn-care/products/all-in-one-lawn-weed-crabgrass-killer ; disclaim er on Pg. 3 of product label )

No, it will kill all but the very hardiest plant. Now, I do put it directly on some particularly nasty weeds in my yard. It will kill them, and then the grass eventually grows back.

I used this product on my lawn. You should follow the directions attached to the container. The amount that is used varies with cool or warm weather. Also with type of grass it is being used on. Be careful as to how it is applied. It will kill good grass.

I have used it on bermuda grass and just about every other weed and it works well. I do cheat a little and make it double the strength recommended. This allows me to spray the weed just a little (half or so of the weed) and it will die. While it works well on weeds it will also kill anything that gets sprayed. If you get some spray on a plant you need to wash it off or cut the leaf off.

Yes but make sure it doesn't kill your turfgrass. It works best when applied with a surfactant.

I wouldn't use it in my yard, I just use it to kill weeds around our 4 acres, but not in the yard, it would kill your grass also!

I use it for crab grass in spots all over my yard. It kills what it touches, but good news/bad news it doesn't last. I've had to retreat the crab grass and clumps eventually get smaller, but I cannot see any grass loss. I will continue to use it for weeds.

this will kill grass as well as weeds. Kills everything. (Ortho weed-b-gone the best for weeds in lawn)

Treat the crabgrass with Drive XLR8 first. Fertilizer application requires that it be watered. Do not fertilize and water crabgrass that you want to kill. Drive XLR8 with a surfactant is the best crabgrass killer I have used. The crabgrass will be dead in two (2) days; then fertilize and water the good grass. My Bermuda grass is spreading to fill-in the rather large dead spots.

This product wouldn't kill your azalea, or hydrangea beds, but it's great fertilizer for weeds. This product was a waste of money. If it works for your weeds like crabgrass, that's awesome. Try a test patch area and see if it hurts anything. If you have extra money and you feel like spraying it on your lawn, buy this stuff. Good luck.

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.
