MSM Turf vs. Celsius

There are are some problematic weeds like Doveweed and green kyllinga, carpetweed as well, that Celsius will control that MSM won’t, no doubt others. I started out with MSM, still use it, but bought Celsius largely to control Doveweed but use it for other weeds as well, but I didn’t buy it until I needed it to control weeds that MSM Turf would not control.

The upfront price is high, but a bottle will last as long as 5 years - this is year 3 on my bottle and I’ve use a little more than half. I think it is about $105 at Site One in BR. So in my mind the cost is $20 per year - a whole lot less than I pay for fertilizer, pre-emergent herbicides, etc. Of course the MSM lasts a good while as well.

I have both in my arsenal. Can they be mixed?

Shelf life is only 3 years, ftr. Im sure it could last longer, but its expensive shite. I usually split bottles with people

Well according to “Do It Yourself Pest Control” you are correct - they recommend 3 years, but I’ll guess I’ll find next year as I’ll go into year 4 on my bottle. I do keep mine inside under controlled conditions to help preserve shelf life. Even using 3 years, $35 per year cost is still an effective cost for a top of the line selective herbicide.

Splitting bottles with others is also a good idea.

and date on the bottle is manufacture date not expiration

Try Celsius and MSM combined on lespedeza.

Will MSM take care of Nutsedge? I know Sedgehammer will but I have some (a lot) mixed with new Bermuda growth. The MSM is supposedly safer for the new growth and I already have it.

Where can I buy MSM in BR

I would replace both of them with fahrenheit and Certainty. These two should get rid of almost every weed besides dallisgrass

I use MSMA and Image on our athletic fields with good results
