I'm having a hell of a year with weeds. More doveweed than I've ever seen along with a lot of vbw, kylinga, nutsedge, chamberbitter, spurge, and marsh parsley. I was usually able to spot treat kylinga and sedge with sledgehammer but there is so much I need to broadcast treat. Wondering if celsius Xtra is worth the money.

After the doveweed this year I think I'm going to switch from prodiamine to spectacle.

If you already have Celsius (“regular”) and Sedgehammer at home, just mix the two, with water and surfactant, and broadcast spray the mixture. If you are out of one or the other, then purchase the Celsius Xtra.

But the best route going forward with Doveweed is Specticle pre-emergent applied mid-April-early May (soil temperature 70 F). I’ve fought that battle as well. In fact, if you already have Celsius & Sedgehammer at home, I’d put the $ towards Specticle and apply it ASAP. Not all Doveweed seeds have germinated and we are likely going to have a wet summer with lots of weeds.

I'm almost out of celsius so needed to restock anyhow. I usually only have to get one of the 1 gallon amount satchets of sedgehammer per year since I'm treating so little but this year its everywhere. Thanks, guess I'm getting Xtra and specticle.

This is a VERY expensive product but I can't recommend it enough. You'll see a major difference in weed pressure once you start using it. It's amazing shite.
