Safe to spray Celsius?

I have been spot spraying all summer with no problem.

Probably good not to hit it when we were in the drought, but after a couple rains, you should be OK for spot spraying. Turf is stunted some, but recovers quickly.

I just applied some to my pesky lespedeza.

I used it last week without issues.

I'm new to the lawn maintenance game. I had Empire Zoysia sod installed in February and it has grown in well this summer. There are a few patches of VBW in it that I would like to eliminate. Would spot spraying Celsius kill the VBW and not damage my grass??

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable pops in but I'd say wait 10-14 days.

Celsius is a systemic herbicide - it has to translocate through the plant and into the root system. it takes time to work. Don’t re-spray after a week - you could damage your lawn grass. Wait a minimum of 3 weeks, before even thinking of re-spraying.

I agree with this, but I’ll also say while it’s slower than round up it is usually noticeable in a couple of days. I have a good bit of chamberbitter and dollar weed. It kills both quickly if the right amounts are used. It’s also easy to tell what was missed, as some will die quickly and others won’t.

So if the OP has nothing dying I guess he should wait, but he likely used not nearly enough. But if he has some stuff dying he could go and just spot spray.

If you have a speech impediment, it is safe to say that you will spray Celsius all over the place. Thelthiuth.
