Hello, No Buffalo Pro Hose on Weedkiller will not treat Nutgrass in your Buffalo lawn. Unfortunately we do not have a selective product that will treat the nutgrass without damaging your lawn. You can very carefully apply the zero gel to the nutgrass being sure to avoid as much of the Buffalo as you can as it will kill the lawn also.

'Yates Zero Rapid 1-Hour Action Weedkiller Gel' is an all purpose weed killer that effectively kills a variety of weeds.

Hi, It is too closely related to a broadleaf weed not a true grass so selective herbicides will damage it.

So it will kill lippia ? That's what I want.............

As it isn't listed as one of the weeds controlled on this product I can't recommend it. I do think it will only damage it not eradicate it though. If you are looking to eradicate it you should use one of the Zero products. 'Yates Zero Weedkiller Super Concentrate' for non selective control of all grasses and broadleaf weeds, as well as onion weed, bamboo, lantana, blackberry and unwanted trees.

It will smash lippia

Sorry Max I don't know and as you can guess from my review I would strongly recommend you don't use the product

Do the math from the bottle to your area to be traeted.

400ml may be diluted to 9 litres of water and applied over 20 square metres using a watering can and sprinkle bar (Dilutes 1 in 30 out of sprayer).

Gardena

Hi Ron, You use a standard 12mm fitting. Michelle Yates Horticulturist

No, a herbicide containing DSMA is preferred for paspalum.

I use 5ml of the concentrate per litre of water. And because I don’t have a large weed problem in my Buffalo lawn, I spray the weeds selectively using a spray bottle. I figure the weeds need spraying not the lawn.

Just buy the connector from hoselink

400ml may be diluted to 9 litres of water and applied over 20 square metres using a watering can and sprinkle bar (Dilutes 1 in 30 out of sprayer).

Its clearly there

Hi Mike, To find the label directions, please turn the product over to see the back of the label. In the top right-hand corner of the label, see the words "peel here". Peel back to read the directions underneath.

Thank you. Was not aware of being able to contact and how. So thank you for the suggestion.

Not much

Hi Jonathan, It is not recommended to use Yates Buffalo PRO Weed 'n' Feed Hose-on in temps over 30 degrees as the lawn may be under stress from water loss or high soil temps which may cause an adverse reaction on your lawn.

DO NOT apply to lawn if soil is dry, conditions are very hot (greater than 30°C) or if lawn is suffering any other sort of stress (e.g. fertiliser burn)

Michelle Yates Horticulturist

If you're sure you didn't go too fast, then it must be that your water pressure is too low.

Hi Susan I’m no expert as such but I also used Yates buffalo pro weed killer in my back yard and it takes awhile to use up the container full , my advise is to stay at it until you use about half, and then wait for a week or so then give it another go. Also in my review I might have made a mistake writing it as the product I used was not spray on already mixed but concentrate that you mix yourself and this will work much faster if you have plenty of weeds like I do.

once its dry

After applying the product, we recommend to wait until the product has fully dried before allowing pets access back into the area. This helps to reduce potential contact by pets and minimises the ability of pets to move products like herbicides from one area of the garden to another (unintended) area.

However, if pets are inclined to chew or graze on the grass, after applying the product, we recommend to: - wait a minimum of 7 days - mow the lawn using the catcher - collect and put clippings into the rubbish bin

Hi Henry, Thank you for your question. We have received a considerable amount of similar feedback regarding the nozzle design, and we are working on it; so please keep an eye out on the shelves for improvements that will address these issues going forward.

If you would ever like to contact our team directly, you can find out how here: external link
