I applied Tenacity to my yard in Richmond, VA. Shortly afterwards, a quick thunderstorm and shower hit the area. Do I reapply immediately assuming it did not dry properly, or do I wait the 2-3 weeks and apply again? Also, I have a nutsedge infestation. I got Tenacity for that specific purpose. Sedgehammer was mentioned as a better solution, but I was also told to that I would not be able to aerate and overseed in the fall if I used it. Is this true? Thanks.
If it rained less than 4 hours after applying Tenacity Herbicide, you will need to reapply, but wait until the area has dried. Tenacity Herbicide is labeled for Yellow Nutsedge so it should work if that's what you have, just make sure to follow the label instructions. Sedgehammer Herbicide is definitely a great solution for nutsedge. According to the label you may overseed with annual or perennial ryegrass or bermudagrass, 2 weeks after application. All other seeding can be done 4 weeks after application. If you plan to aerate, you can do it 3-4 weeks after application as well to avoid stressing your grass.
