Since I'm getting comments on it already, I'll address this. I 100% pronounced "adjuvant" wrong. I'm definitely not perfect. For those that want to know how it is pronounced, it is add-juh-vent.

[@thomashall9002]

I do commercial applications of lawn weed sprays, among other things, and we use speedzone quite a bit. We don't do a home mix for our adjuvant, but we do use a chemical surfactant called Syltac and/or Ranier-Surfactant. The big thing to remember with speedzone is that you can not use it in 70°plus temperatures, or it'll burn your lawn.

[@pillcosby3949]

I have quackgrass in a cool season lawn which sucks pretty hard. If I ever get other weeds, it’s just here and there and I spot spray.

[@LAWNLIFE]

I have quackgrass bad in my backyard. It's absolutely brutal. There's nothing you can do to control it other than reel mow. It tries creeping in my front lawn but can't handle being cut so short

[@StanThePigeon]

My only concern would be that the grass would absorb more of the herbicide. A lot of herbicides stress the grass with normal use. I’d assume this method would be best for spot treating if potentially stressing grass is a concern.

[@justinralston2879]

May be a silly question but are you doing this in addition to your regular nitrogen treatments and other enhancements? For example if I am spoon feeding nitrogen and turf titan items would I add them to this cocktail or do them separately before or after the herbicide?

Adding urea or ams as an adjuvant is good. The ams is an acidifier. Also... Spot spraying with the fertilizer adjuvants might make for some uneven growth spurts where you spray vs don't spray. Great vid. Love that it's backed up by some science to explain why instead of just "how". Also, it seems like speedzone is discontinued by Gordon in the 20oz size. Or maybe is being rebranded as trimec speed. Bonide weed beater ultra is essentially the same product as speedzone if you can't find it in stores etc.

What order should I take the various issues.

[@LAWNLIFE]

If you have tunnels going through your lawn that collapse when you step on them, it's definitely moles. Take care of those first. I've had the best success with traps. After that I would wait until August to start attacking the problems. If you kill the weeds now you won't have anything but bare dirt and won't be able to seed until then. I would kill the weeds in early august and then overseed with elite cultivars of grass that is shade tolerant in mid to late August. Email me around then and I can help you more if you need it.

[@liquidmocofilmsllc4915]

It seems that all you "lawn youtubers" just copy each other. One guy says add ammonium sulfate and another says add citric acid and then everybody just starts stating the same things. Its ridiculous. First off, just because you are adding these adjuvants doesn't absolutely mean it increases their efficacy. Each active ingredient in the "3 way" or "4 way" mix as you called it has a different mode of action. So adding adjuvants could actually decrease the efficacy over the long haul. Most people just want instant results which usually means it doesn't allow the herbicides to kill according to the mixture of active ingredients. Secondly, adding nitrogen (46 - 0 - 0 )? Really? I think you need to do a little research before just cloning what every other youtuber thinks is the magic mix. If you add nitrogen to the mix and apply it to a cool season grass that has had recent fert application you are begging for disease. Especially if temperatures have warmed up during the night. Thirdly, you should test your water ph and hardness to determine what to add. You just can't tell people to add citric acid. Really!? Professionally, you should understand and know the mode and site of action of each herbicide. Why? Because using a "3 way" or "4 way" every application will increase the chance of weed resistance to the active ingredients over time. You should always rotate different modes of actions to decrease the chance of weed resistance. Also, did you only use 1 gallon of water because it looked like at least 2 gallons in the white bucket. I think what you are doing is fine, but I think you need to do a little more research and critical thinking and real tests before telling people what to do. "100 percent add adjuvants?" I personally and professionally think your test/video shows that the 24 hours of delay that the non adjuvant herbicide shows that it works just as well and is not worth the extra money or hassle of mixing the adjuvants. And again, as I state before, a systemic kill is a long term kill. Just because the weed is wilting does not mean that the weed was killed and could have prematurely wilted before letting the main ai absorb foliar.

[@LAWNLIFE]

I swear some of you come on here, watch videos, and complain just to complain. Yes I REALLY used nitrogen. I used 0.1 lbs of N per K. That’s barely anything. People spoon feed double that weekly. You are not increasing your potential of disease over that small amount of nitrogen, even if they did have a recent fertilizer application. As for the citric acid, if you listened, I said MULTIPLE TIMES that IF you have a high pH and hard water to add it. I didn’t say to add it no matter what. For the average homeowner, they are not going out and spraying herbicide on their lawn multiple times a year, every year, to increase weed resistance to one certain mode of action. It takes several years to become resistant at a MINIMUM. You’re acting like these people are going to spray a 3-way twice and have resistance the following year. I’m trying to help people with a weed infested lawn kill as much as they can at one time. And I used 1 gallon of water per 1000 sq ft, like I mentioned with the graphics and said in the video. So I used 3.5 gallons to cover my 3500 sq ft. Look, I understand you probably get frustrated with “Lawn KZbinrs”, but it’s grass man. I’ve gotten hundreds of emails telling me how I’ve helped people out with their lawns. If you want to hate “Lawn KZbinrs” that’s fine. Go watch something else then. Go start your own channel.
