Key Features

Syngenta Tenacity Herbicide offers an effective solution for managing a wide variety of weeds and grasses in your lawn or garden. With its broad-spectrum control and dual-action formula, it tackles both emerging and existing weeds, ensuring a healthier, weed-free space. Below are the key features that make Tenacity an excellent choice for weed management:

Broad-Spectrum Weed Control

Tenacity is designed to control 46 different weed and grass species, including some of the most persistent and challenging invaders:

• Broadleaf Weeds: Dandelion, clover, chickweed, and more.
• Grassy Weeds: Crabgrass, foxtail, nimblewill, and barnyard grass.

Dual Action: Pre- and Post-Emergence Control

• Pre-Emergence: Stops weeds from germinating, preventing infestations before they start.
• Post-Emergence: Systemically targets existing weeds, eliminating them at the root.

Systemic Action

Once applied, Tenacity is absorbed by the weeds and translocated throughout their system, disrupting key processes and ensuring complete eradication.

Turf Safety

Unlike many herbicides, Tenacity is safe to use on both established and newly seeded turf. This allows you to manage weeds while supporting healthy turf establishment and growth.

Convenient Application

Available in an 8oz bottle, Tenacity offers a concentrated solution that is easy to mix and apply, providing reliable results with minimal effort.

How Tenacity Herbicide Works

The active ingredient, mesotrione, inhibits the photosynthesis process in susceptible plants by disrupting carotenoid production. Without carotenoids, the weeds lose their chlorophyll, turn white, and eventually die. This selective action ensures that desirable turfgrass remains unaffected.

Benefits of Using

There are certain benefits of using Syngenta Tenacity Herbicide. Some of them are:

Comprehensive Weed Management

With the ability to control a wide variety of weeds and grasses, Tenacity simplifies lawn care by offering a single solution for multiple weed problems.

Pre- and Post-Emergence Flexibility

Whether you’re preventing weeds from germinating or tackling an active infestation, Tenacity adapts to your needs, making it versatile and efficient.

Turf-Friendly

Tenacity is safe for use on most cool-season and warm-season turfgrasses, including:

• Kentucky bluegrass
• Perennial ryegrass
• Tall and fine fescues
• St. Augustinegrass (established only)

Supports New Seeding

Unlike other herbicides that can damage young grass, Tenacity protects newly seeded turf, making it ideal for lawn renovation and overseeding projects.

Long-Lasting Results

By targeting weeds systemically and preventing new ones from germinating, Tenacity provides extended control, reducing the need for frequent reapplications.

How to Use

Proper application ensures the best results while minimizing environmental impact:

Prepare the Mixture

• Shake the Tenacity bottle well before use.
• Mix the appropriate amount of herbicide with water according to the label instructions.
• Add a surfactant to improve adherence and effectiveness on post-emergence weeds.

Apply to the Turf

• Use a sprayer to apply the mixture evenly across the lawn or target specific weed patches.
• Avoid oversaturating the area, as this can lead to runoff.

Timing

• Pre-Emergence: Apply before weed seeds germinate, typically in early spring or fall.
• Post-Emergence: Apply to actively growing weeds when they are small and more susceptible.

Watering

• For pre-emergence control, lightly water the area after application to activate the herbicide.
• For post-emergence control, avoid watering for at least 24 hours to allow the herbicide to penetrate the weeds.
