  • name of lawn product that is broad leaf herbicide with MCPA?

    From bilsch01@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 6 07:07:12 2021
    Hello,
    My lawn has a problem with creeping buttercup weeds. I believe it is
    called Ranunculus repens. It is spreading and is getting bad. I heard I
    should use a lawn product that is a broad leaf herbicide with MCPA. Does
    anyone know the name(s) of commercial products for lawns that is a broad
    leaf herbicide with MCPA?

    Thanks. Bill S.

    The weed-n-feed applications apply the chemical over the whole lawn
    rather than on the weeds alone. To lessen the chemical usage and
    contamination, it is probably better to use the liquid forms, like
    weed-b-gon and just hand spray only where the weeds are. Once you get it cleaned up, just patrol the yard once in a while and spray the
    occasional early weeds with a trigger sprayer. Buttercup doesn't
    necessarily go easy, it might make more than one application after a
    week or 2.
