TENACITY HERBICIDE

Tenacity is a great herbicide option for homeowners looking to treat problem weeds that are difficult to get rid of in their lawns. This highly effective weed control is a popular option for homeowners looking to treat a variety of weeds including chickweed, clover, crabgrass, dandelion, foxtail, henbit and nutsedge

Tenacity Herbicide contains mesotrione, a chemical that prevents the weed from making carotenoid, which protects the chlorophyll from sunlight degradation. Once applied, the mesotrione penetrates the weed through foliar contact and inhibits the carotenoids from protecting the chlorophyll. Soon after, the weed turns white and dies due to chlorophyll loss. Though Tenacity starts to work on contact, it can take up to three weeks for the weed to die.
