Tribute Total Herbicide

Tribute Total Herbicide, manufactured by Bayer, offers selective broad-spectrum, post-emergent weed control of both broadleaf and grassy varieties.

Tribute Total has three different active ingredients which allow it to be effective against most troublesome weeds, including dallisgrass, sedges, crabgrass, and kyllinga, as well as most broadleaf weeds.

Tools Needed

You will need a hose-end sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, or spray rig. For small lawn jobs, we recommend a handheld 1-gallon pump sprayer or a 4-gallon backpack sprayer.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Tribute Total Herbicide you will need by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To find the square footage, measure the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length x width = square footage). For spot treatments, mix 0.023 oz. to 0.073 oz of Tribute Total per gallon of water to cover 1,000 sq. ft. For large broadcast treatments, use a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre and a spray adjuvant.
• Step 2:  Fill your spray tank halfway with water, add the required amount of Tribute to the sprayer, then place the cap on the sprayer and shake the mixture. Add the remaining water and the appropriate amount of surfactant to the tank, then close it and shake it again for a complete solution. 
• Step 3: Apply the Tribute Total mixture to the target treatment areas, spraying to wet but not to the point of runoff. Use a fan spray pattern for uniform coverage.

Where to Use

Tribute Total is for use in and around commercial and residential turf, including golf courses, lawns, sports fields, cemeteries, parks, campgrounds, recreational areas, roadsides, school grounds, and sod farms.

When to Use

This product should be used when there are unwanted weeds growing on the property such as chickweed, clover, crabgrass (large, smooth), dallisgrass, dandelion, dollarweed, doveweed, fescue, goosegrass, henbit, kylinga, nutsedge, plantain, ryegrass and sedges.

Safety Information

Tribute Total Herbicide is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product. 

Keep people and pets out of the treated area until the spray completely dries. 

Special Considerations

Tribute Total also requires a spray adjuvant. For most weeds, a non-ionic surfactant can be used, but for certain weeds, the addition of methylated seed oil is suggested. Spot treatments will likely cause yellowing and growth regulatory effects on the turfgrass.
