I have some black medic and clover that have been hanging out for a while. I hit them with weed b gone CCO and am preparing for my second application once temps permit.

But now the crabgrass is starting to show up here and there.
So I was thinking about mixing weed b gone CCO with standard weed b gone.

I started reading the standard weed b gone label: guess what?
It offers control for clover.
Oxalis? Yep
Chickweed? You bet.
Surely not creeping Charlie? Yeah, creeping Charlie is listed as well.

Obviously, the standard formulation does not have triclopyr; but reading the label of the standard weed b gone, it is reasonable to wonder why anyone would need CCO.

So, if the standard weed b gone treats clover, oxalis, and chickweed, why bother with CCO?
Does CCO offer a better kill rate or something?

I think 2,4 D controls clover, but isn't known to be super effective in doing so. My guess is the amount needed to be effective would exceed yearly maximum. That's why they have a separate product. Just a guess.

In my experience 2,4-D does little more than make clover slightly unhappy and takes repeated applications which will eventually kill it. Same for oxalis. It does work pretty good on chickweed though.

I could be wrong but neither the standard WBG or WBG CCO is going to do anything for crabgrass. You'll need the WBG +Crabgrass control for that with Quinclorac which is hit and miss. Best thing I've used for crabgrass is Fusilade II.

For anything broadleaf I use just use Triclopyr and be done with it.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Wish they would amend the label a bit; though to be fair, the label does point out that repeated applications may be needed on plants that are difficult to kill.

Thanks for catching that. I am accustomed to seeing the orange label WBG (which is labeled for crabgrass), so I called the quinclorac-infused WBG 'standard' WBG. My error.
