About this item

  • TRUSTED PERFORMER: Torocity contains 40.0% mesotrione; the same active ingredient as the leading brand, Tenacity. For more than 20 years, mesotrione has been the trusted choice for effective weed control in newly seeded areas as well as established turf.
  • FLEXIBLE APPLICATION TIMING: This double-hitter herbicide allows timing forgiveness with both pre- and post-emerge activity. Compared to pre-emerge only herbicides, Torocity widens the application window so you can stop new weeds before they start and take down the weeds you already have.
  • BROAD-SPECTRUM WEED CONTROL: Torocity delivers powerful control of many broadleaf and grassy weeds, including crabgrass, ground ivy, clover, oxalis, and dandelion.
  • IDEAL TURF RENOVATION PARTNER: Torocity is one of the few herbicides labeled for just-seeded Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, and centipedegrass. Apply before seed germination to prevent weed competition and encourage new grass growth. Torocity may be used on new seedings, grass grown for sod, and established turf. Do not apply to certain species, including bentgrass, zoysiagrass, and actively growing Bermudagrass. See label for complete list of tolerant turfgrass species.
  • EASY-MEASURE TOOL INLCUDED: We took out the guesswork so you get the right rate – easily. Our pre-marked syringe highlights the exact amount of product needed per gallon of water. Torocity is activated by water, if rainfall doesn’t occur within 10 days of application, water the area with 0.15 inches of water.
  • NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE IN ALASKA, HAWAII, OR VERMONT. Always read and follow label instructions.

The price is just right! You get the same results for less than name brand stuff. Kills the weeds that you target and does not hamper grass growth as long as you follow the simple instructions. Do not spray in the dead heat of summer or you will torch your lawn. Read the easy to understand directions.The quality of this is exactly as described, comparable to anything else you would purchase for a lot less. It works very well, again once you read the directions. All targeted weeds that are listed and I used it against were gone in about a week.

Torocity is a significantly lower priced alternative to the more common name brand. It is the identical same chemical, and works every bit as good. I recently reseeded a portion of my lawn, and applied Torocity to the area immediately after seeding. The grass is coming in beautifully, and there is not a single weed in sight. This is a great product which kills most weeds, but does not harm labeled turf grasses. So glad I found it! Highly recommend!!!

While this product does work, it take a long, long, time. For those who say I didn't follow directions properly, this was not the case. I'm not saying it doesn't work because it eventually killed off a clover problem along with other weeds in my yard. It just took a few weeks. I did complete a second application a week after the first because I wasn't sure what or wasn't happening since new weeds were popping up while the old weeds were just starting to show white in leaves.You just need to understand this stuff takes time.If you can't wait, this is not for you. But in my case after a few weeks, my clover problem was gone.Make sure you mix with a Surfactant. I have mixed thoughts about adding the dye. I was mixing in 1 gal batches and it became messy so I stopped. I could pretty much tell where I was spraying anyways.

I have applied many times with weeks gap, it discolors the leaf but the Japanese still grass keep growing and then turning green back. I was hoping this will work. Noticing crab grass also popping up , fewer but coming with heat. Working effectively on crab grass, very good product for crab geass and wild voilet. I wish there is something for japanese still grass. Maybe work better as pre emergent for Japanese still grass in fall. Updating rating because japanese still grass was not listed as one of tge weed it claims to control

This is a great option to the more expensive version, follow the instructions 1.5 oz per gal and add a surfactant, as with other reviews pay attention, nothing happens for about a week, then the treated areas start turning yellow/ white. you will think you wreaked the lawn, but wait don't do anything, in about 2 weeks after the grass comes back and the weeds are gone and it will start turning green again. I have spent hundreds on weed b gone on clover, totally useless and kills the grass, this will work, I am on my third application about and acre of grass, 2 gallons got it done, each time. just did the third app and used only 1 gal because most of the clover and other weeds are toast. this is a great product you need to just be patient, I had so much clover it was about 30% of the lawn, now on the third app its about 5% so it totally is worth the money. I highly suggest the milwakee 2 gallon battery sprayer, when you have lots of lawn never having to stop to pump up is so worth it, bought a second one for fertilizer so I do not co-mingle the herbicides . I rarlly ever post reviews but felt I need to, just bought 2 more bottles for next year. One bottle took care of an acre with 3 treatments. weed b gone is not the solution. I probably bought 10 bottles of the stuff, they need a better chemist on staff, good luck folks, worth the money

Portions of my mostly Centipede grass lawn were being overrun by crabgrass, spurge, and some kind of thin grassy-like weed that grows in bunches (I thought perhaps it was poa annua, but that supposedly dies off in the Summer, and this stuff definitely wasn't). I tried some lawn-safe weed killers from the big box store, but these did not help much (seemed to affect the spurge a bit, but the other weeds laughed at it).It got to the point where I was out on my hands and knees trying to manually dig out all these weeds (while also trying not to dig out the good grass that was interspersed), but I really felt like I was fighting an impossible and losing battle. Stumbled on to Tenacity (and this generic equivalent, Torocity), and the results have been astounding. After several rounds of applications over the course of a month or so, I'm finally getting an upper hand on fighting these weeds.The only downside is that it's not an instant kill, takes a few weeks. And before dying, the weeds turn white (about 5 days after application), which can look a bit funky in the yard. But saving me from many seemingly pointless hours digging up these weeds from the yard, it's worth it.Edit (about two months later): the crabgrass is completely gone, and good grass (again, of which there was a little bit scattered among the crabgrass) has filled in nicely. One small issue to note is that the markings on the syringe did not last very long... I suggest taking a knife and lightly carving in a notch at each increment (or just the one that you typically use for the size of your sprayer).

Once applied to the clover i was looking to kill it began to turn white and looked like it was dying and then came back. I think I need several treatments. Use at your own risk.
