When to Apply After Overseeding Turf

Do not apply to overseeded turf within 60 days after seeding or until after the second mowing. whichever is longer. Injury to desirable seedlings is likely if this product is applied before seedling secondary roots are in the second inch of soil, not thatch plus soil.

The following precautions apply to the use of this product in turfgrasses and lawns:

• Application of this product may thin emerged annual bluegrass and newly overseeded grasses.
• Do not apply to overseeded turf within 60 days after seeding or until after the second mowing, whichever is longer.
• Injury to desirable seedlings is likely if this product is applied before seedling secondary roots are in the second inch of soil, no thatch plus soil.
• Do not cut (harvest) treated sod before 120 days after application. Do not apply to newly set sod until the following year.
• Application of this product to turf stressed by drought, low fertility, or pest damage may result in turf injury.
• Disturbing the herbicide barrier with cultural practices such as disking may result in reduced weed control.

THIS PRODUCT MAY BE APPLIED FOR RESIDUAL PREEMERGENCE WEED CONTROL IN ORNAMENTALS (INCLUDING ESTABLISHED PERENNIAL AND WILDFLOWER PLANTINGS AND CHRISTMAS TREE FARMS).

Use Rates

Apply this product at 3.1 to 7.2 lbs./1000 sq. ft. (135 to 313 lbs./A) in fall and/or spring. Use higher rate of application for longer control periods.

Application Timing and Information

This product is a preemergence herbicide and will not control emerged weeds. Most effective weed control in ornamentals will be obtained when this product is activated by at least 0.5 inch of rainfall or irrigation or with shallow (1 to 2 inch) mechanical incorporation, prior to weed seed germination and within 14 days following application.

Best weed control is obtained when this product is applied to sol free of clods, weeds, and debris such as leaves and mulch. Prior to application of this product, control existing vegetation by hand weeding, cultivation or the use of an appropriate postemergence herbicide. 

Apply this product to dry foliage only. Overhead irrigation or rainfall soon after application will wash granules off plant foliage and activate this product in the soil.

Established Container, Field Nursery Stock or Landscape Plants

Apply this product at any time to established container or field nursery stock. It may be applied as a broadcast or over the top application.

Newly Transplanted Container or Field Nursery Stock

This product may be applied to newly transplanted container or field nursery stock after the soil is allowed to settle and has been thoroughly watered. For cuttings, apply after the cuttings form roots and become established. Apply this product before budding/grafting or after the buds/grafts have taken. This is to avoid any inhibition of the tissue union.

Shadehouses and Uncovered Polyhouses

This product may be used in shade houses and uncovered poly houses, as well as outdoor locations. Keep the covered poly house open for at least 7 days and 2 irrigations that total a minimum of 0.5 inch of water after the application.
