DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Apply only as directed. 

Use Contec DG Dispersing Granule Technology 18-9-18 where a high nitrogen and potassium application is desired or when iron and manganese are needed to help correct or prevent deficiencies during the growing season.

For turf:

Watering in this product will disperse each granule into thousands of particles. This will facilitate the movement of the nutrients into the soil. This particle dispersion will greatly reduce ball, shoe and mower pickup. Cold weather and/or cold water (lower than 45°F / 7°C) can result in slower particle dispersion.

Application to wet, close-cut golf turf may result in foliar staining, which will discolor the turf to a brown/black appearance. This can occur even if immediate irrigation or rainfall occurs. It is recommended that this product is applied to dry turf only.

Nitrogen Notice: For those states with nitrogen application restrictions, including but not limited to, MD, NH, NJ, and VA, do not apply more than 2.78 lbs of this product per 1,000 sq. ft. 

Phosphate Notice: This lawn/turf fertilizer contains phosphorus and is only for nonagricultural use on (i) turf during its first growing season, (ii) on turf areas being repaired or renovated, and (iii) on turf where a soil test performed within the last 3 years indicates a phosphorus deficiency. This fertilizer is not for the routine maintenance of turf. 

Application Rates:

• LOW: 2.78 lbs/1,000 sq. ft.
• MEDIUM: 5.56 lbs/1,000 sq. ft. 

For all applications:

• Immediately after application, apply a minimum of 0.2 inches of water to disperse particles into the root zone. Due to variations in temperature and water pH, best results are achieved by splitting the irrigation into 2 applications at 10-15 minutes apart. This will allow for more thorough particle dispersion into the root zone.
• Cold • weather (lower than 7°C / 45°F) can result in slower particle dispersion.

Cool Season Grasses:

• Apply at the MEDIUM RATE during the growing season.
• Use the LOW RATE during mid-summer (non-greens usage). 
• Exception: On bentgrass and Poa Annua, apply at the LOW RATE if temperatures are 85ºF or above.

Warm Season Grasses:

• Apply at the MEDIUM RATE during the growing season.
• Use the LOW RATE during summer stress.

Notice: This product contains the micronutrient iron for extra greening and to help prevent iron Iron may stain concrete and other surfaces. Misapplied product to these surfaces should be removed promptly by sweeping or blowing. DO NOT WASH OFF WITH WATER. Particle color may vary from the lot. 

Do not apply near water, storm drains or drainage ditches. Do not apply if heavy rain is expected. Apply this product only to your lawn, and sweep any product that lands in the driveway, sidewalk, or street, back onto your lawn.
