DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

This product is a stable mixture of four herbicides. It is for use on residential turf.

Not for use on turf grown for sale or other commercial use as sod, or commercial seed production, or for research purposes.

Do not apply this product in a way that will contact any person or pet, either directly or through drift. Keep people and pets out the area during application. Do not allow people or pets to treated area until dusts have settled.

Do not apply directly to or near water, storm drains, gutters. sewers, or drainage ditches. Do not apply within 25 feet of rivers, fish ponds, lakes, streams, reservoirs, marshes, estuaries, bays, and oceans. Do not apply when windy. Apply this product directly to your lawn or garden, and sweep any product landing on the driveway, sidewalk, gutter, or street back onto the treated area. To prevent product run-off, do not over water the treated area(s) to the point of runoff or apply when raining or when rain is expected that day.

The maximum number of applications per treatment site is 2 per year.

This may be used on Bahia, common Bermuda, Blue Grass, Centipede, Fescue, Rye, St. Augustine, and Zoysia grass. Do not use on Dichondra and Carpetgrass. Do not use this product where desirable clovers are present or allow the product to wind drift onto flowers, vegetables, ornamentals, shrubs, trees or other desirable plants.

WHEN TO APPLY:

Best results are obtained when weeds are growing actively in Spring or early Fall. Avoid contact with desirable shrubs, plants, vegetables, or flowers; especially when applying with a rotary (spinner) type spreader. Do not reseed for at least 3 to 4 weeks after application. Do not apply to newly seeded or sodded lawn until after 3 mowings.

For optimum results:

1. Avoid mowing 1 to 2 days before and after application.
2. Apply when grass is moist (after rain, sprinkling or dew).
3. Avoid unnecessary disturbances, including watering of treated areas for 48 hours after application. Watering will wash off weed killing material.
4. Avoid applying if rainfall is expected within 48 hours following treatment.

Possible retreatment in 30 days may be necessary if lawn is heavily overrun with weeds or if adverse low moisture conditions prevail and weeds are in a state of poor growth. Do not exceed specified rates because damage to turf may occur.

NOTE: When applying to Southern grasses - under conditions of inadequate moisture, high temperature and high humidity, over-application may cause minor transitory discoloration on Centipede and St. Augustine grasses. It is recommended that during hot, dry conditions, application rates should be reduced by 50% to avoid possible dehydration or browning of grass.

HOW TO APPLY:

This 16 lb. bag should be used on 5,000 sq. ft. Apply evenly with a lawn spreader as a one pass application. A two-pass application, criss-crossing the area at half the rate each time is also acceptable.

The following setting is approximate for applying contents of this package at a suggested rate of 3.2 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. These settings are furnished only as a guide. Age, spreader condition, operating speed, and unevenness of terrain can cause variation in applied rates. Settings are based on an average walking speed. Reduce setting for slower speed; raise setting for higher speed. Check your spreader on 250 sq. ft. and adjust to apply at the rate of 0.8 lbs. per 250 sq. ft.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS:

This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates and may adversely affect non-target plants. To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area. Sweeping any product that lands on a driveway, sidewalk, or street, back onto the treated area of the lawn or garden will help to prevent run off to water bodies or drainage systems. This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. Application around a cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking water or groundwater.

A lawn typically will utilize 1 to 4 lbs. of nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. per growing season. When used as directed, this product will supplement your regular fertilizer program by providing 0.5 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. and herbicide to control listed weeds. Please consult your local extension office for questions regarding a regular fertilizer program.
