Landscape Application Instructions
Apply Crew prior to weed seed germination in the early spring or fall or following a complete weed removal. Repeat application after three months (maximum residual) during the growing season. Apply Crew at 150 pounds per acre per application, with a maximum of two applications per year. Crew is not registered for use on vegetables, edible fruit bearing crops or bedding plants.
For optimum results remove established weed by handweeding, mechanical methods or with postemergence herbicides prior to application of Crew. If applied to new plantings, irrigate with water to settle and firm up soil around roots.
To ensure optimal herbicidal response, water treated areas within 21 days of application if rainfall is not expected. A single rainfall or sprinkler irrigation of 0.5 inch is often required to activate this product. Mulch can be applied either prior to or after application.
In order for Crew to provide maximum preemergent weed control activity, use the following cultural practices. Prior to application, the bed or soil surface should be smooth and free of plant and weed debris (decaying leaves, clippings, dead weeds, etc.). Leaves and debris may be removed by blowing the area to be treated or by thoroughly mixing the debris trash into the soil through cultivation prior to herbicide application.
Specific Use Restrictions For Landscape Ornamentals:
Trees
Shrubs
Groundcovers/Perennials
*See label for the complete list of Ornamentals Tolerant to Crew
Treatment of Ornamental Species Not Listed on the Label for Crew Herbicide
When applied as directed under the conditions described on this label, ornamentals listed above have shown tolerance in field trials. However, Crew has not been tested on all cultivars of each species or under all possible growing conditions. Under your growing conditions, a limited number of plants should be treated for tolerance evaluations, prior to initiating large-scale applications. Follow directions given below to determine plant tolerance under your growing conditions prior to large scale use.
Users who wish to use Crew on plant species not specified on this label may determine the suitability for use by treating a small number of such plants at the specified rate. Prior to treatment of larger areas, the treated plants should be observed for any sign of herbicidal injury for 30 to 60 days of normal growing conditions to determine if the treatment is safe to the target plant species. The user assumes responsibility for any plant damage or other liability resulting from use of Crew on plant species not recommended on this label.
Apply Crew using a drop or rotary-type spreader designed to apply granular fertilizer. Calibrate application equipment prior to use according to manufacturer's directions. Check frequently to be sure equipment is working properly and distributing granules uniformly. Do not use spreaders that apply material in narrow concentrated bands. Avoid skips or overlaps as poor weed control or plant injury may occur. More uniform application may be achieved by spreading half of the required amount of product over the area and then applying the remaining half in swaths at right angles to the first. When using a drop-type spreader, a splashboard mounted below the release point will provide more even granule distribution.
Broadcast Application Rates
Apply Crew at a broadcast rate of 150 lb (0.375 lb dithiopyr and 0.75 lb isoxaben) per acre (3.44 lb/1000 sq ft) in landscape ornamental applications or at a broadcast rate of 150 lb (0.375 lb dithiopyr and 0.75 lb isoxaben) to 200 lb (0.5 lb dithiopyr, 1.0 lb isoxaben) per acre (3.44 to 4.59 lb/1000 sq ft) in turfgrass applications.
*See label for the complete list of weeds controlled and application rates.
This product is toxic to fish and highly toxic to other aquatic organisms including oysters and shrimp. Use with care when applying to turf areas adjacent to any body of water. Drift and runoff from treated turf may adversely affect aquatic organisms in adjacent aquatic sites. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters.
Ground Water Advisory: This pesticide has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. This chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
Surface Water Advisory: This pesticide may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soil and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having a high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after application. A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams and springs will reduce the potential load of isoxaben from run off water and sediment.
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Read all Directions for Use carefully before applying
REFORMULATION OR REPACKAGING OF THIS PRODUCT IS PROHIBITED.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
Crew Specialty Herbicide

I call Crew Specialty Herbicide a miracle in a bag. It has Isoxaben (Gallery) and dithiopyr (Dimension) that stops just about every kind of weed imaginable, even clover. It really is a 2-in-1 formula solution for turfgrass. Just put it on your lawn with your spreader according to label directions before weeds germinate --- and then you won't have dandelions, crabgrass, chickweed and all the other usual suspects sprouting and developing on your lawn. It is really quite simple. The product stops weed seeds from growing. No sprouting weed seeds equals no weeds. Could anything be simpler? You mustn't wait until you already have weeds adorning your lawn. Apply Crew (it's a pre-emergent) early and well before weeds decorate your lawn. Crew will prevent their germination and sprouting from ever happening. Simply put, Crew is an effective preventative approach that prevents weeds from growing before they germinate from weed seeds and will prevent those weed seedlings from growing to maturity. Then, you'll just have beautiful green grass without nasty weed growing in it. I have been looking for something like this for years. The whole entire straightforward key to success is to be sure to apply it before those ghastly weeds germinate, such as in the early spring, and then you won't have various kinds of weeds sprouting and thriving on your lawn. It's as easy and unmistakable as that. I am thrilled to now have a product that really works and I thank DoMyOwn for having such wonderful professional products such as Crew Specialty Herbicide. As I mentioned, I have been looking for something like this to stop weeds in my lawn for a long time so I have to say it again --- it's a miracle in a bag. _______________________________
