Timing of Applications

For crabgrass control in the spring, summer, or fall, apply this product as a single application, a split application, or a sequential application.

Plan A:

• For preemergence control in turfgrass that is cut relatively high (e.g., residential lawns).
• Provides 3 to 5 months of preemergence crabgrass control and early postemergence control of crabgrass up to the 3-leaf stage at sites where turfgrass is cut relatively high.
• Make split applications with the rates in the Use Rates table being split across two applications made 5 to 10 weeks apart. Split applications may provide improved weed control.

Plan B:

• For preemergence control in turf: (a) when turfgrass is cut relatively low (e.g., golf fairways); and (b) when turfgrass maintenance or weed control has been conducted during the previous year.
• Provides 4 to 6 months of preemergence crabgrass control and for early postemergence control up to crabgrass tillering at sites where turfgrass is cut relatively high.
• Make split applications with the rates in the Use Rates table being split across two applications made 5 to 10 weeks apart. Split applications may provide improved weed control.

Plan C:

• Provides 4 to 6 months of preemergence crabgrass control and for early postemergence control up to crabgrass tillering at sites where turfgrass is cut relatively low (e.g., golf fairways).
• For longer periods of control, make subsequent sequential pre and/or postemergence applications.
• Make split applications with the rates in the Use Rates table being split across two applications made 5 to 10 weeks apart. Split applications may provide improved weed control.
