Ferti-lome Dollar Weed Control

HOW MUCH TO APPLY

Apply to established turfgrass. Possible re-treatment in approximately 30 days may be necessary if turfgrass 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 turfgrass may occur. Do not make more than two applications per season.

Note: When applying to warm season turfgrass under conditions of inadequate moisture, high temperature and high humidity, over application may cause minor temporary discoloration. It is recommended to reduce application rates by 50% during hot, dry conditions to avoid possible dehydration or browning of turfgrass.

WHEN TO APPLY

Best weed control results are obtained when it is applied to small, actively growing weeds in the spring or early fall. Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperatures prior to, at, or following time of application may reduce weed control. Broadleaf weed species germinate at different times.

APPLICATION TECHNIQUES FOR APPLYING FERTILOME DOLLAR WEED CONTROL

When using a drop-type spreader, a splash board mounted under the hopper will provide more even granule distribution.

A chain fastened to the side of the spreader and allowed to drag on the soil can be used to mark the edge of the treated swath and help prevent skips and overlaps.

For treating smaller areas, a hand held or push-type rotary applicator such as a whirlybird or cyclone unit is recommended.

For hand held units, walk and turn the crank at a constant rate of speed.

A shaker-type applicator made from a small container with holes punched in the bottom is recommended for small, difficult to treat areas. Carefully measure the amount of product needed to avoid over application.
