Treating 5k sq ft Tall Fescue lawn in Knoxville, Tn. Should I use a low, medium or high application rate? I really wanted to do two applications 3-4 month apart in the spring based upon what I've read online
When doing a split application for herbicides, you want to apply at the low to mid rate to ensure you do not exceed the maximum annual rate allowed per the product label. The higher rate would be a for a single application.
The Anderson's 0.48 Barricade Herbicide rate for tall fescue is 1.8 lbs to 7.2 lbs per 1000 sq ft. For a split application, apply at 3.1 lbs per 1000 sq ft with a second application 6 weeks following the initial application of 3.1 lbs per 1000 sq ft.
Do not apply more than 2 applications per year or exceed the maximum annual amount of 7.2 lbs per 1000 sq ft.
