The best time to apply Negate 37WG Herbicide is when weeds are young, actively growing, and not yet mature. Applications should be made when air temperatures are between 65°F and 85°F for optimal performance.
For best results:
Avoid applying when turf is under stress from heat, drought, or disease, as temporary yellowing may occur.
Negate 37WG is labeled for use on:
It should only be applied when these grasses are:
Avoid application during transition periods (spring green-up) to prevent turf injury.

Negate 37WG is a systemic herbicide, so it works gradually after application.
Because it works internally, weeds may not die immediately, but the herbicide is actively controlling them during this time.
For standard applications:
Because of the unique formulation, you should never measure the dry product directly into your sprayer; always create the initial gallon of solution first.
Negate 37WG uses a two-step mixing process to ensure proper distribution of its active ingredients.
Step 1: Create a stock solution
Step 2: Dilute for application
Always agitate the solution before use to keep it evenly mixed.
1.5 oz. of Quali-Pro Negate 37WG per Acre
Quali-Pro Negate 37WG is a physical blend of two herbicides, Rimsulfuron and Metsulfuron-Methyl. As such, you need to mix the entire bottle (1.5 oz) with enough water to cover one acre and not make small individual tank mixes. To make spot treatments or small treatments with a hand sprayer or backpack sprayer, first make a one-acre mixture by mixing the entire bottle of 1.5 ounces of Negate 37WG in enough water to cover one acre. This can be done a clean container or in a Tip n Pour Measuring Bottle - Gallon Size. Small individual 1,000 sq. ft. applications can be done by filling your sprayer from the 1-acre pre-mix.
If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before usin
Quali-Pro Negate 37WG spray preparations are stable if they are pH neutral or alkaline, and stored at or below 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
If Quali-Pro Negate 37WG and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the QualiPro Negate 37WG in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the Quali-Pro NEGATE.
Yes, Negate 37WG is effective for spot treatments as well as broadcast applications.
For spot treating:
This method ensures accurate dosing even in small areas.
Yes, for best results, it is recommended to add a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) to your spray mixture.
Benefits of using a surfactant:
If weeds persist after the initial application:
Always monitor weed growth stage—applications are most effective on new, actively growing weeds.
Once the initial stock solution is prepared:
Do not store diluted spray mixtures long-term—only the concentrated stock solution.

Finally, quality bluegrass control
By Evan on 04/28/2020
Negate 37WG killed my Poa Annua (2+ months of growth) in 10-14 days, required no repeat application. Virginia buttonweed (2 weeks of growth) is requiring a repeat application, but the results with one application were better than others (e.g. MSMA, MSM alone). For smaller applications like mine, where accurately dosing small quantities of the Negate granules, I create and store an intermediate solution with 1 TBSP of Negate granules to 14 ounces of water. This solution can then be used at 1 ounce per gallon for 1000 sq. ft. The intermediate solution is stable when stored PH 7+, under 100 degrees, per the label.

big bang for the buck on grassy weeds
By Bradley on 06/06/2017
Had an excellent kill with a broadcast app for poa triv in my 1/2 acre bermuda lawn, 5-14 day kill- even with cooler temperatures. No more seed heads and thin spots when the summer heat arrives! I'll be looking to finally win the war on poa after combining this with a poa listed prem this fall and 2018.

Is there a specific time needed to wait before putting out a second application of Negate? My first SPOT treatment using 6oz in my 2-gallon sprayer worked well. Had to fill up 4 times, but it worked well. I have seen other POA pop up that I missed. Can I do a second treatment of Negate using my mixture prior to 30 days?
For a 2nd application of Negate 37WG Herbicide, you can reapply after 4 weeks if weed is still present.

You can reapply Negate 37WG Herbicide as directed after 4 weeks if the target weeds are still present.
For example, the day after a heavy rain - the foliage is dry but the soil is still damp and wet - is it okay to apply Negate in that capacity?
Yes, Negate 37WG Herbicide can be applied the day after rain as long as the area is not dripping wet still.

Can I spray Negate over Bermuda to kill blue grass while the Bermuda is greening up or do I need to wait another month for a well established lawn. It is March 1st and the blue grass is out growing the Bermuda. This is in the Houston area

Metsulfuron, the active ingredient in Negate 37WG Herbicide, is labeled for ryegrass control in many Kentucky bluegrass sites and may also provide some measure of tall fescue control. However, because only lower rates are safe on Kentucky bluegrass, metsulfuron will likely only injure tall fescue.
