DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Not for use on plants being grown for sale or other commercial use, for commercial seed production, or for research purposes. For use on plants intended for aesthetic purposes or climatic modification and being grown in ornamental gardens or parks, or on golf courses or lawns and grounds. This is a selective pre-emergence herbicide that provides residual control of many grass and
broadleaf weeds in established lawns and ornamental turf (excluding golf course putting greens), landscape ornamentals and established perennials and wildflower plantings. It controls susceptible weeds by inhibiting weed seeds germination and root development.

When used according to directions, it will control: barnyardgrass; bluegrass, annual (Poa annua); carpetweed; chickweed, common; chickweed, mouseear (from seed); crabgrass (large, smooth); crowfootgrass; cupgrass, woolly; foxtails, annual; goosegrass; henbit; itchgrass; johnsongrass (from seed); junglerice; knotweed; kochia; lambsquarter, common; lovegrass; panicum (Texas, fall, browntop); pigweed; purslane, common; pusley, Florida; rescuegrass3; shepherd’s purse2; signalgrass, broadleaf; speedwell, Persian; sprangletop; spurge, prostrate; witchgrass; woodsorrel, yellow (from seed).

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS: Apply this uniformly, using a suitable spreader that has been properly calibrated. Most effective weed control will be obtained when this is activated by at least 0.5 inch of rainfall or irrigation, or with shallow (1 to 2 inches) incorporation, prior to weed seed germination and within 14 days after application.

RATES OF APPLICATION: This is recommended for use on the turf grass species listed in the following table. The maximum amount of this product that may be applied per year is given for each turf grass species. Do not exceed the maximum yearly rate listed:

Minimum and Maximum Application Rates (by Turf Grass Species)

This may be applied as a single application or in sequential applications to control weeds germinating throughout the year. Sequential applications may be made so long as the total amount of product applied does not exceed the maximum annual application rates recommended for each turf species. The length of time of residual weed control provided by this product is related to the rate applied. Use the higher rates listed for longer periods of weed control.

WHEN TO OVERSEED AFTER APPLICATION: This will inhibit germination of turf seed if overseeded too soon after application. Follow rates and intervals in table for best overseeding/ reseeding results.

LANDSCAPE ORNAMENTALS: (including established perennials and wildflower plantings): This may be applied for residual preemergence weed control in ornamentals. Apply at the rate of 4 to 9.3 lbs. / 1000 square feet in fall and/or spring. Use higher rates of application for longer control periods. Sequential or single applications are allowed so long as the total amount of product applied does not exceed the maximum annual application rate of 9.3 lbs / 1000 square feet per year.

APPLICATION TIMING AND INFORMATION: This may be applied to newly transplanted and established ornamentals a broadcast, over the top or directed application. Around new transplants, delay application to allow soil to settle and water thoroughly before applying. Apply after cuttings form roots and become established. Apply before budding/grafting or after buds/grafts have taken to avoid any inhibition of the tissue union. This product is a preemergence herbicide and will not control emerged weeds. Most effective weed control in ornamentals will be obtained when this product is activated by at least 0.5 inch of rainfall or irrigation, or with shallow (1 to 2 inch) mechanical incorporation, prior to weed seed germination and within 14 days following application. Best weed control is obtained when applied to soil free of clods, weeds, and debris such as leaves. Prior to application, control existing vegetation by hand weeding, cultivation or the use of an appropriate postemergence herbicide.
