You may want to read over our Fertilizer Buyer's Guide for general information to determine what your lawn is in need of, based on Soil Testing and other factors. Per the product label for Pramaxis MEC Plant Growth Regulator it may cause temporary yellowing so this is normal. This usually disappears about one week after application.

Pramaxis MEC Plant Growth Regulator works by suppressing the vertical growth of only the grasses listed on the product label. It is not intended to be used to stunt grassy weed growth. You would need to use a post emergent to get complete control of those depending on the the type of grassy weeds you are dealing with. When the vertical growth is stunted, lateral growth is stimulated, creating a thick, dense, and more weed-resistant turf.

The rate for Pramaxis MEC Plant Growth Regulator will depend on the type of turfgrass you have ranging between 0.10 to 1.0 fl oz per 1000 sq ft (4.5 fl oz to 44 fl oz per acre). Refer to the Application Rate Chart on page 5 of the product label in the Residential & Commercial Column for those rates. You will need to know the total square footage of the cemetary/lot you are treating. If treating less than an acre, multilply the # of ounces per 1000 sq ft (See Rate Chart) by the total number of square feet to get the total number of fluid ounces of Pramaxis MEC for the application. For water volume in your sprayer, the product label states to use no less than ½ gallon of water per 1000 sq ft or 20 gallons of water for the application.
