This product is intended for use by homeowners on residential lawns. This product should be applied only to the following species of turfgrass:

Cool season turfgrass
Kentucky bluegrass
Perennial ryegrass
Fescue spp., including tall, red and fine leaf fescues

Warm season turfgrass
Bermudagrass**
Zoysiagrass
Buffalograss

**Application to Bermudagrass may cause temporary yellowing or discoloration but full recovery can be expected. Do not apply to Bermudagrass when daytime temperatures exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

DO NOT USEthis product on lawns containing bentgrass, St. Augustinegrass, bahiagrass, centipedegrass or carpetgrass. Also, do not use on dichondra or lawns with desirable clovers or legumes. Do not use on vegetable gardens, fruits or ornamentals (flowers, trees, groundcovers, hedges, landscape/flower beds and shrubs).

Apply this product to actively growing weeds during the early growth stages for the best results. Apply in spring or fall when daytime temperatures are between 45 degrees Fahrenheit and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Fall applications may control winter annual and biennial weeds that may otherwise resprout the following spring. For heavy grass weed pressure, apply a second application at the same rate, 14 days after the first application.

WHEN TO USE:

CRABGRASS (large and smooth):

Spring: For the best results, apply this product from crabgrass emergence until the six-leaf stage (two tillers) or before the crabgrass is 3-4 inches in height. Generally, this period begins or corresponds to the first time that you can see crabgrass in your lawn. Use two applications at the same rate with a 14-day interval for dense populations.

HOW MUCH TO USE:

ee the following table for calculating the correct amount of product to use for the area to be treated.
The maximum application rate is 6 1/2 fl oz of product per 1,000 sq ft per application (0.6 lb 2,4-D acid equivalent per acre per application).
The maximum number of broadcast applications is limited to two per year.
The maximum seasonal rate is 13 fl oz of product per 1,000 sq ft (1.2 lb 2,4-D acid equivalent per acre), excluding spot treatments.

MEASUREMENT CALCULATIONS: Total lawn area in square feet = length x width.

EQUAL MEASURES:

• 1 fl oz = 2 Tbsp = 6 tsp
• 2 fl oz = 4 Tbsp
• 4 fl oz = 1/2 cup
• 8 fl oz = 1 cup
• 16 fl oz = 1 pt
• 32 fl oz = 1 qt

SPOT TREATMENT

To treat small areas or individual weeds, use a pressure sprayer for better control. Mix the indicated amount of product listed with 1 gal of water for each 500 sq ft to be treated. Shake well before spraying. Spray the target weeds thoroughly. Nozzle adjustments may be necessary to deliver small spray droplets on the target weeds for uniform coverage.

Amount of product to be diluted in 1 gal water required to treat 500 sq ft of lawn with pressure sprayers.

**Application to Bermudagrass may cause temporary yellowing or discoloration but full recovery can be expected. Do not apply to Bermudagrass when daytime temperatures exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

ENTIRE LAWN TREATMENTS

Three easy steps to mix and apply with hand-operated sprayers:

1. Calculate (measure) the total lawn area to be treated. For rectangular areas, multiply the length of the area by the width to obtain total square feet. Prepare enough spray solution to treat the area calculated.
2. Prepare the spray mixture according to Table 1. Measure the proper amount of product to treat 1,000 sq ft. If more or less than 1,000 sq ft is to be treated, adjust the amount of product as shown in Table 1.
3. Shake the spray solution before and during application. Use a spray pattern that gives small droplets without any fine mist.
