Instructions:
This product provides both preemergence and postemergence control of crabgrass (including large, smooth, and southern species) in established lawns and ornamental turf. This product provides postemergence control of crabgrass through the 3 to 5 tiller stage of growth dependent upon location. The addition of a nonionic surfactant at a minimum of 0.25% v/v (2 pt per 100 gallons of spray) is recommended to improve postemergence control past the 5 leaf stage of growth. Read and follow the surfactant manufacturer's label directions. Postemergence control of this product can be improved by not mowing turfgrass within two days before or after application.
When applied at 2 pints per acre this product has demonstrated postemergent crabgrass control through the 3 to 5 tiller stage of growth in the western, southern and transition regions where warm-season turfgrasses are the predominate species.
In regions where cool-season turfgrasses are the predominant species, early postemergence crabgrass control is obtained when this product is applied prior to tiller initiation of crabgrass (less than 5 leaves per plant), which generally corresponds to the time when crabgrass seedlings are easily observed in lawn or turf.
For preemergence residual control of crabgrass, apply at least 0.5 inch of water after application; but in order to optimize postemergence control delay irrigation for 6 hours after application.
