4 weeks after crabgrass has germinated. This generally corresponds to the time when crabgrass seedlings
first become visible in the established turfgrass. Do not apply this product later than 4 weeks after crabgrass
germination.

Use Precautions for Turf
This product should be applied only to lawns and ornamental turfgrasses that are well established. For newly
established lawns, initial application of this product should be made only after turfgrasses have developed a
vigorous root system, uniform stand, and received at least two mowings following seeding, sodding, or sprigging.
Exception: In newly established lawns of Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass and/or tall fescue, this product
may be applied two weeks after the first sign of germination.
• Use of this product on lawns and ornamental turfgrasses that are not well established, or weakened by stress
due to mechanical operations, pests, excessive temperatures, or lack of moisture may result in turfgrass injury.
• For best results, cultural practices that disturb the soil, such as core-, spike-, or hydro-aerification, and
verticutting, should be done before application of this product. Do not apply this product until turfgrass has
recovered from the mechanical injury caused by these cultural practices.
