APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS AND EQUIPMENT
This product may be applied with drop or rotary-type spreaders designed to apply granular herbicides. For
best results, apply this product evenly and uniformly avoiding streaking, skips or overlaps. Avoid the use of
spreaders that tend to apply granules in narrow rows or concentrated bands. Calibrate the spreader according
to the manufacturer’s directions. Initial spreader settings may require adjustment to deliver the recommended
application rate under actual application conditions. The desired calibration setting may be marked or recorded
for future reference. Apply this product uniformly over the treatment area. More uniformity of application can
usually be achieved by applying one-half of the required amount of product over the treatment area and then
applying the remaining one-half in a different direction (e.g., at a right angle to the previous direction). Avoid
streaking, skips, or overlaps during application.
Check equipment frequently to verify calibration and proper functioning.
