WHERE TO USE
This product is a selective preemergence herbicide that controls grasses and broadleaf weeds in:
• Established Turf Grasses (excluding golf course putting greens) and Lawns
• Landscape Ornamentals
• Established perennials and wildflower plantings
HOW THIS PRODUCT WORKS
This product controls susceptible weeds by inhibiting growth and development of newly germinated weed seed. W eed control is most effective
when this product is activated with a minimum of 0.5 inches of rainfall or irrigation or by shallow incorporation 1 to 2 inches deep within 14 days of
application and before weed seeds germinate.
USE PRECAUTIONS
Not for use on plants being grown for:
• Sale or other commercial uses
• Commercial seed production
• Research purposes
• Do not graze or feed livestock forage cut from areas treated with this product.
• Do not apply aerially.
• Do not apply to putting greens.
• Do not apply through any type of irrigation system.
Failure to follow the directions for use and precautions on this label may result in poor weed control, crop injury, or illegal residues.
WEEDS CONTROLLED
When used as directed in this label, this product will control the following weeds:
Barnyardgrass
Bluegrass, Annual (Poa annua)
Carpetweed
Chickweed, mouse ear (from seed)
Crabgrass (large, smooth)
Crowfootgrass
Cupgrass, Woolly
Foxtails, Annual
Goosegrass

Henbit
Itchgrass
Johnsongrass (from seed)
Knotweed
Kochia
Lambsquarters, common

Sprangletop
Spurge, Prostrate
Witchgrass
Woodsorrel, Yellow (from seed)

In many areas a single application of 5.3 lbs to 12.3 lbs of product/1,000 square feet will control goosegrass. Under heavy goosegrass pressure and/
or extended growing season, the most effective weed control may be obtained by making an initial application of 5/3 lbs to 8.2 lbs of product/1,000
square feet followed by a second application 60 to 90 days later at doses that would not exceed the maximum annual rate for the turf grass species
listed in the Maximum Annual Rate table. 2
Applications for this weed should be made in late summer, fall, or winter prior to germina tion. 3
Suppression only. Sequential application may be made so long as the total amount of product applied does not exceed the maximum annual
application rates for each turf species. All applications must be made prior to germination of the weed seeds.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Apply uniformly with suitable, calibrated application equipment.
ESTABLISHED TURF
This product is a selective preemergence herbicide that, when properly applied, will control certain grass and broadleaf weeds in established turf
grasses and lawns. The maximum amount of this product that may be applied per year is given for each turf grass species in the Maximum Annual
Rate section of this label. Most effective weed control in turf grasses will be obtained when this product is activated by at least 0.5 inches of rainfall or
irrigation prior to weed seed germination and within 14 days following application. The map below lists approximate crabgrass seed germination dates.
CRABGRASS SEED GERMINATION DA TES
USE PRECAUTIONS FOR TURF GRASS AND LA WNS
• Application of this product may thin emerged annual bluegrass and newly overseeded grasses.
• Do not apply to overseeded turf within 60 days after seeding or until after the second mowing, whichever is longer. Injury to desirable seedlings
is likely if this product is applied before seedling secondary roots are in the 2nd inch of soil, not thatch plus soil.
• Do not cut (harvest) treated sod before 120 days after application.
• Do not apply to newly set sod until the following year.
• Application of this product to turf stressed by drought, low fertility , or pest damage may result in turf injury.
• Disturbing the herbicide barrier with cultural practices such as disking may result in reduced weed control.
• Do not apply this product to putting greens or areas where dichondra, colonial bentgrass, velvet bentgrass, or annual bluegrass (Poa annua)
are desirable species.
RATES OF APPLICATION
This product may be applied as a single application or in two sequential applications 60-90 days apart to control weeds germinating throughout the
year. All applications must be made prior to germination of the target weeds. This product will not control established weeds. Maximum use rate
selection should be based on turf species. The length of time of residual weed control product is related to the rate applied. Do not make more than
two (2) applications per calendar year.
Florida Applications: Apply at the rate of 3.2 pounds per 1,000 sq. ft. Do not exceed 2 applications per year.
MAXIMUM ANNUAL RA TES
This product is recommended for use on the turf grass species listed in the following table. Do not exceed the maximum yearly rate as given in the
following table.

May be used on newly sprigged or plugged Bermudagrass
at rates not to exceed 4.1 lbs of product/1,000 square feet.
Newly sprigged or plugged Bermudagrass stolon rooting
may be temporarily retarded. Only suppression of foxtail,
goosegrass, and rescuegrass will be obtained due to
reduced product rates used in sprigging situations.
Do not apply more than 12.3 lbs of product/1,000 square feet.
per calendar year.
Use higher rates of this product to achieve higher levels of
fertility and longer periods of weed control for each turf type,
but do not exceed the maximum application rates specified
in the Maximum Annual Rates Table.
Florida Applications: Do not exceed 6.4 pounds of product
per 1,000 square feet per calendar year.
WHEN TO APPLY AFTER OVERSEEDING TURF
Do not apply to overseeded turf within 60 days after seeding or until after the second mowing whichever is longer. Injury to desirable seedlings is
likely if this product is applied before seedling secondary roots are in the second inch of soil, not thatch plus soil.
WHEN TO OVERSEED AFTER APPLICA TION
This product will inhibit the germination of turf species if overseeded too soon after application. Follow rates and intervals in the following table

ESTABLISHED LANDSCAPE ORNAMENT ALS
This product may be applied to established ornamentals as a broadcast over the top or directed application. Irrigation or rainfall soon after
application will wash residues off plant foliage and activate it into the soil.
USE RATES AND WHEN TO APPLY
Apply in the fall and/or spring at 5.3 to 12.3 lbs of this product per 1,000 square feet of ornamental plantings. Use the higher rates of application
for longer periods of control. Two sequential applications may be made 60-90 days apart as long as the total amount of product applied does not
exceed the maximum annual application rate of 12.3 lbs per 1,000 square feet.
