environmental conditions, or for weeds beyond the appropriate growth stages.

The maximum application rate is 6.67 pints of product per acre per application. The
maximum number of broadcast applications is limited to 2 per year with a minimum of

FOUR STEPS TO APPLY
1. Measure the total (entire) lawn area to be sprayed. For rectangular areas, multiply
the length by the width to obtain total square feet.
2. TO BEGIN spraying: Connect a garden hose to the hose-end sprayer. Make sure
the control valve on the nozzle is in the OFF position. Turn on water at faucet.
Point (Aim) nozzle toward lawn and turn the control valve to the ON position. Water
will automatically mix with the product. Spray evenly over the measured area.
3. SPRAY: Spray evenly over the measured area. Walk at a steady pace. This 16 fl.
oz. container will treat 10,500 sq. ft. (cool season) turfgrass or 21,000 sq. ft. (warm

4. TO STOP spraying: Turn control valve to the OFF position. Turn off water at faucet.
To relieve (discharge) pressure, turn control valve to ON position and wait until
water stops spraying before removing sprayer from hose.
