When to Apply:

• Apply when weeds are actively growing. Retreatment may be necessary when weed pressures are high, when soil moisture is low, or when weeds are not actively growing.
• To avoid injury to improved varieties of St. Augustinegrass or Centipedegrass, apply when night-time temperatures are above 50°F for 7 consecutive nights.

Application Tips:

• Moisture on leaf surface is not required. Apply when weed leaves are wet or dry.
• Temperatures below 50°F will reduce weed control activity.
• For best results, water-in granules within 48 hours after treatment.
• For best results, postpone mowing until granules are watered-in.
• For best winter annual control (henbit, false dandelion, and chickweed) apply in early fall.
