Prime Source Meso 4SC Select contains the same active ingredient as the popular Tenacity Herbicide. Meso 4SC is a unique herbicide formulated for both post and pre-emergence and controls over forty-five broadleaf weed species and grasses in turf grass. This herbicide represses photosynthesis in susceptible and receptive plants as it is absorbed systemically through roots, leaves, and shoots. It can be effectively used against weed invasion and also promotes excellent control of tough-to-control weeds before and during seeding of particular types of turf grasses. This formula can be employed anytime during seeding including over seeding of established turf grass, during renovation, or bare ground seeding. Weeds are expected to die and wither within 3 weeks from the application, turning the weeds white in color due to the loss of chlorophyll. Whitening of the turf grass is common but temporary and typically occurs between 5 to 7 days after application and may last for several works. This product comes in an 8-ounce bottle and 1 gallon jug.
A non-ionic surfactant should be added in post-emergence applications.
A spray indicator dye can be added to see where your spray has been applied.
***Meso 4SC Select is not for use on Bermudagrass when actively growing or St. Augustine home lawns***

Pre-Emergence Applications: Apply 4 to 8 fluid ounces per acre in at least 30 gallons of water per acre before seeds germinate or as close to seed germination as possible. Combine this product with another pre-emergence herbicide for extended control of crabgrass and foxtail.
Pre-Emergence Application Precautions: It is most effective on established turf when applied post-emergence unless it is combined with another soil active herbicide.
Pre-Emergence Application Restrictions: Do not exceed 5 fluid ounces per acre per application to perennial ryegrass, fine fescues, or mixed stands that consist of greater than 50% perennial ryegrass and/or fine fescue. For St. Augustinegrass sods, do not exceed 4 fluid ounces per acre.
Application to New Seedings and New Lawns: Apply 5 to 8 fluid ounces per acre in at least 30 gallons of water per acre before seeding or after seeding of tolerance turfgrass species listed below, except fine fescue, as an application to fine fescue can reduce grass density. It can be effectively used on grass seed blends that contain less than 20% by weight hard/fine fescue. For optimal control, apply at grass seeding or as close to seeding as possible.
New Seedings and New Lawns Restrictions: Do not spray on newly germinated turfgrass. Delay treatment until the grass has been mowed 2 to 4 times and/or 4 weeks after emergence (whichever is longer).
Post-Emergence Applications: Apply 4 to 8 fluid ounces per acre in at least 30 gallons of water per acre with a non-ionic surfactant. Make a repeat application 2 to 3 weeks later for optimal weed control. Apply to young, actively growing weeds.
Post-Emergence Application Precautions: Moisture stress and application to mature weeds can reduce herbicide efficacy.
Bentgrass/Nimbleweed Treatment: Apply 5 fl. oz. Meso 4 SC Select peracre in at least 30 gallons of water per acre combined with a NIS surfactant at 2-3 weeks interval for a maximum of 3 applications. For optimal weed control, apply in late summer/early fall just prior to new growth.
St. Augustinegrass (Sod uses only) and Centipedegrass Treatment: Apply to established turf only.
St. Augustinegrass (Sod uses only) and Centipedegrass Restrictions:
Do not exceed 4 fl. oz. Meso 4 SC Select if tank mixing with Atrazine or Simazine. Do not exceed 0.5 lb. atrazine or simazine active ingredient. See atrazine.simazine labels for precautions and restrictions.
Dormant Bermudagrass Application only: Apply 5 fl. oz. per acre of Meso 4 SC Select to control winter weeds listed in the Weeds Controlled table below. Make a repeat application 2-3 weeks later. Application of Meso 4 SC Select to semi-dormant turf will cause bermudagrass whitening.
