A second application may be made in 30 days.

and zoysiagrass. Established turf of cool season grasses includes Kentucky bluegrass,

perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, and turf-type tall fescues. Do not apply this product on carpetgrass, dichondra, St. Augustinegrass, or established turf containing desirable clovers.
