Turf Use Instructions

This product is a selective preemergence and postemergence herbicide for control of
crabgrass, annual grass and broadleaf weeds and sedges in residential lawns.
This product is a flowable formulation (suspension concentrate) containing 0.4 lbs. of
active ingredient per gallon. The mode of action of this product involves uptake by both
weed roots and shoots of existing weeds and prevention of growth by newly emerged
weed seedlings.

This product can be applied using a hand trigger sprayer, pump-up sprayer or hose­end sprayer.

See Table 1 for specific use instructions for either cool or warm-season turfgrass
varieties. For preemergence applications, spray recommended rate evenly over entire
lawn. For postemergence applications, spray weeds directly until well covered. Do not
over-apply as this may cause undesirable turf injury.

For pump-up sprayers mix recommended amount of fluid ounces in Table 1
according to desired turfgrass type in 1 GALLON of water per 1,000 sq. ft.
covered.

Mix and apply only the amount of product needed to cover desired area. Do not store
mixed product.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

PRODUCT INFORMATION

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Established Turf

This product may be used on seeded, sodded or sprigged turfgrasses that are well established.
First application of this product can be made following the second mowing providing the

from application of this product on turf that is not well established or has been weakened by
stresses such as unfavorable weather conditions, disease, chemical or mechanical influences.

When applied as directed under the conditions described, the following
established grasses are tolerant to this product at the recommended use rates.
Do not exceed 8.25 fl. oz./1,000 sq.ft. per calendar year.

This product may be applied more than once per year if needed as long as total

amount applied does not exceed the maximum application rate listed per turf type or

8.25 fl. oz./1,000 sq.ft. per calendar year, whichever is lower.

3

This product application may cause temporary discoloration to exposed leaf surfaces on certain
cultivars of zoysiagrass. Treated turfgrass will recover with new growth. Discolored leaf tissue will be
removed with mowing. To reduce potential for discoloration, do not apply this product on turfgrass
that is weakened by weather, mechanical, chemical, disease or other related stress. Maintain proper
cultural practices such as adequate moisture and fertility levels to promote healthy turf growth.

4

Sequential application of this product may be needed in bermudagrass lawns for
season-long control of yellow nutsedge. If sequential application is needed apply no
more than 2.75 fl oz/1000 sq ft.

1. Poa annua is a winter annual. Applications of this product should be made in August
or September to established, non overseeded turf before Poa Annua germinates.
Consult local Cooperative Extension Service for more specific applications timings for
your local area since August and September are approximate timings.

2. Apply this product in late summer, fall or winter before weed germinates for control.

3. Crabgrass control in cool season grasses from fall application: Areas where the
ground is subject to winter freezes, this product may be applied in the fall at rates
listed in Table 1 (2.75 - 5.50 fl. oz. per 1,000 ft2) for cool season grasses when soil
temperatures are below 50ºF, but prior to the ground freezing. This will provide control
of crabgrass the following spring.

4. In areas of extended growing season and heavy pressure weed control will be
enhanced by second application of this product 60-90 days after initial application.

Postemergence Control of Annual, Biennial & Perennial Broadleaf Weeds,
Grasses and Sedges

This product will control or suppress the weeds listed in Table 3 when applied shortly
after weeds have emerged. Do not exceed the application rate specified for the turf
species in Table 1. Do not apply adjuvants or surfactants with post applications of this
product unless tested on small areas prior to broadcast applications.

1. Weeds are suppressed at lower label rates (<5.5 fl.oz/1,000 sq.ft.). For optimum
control apply rates of at least 5.5 fl.oz.per 1,000 sq.ft. in a single application. Do not
exceed the application rate specified for the turf species in Table 1.

2. This product controls crabgrass and goosegrass when applied postemergent to
newly emerged weeds in the 1-4 leaf stage of development.

Application to Reseeded, Overseeded or Sprigged Areas

Reseeding, overseeding or sprigging of treated areas within three to six (3-6) months
after application of this product could inhibit the establishment of desirable grasses.
See table for exact intervals from application.

Best results are obtained for reseeding or overseeding when mechanical or power
seeding equipment (slit seeders) are used to give good seed to soil contact and proper
soil cultivation, irrigation and fertilization practices are followed.

PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

CAUTION: Causes moderate eye irritation. Harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or

absorbed through skin. Avoid breathing vapor or spray mist. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact while
mixing or handling may cause allergic reactions in certain individuals. Wear
long-sleeved shirt and long pants, socks, shoes, and chemical-resistant gloves
(such as natural rubber, selection Category A). Wash thoroughly with soap and
water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco

or using the toilet.

This product is toxic to marine/estuarine invertebrates. Drift and runoff may be
hazardous to terrestrial and aquatic plants in neighboring areas. To protect the
environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage
ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather when
rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain
does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area. Rinsing application
equipment over the treated area will help avoid run off to water bodies or
drainage systems.
Groundwater advisor y: Sulfentrazone is known to leach through soil into

groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. Use of this

chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table
is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination.
Do not use on coarse soils classified as sand which have less than 1% organic
matter.
