APPLICATION TIMING AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This product is a preemergence herbicide that will not control established weeds. Make applications prior to
weed seed germination. Bare ground or mulched areas may be treated. The best weed control is obtained when
applied to soil that is free of clods, weeds and debris such as leaves. Prior to making an application, control
existing vegetation by hand weeding, cultivation or with a postemergence herbicide. Avoid disturbance of treated
areas. Loss of weed control may result if the treated soil surface is disturbed by soil mixing or tillage.
USE PRECAUTIONS
• Apply this product only to established ornamentals.
• Do not incorporate this product into soil. Dilution of active ingredient and possible injury to plant roots may occur.
• Do not apply to soil around ornamental plants that are under stress due to drought, flooding, excessive
fertilizer or soil salts, wind injury, hail, frost damage, winter injury, injury from previously applied pesticides or
injury due to insects, nematodes or disease.
• To avoid foliar damage to ornamentals, irrigate immediately after application to remove herbicide particles
from the foliage.
• Do not apply under conditions that would affect product distribution. Wind could affect distribution and move
product onto sensitive species. Uneven product distribution will result in uneven weed control.
• Do not apply another herbicide within 4 weeks of application of this product.
• Do not apply this product to bare roots of ornamental plants as injury may result. Following transplanting, care
must be taken that soil or planting mixes have settled firmly through irrigation, rainfall or packing and that there
are no cracks that would allow direct contact of this product to the plant roots or plant injury may occur.
