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 twelve (3-12)
months* after application of this product could inhibit the establishment of desirable
turfgrasses. See Table 4 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.

IRUPRUHVSHFL¿FDSSOLFDWLRQWLPLQJVIRU\RXUORFDODUHD
since August-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
(1.91 - 5.74 pound per 1,000 ft
2
) for cool season grasses
when soil temperatures are below 50°F, but prior to the
ground freezing. This will provide control of crabgrass the
following spring.
