WHERE TO USE

WEED CONTROL: Use along fences, paths, patios, sidewalks, curbs and driveways and around ornamental trees, shrubs, flower beds and plantings around buildings. Use for trimming and edging landscapes.
SPOT TREATMENTS: Spray directly on actively growing weeds in and around flower beds, ornamental trees, shrubs, fences, driveways and walkways.
LANDSCAPES: For use in preparing areas for planting of ornamentals, trees, shrubs, desert landscapes, rock gardens and flower beds. Treated areas can be replanted one day after treatment.
FOR LAWN RENOVATION/REPLACEMENT:

  1. Determine size of area to be treated — measure length and width in feet, then multiply to determine coverage area in square feet (length x width).
  2. Use this product to remove the old lawn and existing weeds and grasses.
  3. For best results, apply in spring or fall, when daytime temperatures are at least 60°F.
  4. If the lawn is dry, water lawn every other day for a week before applying this product.
  5. DO NOT mow for seven days before or after treatment.
  6. Use 7 fl oz (14 Tbsp) per gallon of water for each 300 sq ft of area to be treated, which is equivalent to 0.011 lb diquat dibromide, 0.005 lb fluazifop-p-butyl and 0.003 lb dicamba acid equivalent per 300 sq ft and is the maximum single use rate.
    DO NOT apply more than twice a year and DO NOT apply within three months of the previous application.
    7 fl oz of product per 300 sq ft is the same as 23.31 fl oz of product per 1,000 sq ft (equivalent to 0.037 lb diquat dibromide, 0.017 lb fluazifop-p-butyl and 0.010 lb dicamba acid equivalent per 1,000 sq ft).

WHEN TO APPLY

  • For best results, apply during warm, sunny weather (above 60°F) when weeds are actively growing. Rainfall or watering 15 minutes after application will not wash away effectiveness.
  • To avoid drift to desirable plants, apply when the air is calm.

WHEN TO REPLANT

  • All ornamental flowers, trees and shrubs may be planted one day after application.

TIPS FOR REPLANTING

  • Wait seven days after last application to rake, till or replant with seed or sod.
  • Rake up and remove loosened thatch or debris.
  • Mix in starter fertilizer and soil amendments, if needed. Level the soil.
  • Apply seed according to directions on seed package, or install sod. Grass seed must have good contact with soil to germinate and grow.
  • Keep area moist for two weeks to establish new lawn, then water as needed.

HOW TO APPLY‡

  • Completely wet the foliage of the target vegetation.
  • A single application controls most weeds.
  • Most treated weeds usually show initial symptoms within 24 hours and complete kill in one to two weeks.
  • Protect desirable plants with a piece of plastic or cardboard.
  • If desirable plants are accidentally sprayed, wash plants with water immediately.

‡ Visual symptoms and time to complete kill will depend on weed and grass type, temperature and application rate.

USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Users should remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

Environmental Hazards
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. 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. This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater. This product is classified as having a high potential for reaching surface water via runoff. This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features, such as ponds, streams and springs, will reduce the potential loading of fluazifop-p-butyl from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours. NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY: This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift.

To the extent required by applicable law, buyer assumes all responsibility for safety and use not in accordance with directions.
