Reseeding, Overseeding or Sprigging: Reseeding, overseeding or sprigging of treated areas within 12 weeks after application of this product may inhibit the establishment of desirable turfgrasses. When seeding, follow good cultural practices such as soil cultivation, irrigation and fertilization. For best results, use mechanical or power seeding equipment (slit seeders) for good seed-to-soil contact. Use Restrictions: Do not apply more than 6.67 lbs/1000 sq ft (0.5 lbs al/acre) per application. Do not apply more than 20 lbs/1000 sq ft (1.5 lbs al/acre) per year. In New York, do not apply more than 6.67 lbs/1000 sq ft per year. Do not use clippings from treated turf for animal feed or for mulching around vegetables or fruit trees. Do not allow domestic animals to feed or forage on treated turf. Keep people and pets off treated areas until dust has settled. Crabgrass Control: Dithiopyr 0.172% plus fertilizer provides pre-emergence control of crabgrass (large smooth and southern species) when applied prior to emergence of crabgrass from the ground. Dithiopyr 0.172% plus fertilizer provides early post emergence control during the early stages of growth after crabgrass emerges from the ground. This early post-emergence controls is limited and applications are only effective if applied before the crabgrass has its 3-leaf or first tier (which usually is about the time when you can first see the crabgrass in the lawn). With this post-emergence activity, the applicator has 2 to 4 weeks longer to make applications for control of crabgrass. Application Instructions: For best results, apply Dithiopyr 0.172% plus fertilizer within a few days after mowing and delay mowing again for a few days after application. Rainfall or irrigation activates the product. Improved weed control will result if the application is followed by 1/2 inch of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation. Weed control may be hampered if rainfall or irrigation does not occur with 30 days after application. Split, or half rate applications spaced 5 to 10 weeks apart may also enhance weed control. Cultural practices such as aerification and de-thatching should be completed and the turf allowed to recover before application of this product. Application Timing: This product may be applied as a single application, split application, or as a sequential application for crabgrass control in the spring, summer or fall as described below. Spring Applications: For single applications in the spring or early summer, follow the appropriate rate listed in the application rates table below. Rates are based on the location to be used (region), the mowing height of the turfgrass, and whether the timing of the application is considered preemergence or postemergence. The length of residual weed control is dependent on the total rate applied, but may vary depending on weather, weed pressure and location. Program 1: For preemergence control to turf mowed relatively high, such as home lawns, this program will provide 3 to 5 months of preemergence crabgrass control. Do not use this program for early postemergence control of crabgrass.
