I. General Information 
Poast" 2.0 herbicide is a selective, broad spectrum, 
post emergence herb'lc'lde for control of annual and 
perennial grass weeds. Poast 2.0 does not control 
sedges or broadleaf weeds. Essentially, all grass 
crops, such as sorghum, corn, small grains, and rice, 
as well as ornamental grasses, such as turf, are 
susceptible to Poast 2.0. 
Mode of Action 
Poast 2.0 rapidly enters the targel weed through its 
foliage and translocates throughout the plant. The 
effects range from slowing or stopping growth 
(generally within 2 days), to foliage reddening and leaf 
tip burn. Subsequently, foliage burnback may occur. 
These symptoms will generally be observed within 3 
weeks depending on environmental conditions. 
Crop Tolerance 
All labeled crops are tolerant to Poast 2.0 at all 
stages of growth. 
Herbicide Resistance 
Repeated use of Poast 2.0 (or similar postemergence 
grass herbicides with the same mode of action) may 
lead to the selection of naturally occurring biotypes . 
with resistance to these products. If poor performance 
cannot be attributed to adverse weather conditions or 
improper application methods, a resistant biotype may 
be present. Consult your local representative or 
agricultural advisor for assistance. 
Irrigation 
In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate 
before treatment to ensure active weed growth. 
Cultivation 
Do not cultivate within 5 days before or 7 days after 
3 
.} [Iil 
applYing Poast 2.0. Cultivating 7 days or later after 
treatment may help provide season-long control. 
Cleaning Spray Equipment 
Clean spray equipment thoroughly using a strong 
detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to 
the manufacturer's directions before and after applying 
this product. 
II. Application Instructions 
Applications can be made to actively growing weeds 
as aenal, broadcast, band, or spot spray applications 
at the rates and growth stages listed in Tables 1, 2 
and 3, unless Instructed differently in section VI. 
Crop-Specific Information. The most effective 
control will result from making post emergence 
applications of Poast 2.0 early, when weeds are 
small. Delaying application permits weeds to exceed 
the maximum size stated and may prevent adequate 
control. 
Apply Poast 2.0 to the foliage of grasses uniformily 
and completely because large leaf canopies shelter 
smaller weeds and can prevent adequate spray 
coverage. Do not spray to the point of runoff. 
Aerial Application Meth'ods and 
Equipment 
Spray Drift Management 
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the 
responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many 
equlpment-and-weather-related factors determine the 
potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower 
are responsible for considering all these factors when 
mak'lng deCisions. The following drift management 
requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift 
movement from aerial applications to agricultural field 
crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry 
applications, public health uses or to applications 
using dry formulations. 
1 Tne distance of the outer most nozzles on the 
boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the 
wingspan or rotor. 
2 Nozzles must always point backward parallel with 
the air stream and never be pointed downward 
more than 45 degrees. Where states have more 
stringent regulations, they should be observed. 
The applicator should be familiar with and take into 
account the information covered in the Aerial Drift 
Reduction Advisorv Information. 
Importance of Droplet Size 
The most effective wajo-to reduce drift potential is to 
apply large droplets. The best drift management 
strategy IS to apply the largest droplets that provide 
suffiCient coverage and control. Applying larger 
droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent 
drift if applications are made improperly, or under 
unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, 
Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversion 
section of this label). 
Controlling Droplet Size 
Volume - Use high ftow rate nozzles to apply the 
highest practical spay volume. Nozzles with higher 
rated flows produce larger droplets. Use a minimum of 
5 gallons of water per acre. Increase water volume to 
at least 10 gallons of water per acre if grass foliage or 
crop canopy is dense.

Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures 
recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces 
droplet size and does not improve canopy protection. 
When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow 
rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. Use up to 
40 psi. 
Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of 
nozzles that provide uniform coverage. 
Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the 
spray is released backward, parallel to the airstream, 
will produce larger droplets than other orientations. 
Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce 
droplet size and increase drift potential. 
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for 
the intended application. With most nozzle types, 
narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. 
Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles 
oriented straight back produce larger droplets than 
other nozzle types. Use only diaphragm-type nozzles 
that produce fan spray patterns. 
Boom Length - For some use patterns, reducing the 
effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan 
or rotor length may further reduce drift without 
oducing swath width. 
__ ,£plication - Applications should not be made at a 
c8ight greater than 10 feet above the top of the 
~est plants unless a greater height is required for 
~,' craft safety. Making applications at the lowest height 
that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to 
evaporation and wind. 
Swath Adjustment 
When applications are rnade with a cross-wind, the 
swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the 
up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator 
must compensate for this displacement by adjusting 
the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment 
distance should increase, with increasing drift potential 
(higher wind, smaller drops, etc.). 
Wind 
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 
mph. Hov"ever, many factors, including droplet size 
and equipment type, determine drift potential at any 
1iven speed. Application should be avoided below 2 
/lph due to variable wind direction and high inversion 
potential. Do not apply Poast" 2.0 herbicide by 
'~raft when wind is blowing more 10 mph. Note: 
Joal terrain can influence wind patterns. Every 
applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns 
and how they affect drift. 
Temperature and Humidity 
When rnaking applications in low relative humidity, set 
equipment up to produce larger droplets to 
compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is 
most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 
Temperature Inversions 
Applications should not occur during a temperature 
inversion, because drift potential is high. Temperature 
irrversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes 
small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated 
cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions 
due to the light variable winds common during 
inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized 
6 
6 
by increasing temperatures with altitude and are 
common on nights with limited cloud cover and light 
to no wind. They begin to fonm as the sun sets and 
often continue into the morning. Their presence can 
be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not 
present, inversions can also be identified by the 
movement of smoke from a ground source or an 
aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and 
moves literally in a connected cloud (under low wind 
conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that 
moves upwards and rapidly dissipates indicates good 
vertical air mixing. 
Sensitive Areas 
The pesticide should only be applied when the 
potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., 
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for 
threatened or endangered species, nontarget crops) is 
minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the 
sensitive areas). Do not apply Poast 2.0 by air if 
sensitive species are within 200 feet downwind. 
Ground Application Methods and 
Equipment (Broadcast) 
Do not apply when conditions favor drift from target 
area or when windspeed is greater than 10 mph. 
Water Volume: Use 5-20 gallons of spray solution. In 
the West and in the High and Rolling'Plains Region, 
(see regional descriptions in Tables 1), do not use 
less than 10 gallons of spray solution per acre. 
Spray Pressure: Use 40-60 psi (measured at the 
boom, not at the pump or in the line). When crop and 
weed foliage are dense, use a maximum of 20 gallons 
of water and 60 psi. 
Application Equipment: Use standard high-pressure 
pesticide fiat fan or hollow cone nozzles spaced up to 
20" apart. Do not use fiood, whirl chamber, or 
controlled droplet applicator (CDA) nozzles as erratic 
coverage can cause inconsistent weed control. When 
tall weeds such as volunteer corn are to be controlled, 
the boom should be high enough to cover the entire 
plant. Refer to the nozzle manufacturer's directions for 
recommended height. When a crop such as cotton is 
24" or taller and the grasses are below the crop 
canopy, use drop nozzles to ensure good coverage of 
the grass species. 
Do not use selective application equipment such as 
recirculating sprayers or wiper applicators. 
Ground Application (Banding) 
Poast 2.0 may be applied by banoing to control 
annual grasses. Banding is not recommended for 
perennial grasses. -_ 
Follow Ground Application (Broadcast) instructions 
for band applications. When applying Poast 2.0 by 
banding, determine the amount of herbicide and water 
volume needed using the following formula: 
Bandwidth in inches X Broadcast rate = Banding herbicide 
Row width in inches per acre rate per acre 
Bandwidth in inches X Broadcast _ Banding water 
Row width in inches volume per acre - volume per acre 
-) / "S 
t

Spot or Small Area Application 
Do not make spot treatments in addition to broadcast or 
band treatments. When using knapsack sprayers or 
high-volume spray equipment with hand guns or other 
suitable nozzle arrangements, prepare a 1-1.5% solution 
of Poast4' 2.0 herbicide in water unless otherwise 
specified under specific crops. Use a concentration of 
0.5% for Dash" HC and Sundance" HC spray 
adjuvants, or 1 % for oil concentrate. Prepare the 
desired volume of spray solution by mixing the amount 
of Poast 2.0 and the amount of Dash HC, Sundance 
HC or oil concentrate in water according to Tables 5 
and 6. 
Rescue Treatment for Controlling 
Selected Annual Grasses 
If Poast 2.0 cannot be applied at the recommended 
time, larger annual grasses may be controlled Vlith a 
later aoplicatim by increasing the rate of Poast 2.0 
(see Table 3). Do not exceed the maximum rate per 
acre, per season, for specific crops (see Table 7). 
III. Additives 
To acnieve consistent weed control, always use one of 
the fc!lowing additives: Dash HC, Sundance HC, 
meth\'lated/modified seed oil, or crop oil concentrate. 
In addition, urea ammonium nitrate or ammonium 
sulfa;s is recommended for use on alfalfa, beans, 
cotten, nax, peanuts, peas, potatoes, soybeans, 
Poast Protected- field corn, sugarbeets, and 
sunflowers to enhance activity on certain grass 
spec:es. See Table 4. Additive Rates Per Acre for 
more information, However, when used in many 
vegetable crops under the following conditions, Poast 
2.0 plus adjuvants should be used with caution due to 
potential crop leaf injury: when the temperature 
exceeds 90
0 
F and the relative humidity is 60% or 
greater, or anytime the temperature exceeds 100
0 
F, 
regardless of the humidity. 
Because most nitrogen solutions are mildly corrosive 
to galvanized, mild steel, and brass spray equipment, 
rinse the entire spray system with water soon after 
Table 5. Spot Treatment Dilution

use. UAN and AMS are not recommended in &:;e 
Pacific Northwest and are not registered in California. 
Consult a BASF representative or local agricultural 
authority for more information on the use of additives. 
Dash He, Sundance HC, Crop Oil Concentrate, 
or Methylated Seed Oils 
A crop oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum 
or vegetable oil base and must meet all of the 
following criteria: 
• be nonphytotoxic, 
• contain only EPA-exempt ingredients, 
• provide good mixing quality in the jar test. and 
• be successful in locai experience, 
The exact composition of suitable products will vary; 
however, vegetable and petroleum oil concentrates 
should contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing 
quality. 
Highly refined vegetable oils have proven more

-Ammonium Sulfate lAMS): AMS per acre may be 
substituted for UAN. When liquid AMS is used, 3.0 
quarts of 8-8-0 analysis may be substituted for 2.5 
pounds of dry AMS. Use high-quality AMS (spray 
grade) to avoid plugging of nozzles. Other sources 
of nitrogen are not as effective as those 
mentioned. If the AMS is added directly to the 
spray tank, add slowly while agitating. Adding the 
mix too quickly may clog outlet lines. Be sure the 
AMS is completely dissolved before adding any 
other products. BASF does not recommend 
applying AMS if applied in less than 10 gallons per 
acre because of potential problems with 
precipitation in reduced volumes. 
UAN and AMS are not registered in California.

See section V\' Crop-Specific Information for more 
details. Read and fOllow the applicable Restrictions 
and Limitations and Directions For Use on all 
products involved in tank mixing. The most restrictive 
labeling applies to tank mixes. 
Separate applications should be made if all target 
weeds are not at the labeled growth stage for 
treatment at the same time. 
Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop 
injury may result from mixing Poast 2,0 with other 
pesticides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or 
miticides), additives, or fertilizers. BASF does not 
recommend using tank mixes other than those listed 
on BASF labeling. Local agricultural authorities may be 
a source of information when using other than BASF 
recommended tank mixes. 
10 
Compatibility Test for Mix Components 
Before mixing components, always perfonm a 
compatibility jar test. 
For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups 
(800 ml) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust 
rates accordingly. Only use water from the intended 
source at the source temperature. 
Add components in the sequence indicated in the Mixing 
Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon 
for each pint of recommended label rate per acre. 
Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between 
component additions. 
When the components have all been added to the jar, 
let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the 
solution for uniformity and stability. The spray solution 
should not have free oil on the surface, nor fine 
particles that precipitate to the bottom, nor thick 
(clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not 
compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the 
addition of a suitable compatibility agent. If the solution 
is then compatible, use the compatibility agent as 
directed on its label. If the solution is still incompatible, 
do not mix the ingredients in the same tank. 
Mixing Order 
1) Water. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean 
sprayer tank three-quarters full of dean water. 
2) Agitation, Maintain constant agitation throughout 
mixing and application. 
3) Products in PVA bags. Place any product 
contained in water-soluble PVA bags into the 
mixing tank. Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags 
have fully dissolved and the product is evenly 
mixed in the spray tank before continuing. 
4) Water-dispersible products (such as dry 
ftowables, wettable powders, suspension 
concentrates, or suspo-emulsions). 
If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after the 
component has been added. 
5) Water-soluble products. If an inductor is used, 
rinse it thoroughly after the component has been 
added. 
6) Emulsifiable concentrates (such as Poast 2.0 
or oil concentrate when applicable). If an inductor 
is used, rinse it thoroughly after the component 
has been added. 
7) Water-soluble additives (such as AMS or UAN 
when applicable). If an inductor is used, rinse it 
thoroughly after the component has been added. 
8) Remaining quantity of water. 
Maintain constant agitation during application.

Forage Crops 
Alfalfa, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Clover, Sainfoin 
Poast 2.0 may be applied to seedling or established 
aI.falla and .clover grown for hay. silage, green chop, 
direct grazing, or for seed. 
Mowing: The best control of annual grasses can be 
achieved by applying Poast 2.0 before grass weeds 
are mowed. Once a grass is mowed it becomes 
tougher to control. as much of the leaf surface may be 
removed. putting the grass under stress. In areas 
without a killing frost. some annuals can over-winter 
after having been mowed a number of times. These 
grasses can form large crowns and contain many 
Viable buds. A large crown. even if it is an annual 
grass. may require repeated applications of Poast 2.0 
for partial or complete control. 
Tank Mixing in Alfalfa. Birdsfoot Trefoil & Sainfoin Only 
Poast 2.0 may be applied in a tank mix with one of 
the following herbicides: 
1'2.4-08 
Tank Mix Specific Restrictions 
Do not add UAN solution or AMS to a tank mix of 
Poast 2.0 + 2,4-DB. 
Do not use Poast 2.0 + 2,4-0B in the High and 
Rolling Plains of Texas, Western Oklahoma. Western 
Kansas. and Eastern New Mexico. 
IRRIGATED ALFALFA. CLOVER. BIRDSFOOT 
TREFOIL. AND SAINFOIN: 
Irrigation practices can be very critical to the 
successful use of Poast 2.0 and may be necessary to 
start grass weeds growing again. Generally. 
applications 2-4 days after an irrigation are most 
effective because: 
• grasses resume active growth, 
• grasses have less chance to grow too large. 
• by waiting later, the clover or alfalfa begins to 
canopy and interferes with spray coverage. 
Irrigation shortly after application (2 days) can be 
effective. but more consistent grass control is 
obtainec when the irrigation is made before the 
application. 
Annual Grass Control 
Apply Poast 2.0 at the grass sizes and rates 
indicated in Tables 1 and 3. If a grass has been cut. 
apply Poast 2.0 after the regrowth reaches the 
minimum height (so thgre will be enough leaf area for 
absorption) and before it"exceeds the maximum 
height indicated. 
Apply before the clover or alfalfa canopies cover the 
grasses and interfere with the spray coverage. Also, 
applications after a clover or alfalfa cutting may need 
to be timed to follow an irrigation or rainfall which will 
allow the grasses to regrow to a treatable size. 
Some annual grasses are spring- and summer­
germinating plants. while others are fall-germinating 
plants, and the time they are actively growing and 
most susceptible to Poast 2.0 may vary from area to 
area. Also. some annuals germinate over a long time, 
and because control of small grasses is desired, 
applications after each weed flush may be needed. As 
a general guideline. spray spring· and summer­
germinating grasses as earty in the season as

possible. The optimum application timing may occur 
very early in the spring after initial green-up. Spray fall­
germinating weeds in the fall soon after they begin 
growing but before any killing frosts. Late fall 
applications may be less effective due to 
environmental changes, such as frosts or the onset of 
fiowering. 
Perennial Grass Control 
Poast" 2.0 herbicide effectively controls or 
suppresses perennial grasses, such as 
Bermudagrass, johnsongrass, quackgrass, wirestem 
muhly, and perennial ryegrass. See Table 2. However, 
their growth characteristics are such that they are 
more difficult to control than annual grasses, 
especially in a perennial crop such as established 
alfalfa or clover. A program of repeated applications is 
usually necessary for best results. 
The most economical way of controlling perennial 
grasses is to do so in the year of s:and establishment 
before rhizomes or stolons becorra large and difficult 
to kill. The field should be disked cefore seeding to 
thoroughly fragment rhizomes or scolons. 
In summer and fall seedings, cool season grasses 
\uackgrass, wire stem muhly, and perennial ryegrass) 
dan become very competitive uncer cool fall 
V1ditions. Fall applications of Poast 2.0 will reduce 
8 season grass growth and lim,; the ability of 
grasses to accumulate nutrient reserves in roots and 
rhizomes. 
In established stands, it is importa1t to begin applying 
in the spring when conditions faver active growth and 
before storage tissues have increased their nutrient 
reserves. Additional applications should be made on 
any grass regrowth in later cuttings. . 
Interseeded Oats 
Oats interseeded with clover, alfalfa. birdsfoot trefoil, 
and sainfoin may be killed by app;Ying Poast 2.0. 
Their removal allows the seedling :rops to grow with 
less competition. This application should be made 
before the interseeded oats reac,ces the boot stage or 
later to be most effective.

BroadJeaf Cover Crops: The growth of broadleaf 
cover crops such as alfalfa, clover, lespedeza, trefoils, 
and vetches will not be affected by Poast 2.0. 
Grass Cover Crops: Most seeded grass crops such 
as oats, sudangrass, tall fescue, orchardgrass, 
bromegrasses, ryegrass, or timothy will be injured or 
killed by Poast 2.0, therefore, do not use Poast 2.0 if 
injury to these grass cover crops is undesirable. 
Seeded grass cover crops may be injured or killed. 
Restrictions and Limitations (partial list) 
Do not harvest or graze cover crops other than alfalfa, 
clover, birdsfoct trefoil, or sainfoin tr~ated with Poast 
2.0. ~ 
Do not plant any other crop to be harvested for 120 
days after application, unless Poast 2.0 is registered 
for use in that crop. 
This use is applicable only for the Midwest, South, 
and Northeast areas_or East of the Rocky Mountains 
(see maps in Table 1). 
For alfalfa cover crops, do not apply Poast 2.0 within 
7 days of grazing, feeding, or cutting for (undried) 
forage, or within 14 days of cutting alfalfa for (dry) hay. 
For alfaifa cover crops, do not apply more than a total 
of 78 ftuid ounces of Poast 2.0 per acre in one 
season.

Poast" 2.0 herbicide may be applied in a tank mix 
with one of the following herbicides: 
~ClantY* oRoundup UltraS 
Marksman" 02,4-0 
Interseeded Cover Crops 
Poast 2.0 Activity on the Cover Crop 
Grass cover crops controlled or suppressed by this 
use include wheat. oats. and barley, or any grass crop 
for which Poast 2.0 is labeled. Poast 2.0 will 
selectively control grass cover crops in seedling 
nongrass or broadleaf field, forage, or vegetable crops 
without Injury. In addition, Poast 2.0 will control any 
annual grasses that have emerged since planting. The 
slow-dying grass can provide a protective mulch for 
the primary crop seedlings for up to 3 weeks after 
applying Poast 2.0. 
Apply Poast 2,0 to cereals that are 3-4" in height 
(before tillering). Do not allow cereals to exceed this 
height as excessive competition and lack. of control 
may occur. 
Noncrop Areas 
Deciduous Trees, Nonfood Crop Areas, 
Fallow Land 
DECIDUOUS TREES. 
NONFOOD CROP AREAS, FALLOW LAND: 
Poast 2.0 may be used in noncrop areas including 
rights-ai-ways, roadsides and other paved areas, 
along fences and hedgerows, public buildings, 
recreation areas, industrial sites, storage yards, 
airports, electric transformer stations, pipeline 
pumping stations, sewage disposal areas, on potting 
and top soils, uncultivated agricultural areas, and 
general indoor or outdoor sites. 
Poast 2.0 is not recommended for use on red 
sprangletop in California, Arizona or western New 
Mexico. 
Notice to user: Due to variability within species and 
in application techniques, neither the manufacturer nor 
the seller has determined whether or not Poast 2.0 
can be salely used on all varieties and species of 
nonbearing food crops, and other nonfood crops 
under all conditions. Therefore, determine if Poast 2.0 
can be used safely before broad use in the following 
manner: 
On a small test area, apply the recommended rate 
of Poast 2.0 on nonbearing or nonfood crop 
speCies or varieties under the conditions expected 
to be encountered. Any adverse conditions should' 
be visible within 7 days. 
TALL FESCUE GROWTH SUPPRESSION: 
(Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, 
South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West 
Virginia only) 
Apply Poast 2.0 to actively growing tall fescue after it 
has 4-6 inches of new growth, before the emergence 
of seedheads and before conifer bud break. 
Applications made from July 1 to mid-August may be 
less effective, especially if day temperatures reach 90° 
F. Tall fescue must be 1-year old before the first 
application of Poast 2.0. 
15 
/5 'j Ie: 
Adequate coverage of the leaf surface is necessary for 
absorption of this herbicide. Thus, for optimum 
control, do not mow tall fescue turf for 30 days before 
or 14 days after applying Poast 2.0. 
Rate: Apply 12-15 fluid ounces of Poast 2.0 per 
acre. For greater fescue suppression, up to 30 fluid 
ounces of Poast 2.0 per acre can be used. Because 
of environmental differences at application and growth 
differences of tall fescue, control may exceed or fall 
short of that desired. Begin treating crops with Poast 
2.0 at the minimum recommended rate and adjust 
rates as local conditions and experience dictate. 
Additional applications may be made if extended 
growth suppression is desired. 
ORCHARD FLOOR MIDDLES: 
Growth Management In Orchard Floor Middles 
Poast 2.0 may be applied in a tank mix with one of 
the following herbicides: 
~,4-D amine 
Poast 2.0 and 2,4-0 dimethylamine can be used in a 
tank mix for growth management in orchard floor 
middles to reduce the number of mechanical mowings 
needed during a season. Poast 2.0 and 2,4-0 
dimethylamine can be safely applied for growth 
management in the following cool season grasses and 
mixtures: Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and 
tall fescue. Some degree of discoloration of the turf 
may occur. However, the turf will regrow and green up 
as effects of the treatment wear off. Make one 
application per season from the following options: 
o Poast 2.0 and 2,4-0 dimethyl amine can be 
applied during the spring or summer when growth 
management is desired. Do not apply during 
bloom or within 3 days of a mowing. 
• An optimal timing for application is after sod green 
up in the spring (before any mowing) or 3 days 
after the initial mowing of the season is made. 
o A prebloom treatment is recommended as any 
broadleaf weeds such as dandelions can be 
controlled before they hamper fruit pollination. 
This treatment will provide 5-8 weeks of growth 
management depending on the sod makeup (e.g., 
grass species, amount of broadleaf weeds present, 
etc.). environmental conditions and the desired 
maintenance height of the middles. 
See section III. Additives, Mixing Order for details. 
Tank Mix Specific Restrictions 
Make no more than 1 application of this tank mix per 
growing season. _
