Yearly limits on turf
The turf restrictions cap broadcast use at 13.25 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft per calendar year. The same section also lists a combined total of 6 oz per 1,000 sq ft per year, so check both before planning repeat sprays.[1]
The product is not for sale or use in Nassau and Suffolk counties of New York.[1]
Where it is used
Broadcast it in 2 to 5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq ft. Avoid mowing for 24 hours afterward and don't irrigate until the spray has dried.[1]
For fairy ring, aerating first may help, and the label says to irrigate the area before and after treatment. A nonionic surfactant improves thatch penetration.[1]
For rates above 3.0 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft, stay 100 feet from waterways that drain directly into estuaries. A vegetated buffer strip cuts runoff to ponds and streams.[1]
The label reports excellent turf safety on Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrasses, fescues, bentgrass, Bermudagrass, zoysiagrass and St. Augustine grass.[1]
