• For best results, mow lawn two to three days before treating weeds.
• To avoid risk of lawn injury, do not spray drought-stressed lawns.
• Watering immediately after treatment may wash away effectiveness.
• Wait until newly seeded grass is well established or after the third mowing before applying this product.
• Treated areas may be reseeded three to four weeks after application.
• If certain tough weeds are not dead within three weeks, repeat application to affected areas.
• Application to zoysia lawns when they are emerging from dormancy in the spring may cause damage.
