should be applied when your lawn is dry. It is not
necessary to water-in after application, although
watering-in will activate the active ingredient.
|
 | For best results, apply after you have mowed the
lawn to allow the product to more easily reach the
soil. |
 | Apply in the fall (August – October) after
temperatures have cooled and fall rains have begun
to prevent moss (except in California) from becoming
established during winter or next spring, or to
prevent germination of Poa annua and chickweed. |
Apply to a dry lawn on a calm day. For best
results, use a Scotts spreader. Be certain to set
spreader to the indicated label setting before
application. For best results, the lawn should receive
1/4 to 1/2 inch of rainfall or irrigation within 2-3
days of application.
When to Apply
 | Apply to dry foliage in early spring |
 | Before dandelions reach the puffball stage |
 | Before the third or fourth mowing |
 | Before temperatures regularly reach the 80’s
|

mid-March in northern California |
 | In moss prone areas, apply in the fall to
prevent moss |
