  • Ensure plants have been watered without cracks in the soil or substrate prior to making application 
  • Make applications spring through fall when soil temperatures are above 55ºF, avoiding bud swell, bud break and new growth flushes
  • Water-in applications to rinse residue from foliage and activate herbicide barrier 
  • Make sequential applications 5 to 8 weeks apart
