Tools Needed

To use 2,4-D Amine Selective Post Emergent Herbicide, a backpack sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, or skid sprayer is needed. We suggest using a handheld pump sprayer when making spot treatment applications and small ornamental turf and lawn areas.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much 2,4-D Amine Herbicide to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet then multiply them together (length x width = square footage). For general use on ornamental turfs, 2,4-D Amine should be mixed at a rate of 2 to 3.16 pints per acre. For small applications with a hand sprayer, this breaks down to 0.72 to 1.1 fl. oz. per 1,000 square feet. For example, if you have a 2,000 sq. ft. yard to treat, you will need to mix 1.44 to 2.2 fl. oz. in 2 gallons of water.
• Step 2:  Fill your sprayer halfway with the required amount of water. Add the correct amount of 2,4-D Amine Selective Weed Killer to the spray tank and mix by shaking the spray tank. It is also suggested to mix 2,4-D with a surfactant to enhance weed control, so this is the time to add that in as well and agitate the sprayer.
• Step 3: Apply the 2,4-D mixture to areas where unwanted vegetation is currently growing, preferably on a fan spray setting to ensure even coverage. Do not apply more than 100 ounces of 2,4-D Amine per acre in one season.

Where to Use

2,4-D Amine Selective Post Emergent Herbicide can be used on residential, commercial and industrial turfs and lawns. It is ideal for use on golf courses, cemeteries, sports fields, and other grassy areas. It can be applied to sod farms, rangelands, grass fields, croplands, non-cropland areas and other areas where broadleaf weeds and unwanted brush are growing.

Some dichondra, bentgrasses, carpet, buffalo, and St. Augustine grasses may be injured. Do not use on susceptible southern grasses such as St. Augustine.

When to Use

For best results, 2,4-D Amine Selective Weed Killer should be applied during warm and calm weather conditions when targeted vegetation is actively growing.

Do not apply to newly seeded areas until grass is well established.
