Acclaim Extra, manufactured by Bayer, is a professinal post-emergent herbicide that offers dependable control of annual and perennial grassy weeds without harming desirable turf and ornamentals.

Once this suspended concentrate is applied it becomes rainfast within an hour after drying. It's flexibility is further seen in its ability to control mid-to-late season growth of weeds like crabgrass, making it an versatile herbicide product.

Acclaim Extra provides quick killing of weeds in as little as 7 days and does so in a wide range of growth stages from spikes to 5 tillers.

Tools Needed

Acclaim Extra can be applied with a pressurized hydraulic sprayer, high volume handgun spray, handheld pump sprayer, or backpack sprayer.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Acclaim Extra you need by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the treatment areas length and width in feet and multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For hand-held sprayer appliction for spot treatments, use 0.30 to 0.46 fl. oz. of Acclaim Extra per gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Apply 0.30 fl. oz. of product per gallon of water when the grass weed is in the 1 to 4-leaf stage of growth. Apply 0.46 fl oz of product per gallon of water when the grass weed has 1 to 2-tillers. 
• Step 2: Fill your selected sprayer with half the amount of water, then add measured amount of Acclaim Extra, and pour remaining half of water into the spray tank. Close the spray tank lid and shake until is thoroughly mixed. If a surfactant is needed then add it your mixture last, and agitate the tank again until well-mixed. 
• Step 3: Apply the Acclaim Extra mixture to the top and bottom of the weed until wet, but not to the point of runoff. Do not mow treated areas for at least 24 hours to allow time for penetration and translocation into the grass weeds. The effectiveness of Acclaim Extra Herbicide is reduced when grass clippings interfere with thorough spray coverage of the target weeds. You may water turf and ornamentals 1 to 2 days before application or one day after application. Allow treated areas to thoroughly dry before any type of irrigation occurs.
