Acclaim Extra

Acclaim Extra, manufactured by Bayer, is a professional 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 of drying. Its flexibility is further seen in its ability to control the mid-to-late-season growth of weeds like crabgrass, making it a versatile herbicide product.

Acclaim Extra kills weeds quickly, in as little as 7 days, and does so in a wide range of growth stages, from spikes to 5 tillers.

Tools Needed

This product can be applied with a pressurized hydraulic sprayer, high-volume handgun sprayer, 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 application 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 a measured amount of Acclaim Extra and pour the remaining half into the spray tank. Close the spray tank lid and shake until it is thoroughly mixed. If a surfactant is needed, add it to your mixture last and agitate the tank until it is 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 dry thoroughly before any irrigation occurs. 

Where to Use

Acclaim Extra can be used in and around turfgrass, including sod farms, commercial and residential turf, and ornamentals. 

Turfgrass that may be treated with this product are Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, fine fescue, tall fescue, annual bluegrass, Zoysia grass, and creeping bentgrass. 

When to Use

Use during the growing season when unwanted weeds are growing on the property. The product is best applied when weeds are young and growing. Choose a calm day to apply Acclaim Extra to minimize the chances of wind drift.
