How to Use

• Step 1: Mow the turfgrass 1 to 2 days before application. Water the turfgrass thoroughly at least 1 to 2 days before application. Determine how much Award 22-0-5 Weed & Feed w/ Trimec Broadleaf Weed Control to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Find the square footage by measuring the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage. For acreage, take the square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acres). Apply 4.0 pounds of Award 22-0-5 Weed & Feed w/ Trimec Broadleaf Weed Control per 1,000 sq. ft. of turfgrass. Or the broader application, which is 174 pounds of product per acre. The maximum broadcast application rate is 4.0 pounds of product per 1,000 sq. ft. per application.
• Step 2: Calibrate the spreader to the proper setting then load the proper amount of granules. 
• Step 3: First spread the borders of your lawn. Then spread the center by spreading in straight line passes. Spread at a uniform walking speed to ensure even coverage. To avoid gaps and streaks, first spread the border and fill in the center with uniform, parallel passes. Do not irrigate or water the turfgrass within 24 hours after application.
• Step 4: The maximum number of broadcast applications is limited to 2 per year with a minimum of 30 days between applications. If required, the treatment interval between the first and second applications is 30 days.
