Tools Needed
You will need a backpack, spray rig, or hand-held pump sprayer. A hand-pump sprayer would be ideal for smaller applications
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Barricade 4FL Herbicide to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment site. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet, then multiply (length X width = square footage). For turfgrass applications, use 0.5 to 1.1 oz. of Barricade 4FL Herbicide per 2 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. For acreage applications on turfgrass, use 21-48 oz. of product per 100 gallons of water per acre. Refer to the label for specific application rates.
- Step 2: Fill the sprayer 3/4 of the way with water and then mix in a measured amount of Barricade 4FL Herbicide. Fill the sprayer the rest of the way with water and agitate it until the solution is well-mixed.
- Step 3: Spray the mixed solution as a broadcast or over-the-top spray onto labeled treatment areas. Make sure to set the sprayer on a fan setting to get nice uniform coverage. Water the treated areas with 0.5 inches of irrigation within 14 days after application.
Where to Use
Barricade 4FL Herbicide can be used on established turfgrasses (excluding golf course putting greens), lawns, and sod nurseries. In a container, field-grown, and landscape ornamentals. On established perennial and wildflower plantings. This product may also be applied to Christmas tree farms.
Do not apply to golf course putting greens. Not for use on container-grown plants or food-producing trees, vines, or plants.
When to Use
This product can be applied late summer, fall, or winter before weeds germinate. Apply when plants are not under stress from heat, drought, or frost damage.
If the weed is already growing, Barricade 4FL will not work, and you will have to use a post-emergent herbicide.
