Tools Needed
You will need a hose to connect this product to.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Hi-Yield Atrazine Weed Killer RTS to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment areas. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). A general application will use 5 tsp. of Hi-Yield Atrazine Weed Killer RTS per 1 quart of water for a 100 sq. ft. For the maximum application rate on turfgrass, apply 8.6 oz. of product per 2 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. No more than two applications per year can be made. Do not apply one quart of this product to an area less than 3,720 sq. ft.
- Step 2: Shake the Hi-Yield Atrazine Weed Killer RTS well before applying it, then connect it to a hose and turn on the water.
- Step 3: To begin spraying, point the nozzle in the direction you want to spray. Turn the knob clockwise to the ON position. Spray evenly to the area to be treated. Refer to the clear view strip on the side of the container to determine the amount of product sprayed. To stop spraying, turn the knob counterclockwise to the OFF position.
Where to Use
Use Hi-Yield Atrazine Weed Killer RTS on St. Augustinegrass or Centipedegrass within residential lawns.
When to Use
This product is best applied during early spring or dormant periods when small weeds have not yet emerged. Rain or water within 2 or 3 days of application may decrease the effectiveness of emerged weeds. However, rainfall or watering is necessary to control weeds from seeds within 7 to 10 days after treatment.
Do not replant treated areas (except with listed turfgrass) within 12 months after treatment, or injury may result. Additionally, do not overseed turf areas within 6 months after treatment.

Do not allow people or pets to enter the treated area until sprays have dried.
Special Considerations
