Hi-Yield Crabgrass Control, manufactured by VPG, is a granular product that controls crabgrass and other annual grassy weeds like goosegrass in established lawns.

As a selective herbicide, this product will travel through the soil and eliminate targeted weeds from the roots without harming your lawn or ornamental foliage.

Hi-Yield Crabgrass Control is easy to apply and will only need to be applied in the spring since it provides year long control over listed weeds.

Tools Needed

To use Hi-Yield Crabgrass Control, you will need a push or broadcast spreader to spread the granules across your lawn.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Hi-Yield Crabgrass Control to use by calculating the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure and multiply the treatment areas length and width in feet (length X width = square footage). For acreage, take the square footage and divide by one acre 43,560 (square footage / 43,560 = acre). The spring application rate for Hi-Yield Crabgrass Control is 1.75 to 3.5 lbs. of product per 1,000 sq. ft. in cool-seasoned lawns. The spring application rate for warm-seasoned grasses is 2.25 to 3.5 lbs. of product per 1,000 sq. ft. For late summer or early fall applications within cool-seasoned lawns, apply 1.75 to 2.25 lbs. of product per 1,000 sq. ft. For late summer or early fall applications within warm-seasoned lawns, apply 3.5 lbs. of product per 1,000 sq. ft. Do not make more than 2 applications of this product per year.
• Step 2: Calibrate your spreader to the appropriate spreader setting for application and load the measured amount of Hi-Yield Crabgrass Control into the spreader. You may refer to the product label for the calibration setting. If you are unsure which setting to use with your spreader, you can test your spreader settings on 100 sq. ft. of pavement. You will want to apply this to pavement to see your spreader swath and to avoid damaging your turf. You will want to apply at a rate of 1 lb. of product per 100 sq. ft. Adjust your spreader setting until this rate is reached.
• Step 3: Apply Hi-Yield Crabgrass Control from the edge of your treatment area and walk around the perimeter of the area at a steady pace. Then walk back and forth across the treatment area in the middle to cover the space in the middle, but not to the point of overlap. Lightly water the treatment area after Hi-Yield Crabgrass Control has been applied. You may retreat cool-seasoned turf when 56 to 70 days have passed and for warm-seasoned turfs when 70 to 84 days have passed after first applicaiton.
