A handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, or hose-end sprayer may be used.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Monterey Vegetable & Ornamental Weedar to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). Mix 3 fl. oz. of Monterey Vegetable & Ornamental Weedar in 2 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft.
- Step 2: Start with a clean spray tank. Fill sprayer 1/2 full with clean water, then add the proper amount of product. Finish filling sprayer with water and shake occasionally to keep solution mixed.
- Step 3: Spray solution directly onto soil. Follow application within 24 hours with 1/2 inch rain or its equivalent in sprinkler irrigation or poor weed control will result.
Where to Use
This pre-emergent concentrate can be used in ornamental trees, ornamental woody shrubs, ornamental groundcovers, roses, established flowers and vegetable gardens.
When to Use
Apply before weeds appear on days when rainfall or regular sprinkler irrigation is expected to occur within 24 hours of application.
