Tools Needed

You will need a backpack sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, or spray rig.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much On Deck Herbicide 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). For cool-seasoned turf in lawns, turfgrasses, golf courses, parks, and cemeteries use 0.75 to 1.0 fluid ounces of On Deck Herbicide per 1 gallon of water per 1,000 square feet. For warm-seasoned turf in lawns, turfgrasses, golf courses, parks, and cemeteries apply 0.55 fluid ounces of product per 1 gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. To make spot treatments, apply 2/3 fluid ounces of product with 1 gallon of water. Do not apply more than 2 applications per year. Refer to the product label for specific application rates and restricitons. 
• Step 2: Fill the spray tank with half the amount of water, add the recommended rate of product, and then pour in the remaining half of the water. Close the tank lid and shake until well-mixed. 
• Step 3: Spray the top and bottom of weed leaves and stems until wet, but not to the point of runoff. Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy. Under dense populations, a second application may be needed the following growing season. 

Where to Use

On Deck Herbicide can be used in general farmstead areas; forest management; roadsides, rights-of-way, industrial sites, and similar non-crop areas.  

Do not treat areas where either possible downward movement into the soil or surface washing may cause contact of this product with the roots of desirable trees and shrubs.

Avoid contacting desirable trees, shrubs, flowers, or vegetables since plant injury may result. 

When to Use

Apply when weeds are present on days when temperatures are below 85 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Safety Information

On Deck Herbicide is safe for people and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product. 

Keep people and pets out of the treated area for 48 hours after application.

Special Considerations

It may cause injury to desirable trees and plants, particularly beans, cotton, flowers, fruit trees, grapes, ornamentals, peas, potatoes, soybeans, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes, and other broadleaf plants when contacting their roots, stems, or foliage.

Do not apply to newly seeded areas until grass is well established and has been mowed several times. A period of about 30 days after application is usually a sufficient interval before reseeding grasses (or other plants).
