How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Surflan Flex T&O 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 multiplying 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 warm-seasoned turf, apply 1.25 to 1.90 fl. oz. of Surflan Flex T&O Herbicide per 1 gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Depending on the length of control you want in ornamentals, use 1.5 to 3.75 fl. oz. of product per 1 gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Refer to the product label for specific application rates and restrictions.
- Step 2: Fill the sprayer with half the amount of water, add the proper amount of product, and pour in the remaining half of the water. Close the tank lid and shake until the solution is well-mixed.
- Step 3: Broadcast the solution evenly across the treatment area. After application, irrigate the treated area with 1 inch or more of rainfall, sprinkler, or regular water. If weeds begin to emerge, a shallow cultivation to a depth of 1 to 2 inches will destroy existing weeds and place Surflan Flex in the zone of weed germination.

Do not apply to cool-seasoned turf.
