Tools Needed

Up-End Hydrocap Herbicide can be applied with a handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, or spray rig. 

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Up-End Hydrocap Herbicide 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). For acreage, take the square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acres). For general applications on cool-seasoned and warm-seasoned turf, apply 1.1 fl. oz. in 1 gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. or 3.1 pints of product per 5 gallons of water per acre.
• Step 2: Fill the spray tank with half the amount of water, add measured amount of herbicide, then pour the remaining half of water into the tank. Shake it until it has dissolved in water. 
• Step 3: Spray to areas you wish to protect from weed activity or where you have seen previous infestations to the point of wet, but not runoff. Follow the application with 1/2 inch of rainfall or irrigation. If this product is not activated by rainfall or irrigation within 30 days, weed control may be erratic.
