BioAdvanced Season Long Weed Control

 Season Long Weed Control

This is used as the second half of a split pre-emergent treatment.  It also has active post-emergent herbicide properties, so it should only be used on lawns.  Other ornamentals should be protected. 

Because it is used as a pre-emergent, it needs to be applied in the 3rd or 4th week of March. (Following an application of Barricade in the 4th week of February).




Weather conditions can sometimes be a challenge in March.

  • Water the lawn or wait for rain a few days before application and allow to dry. 
  • The herbicide needs to be applied to dry lawns.
  • Apply when temperatures are between 50 and 90 F. 
  • Winds should be less than 10 mph to avoid spray drift.
  • The application rate for a tank sprayer is 6-1/2 Tablespoons per 2 gallons to treat 500 sq ft.
  • So, a 2-gallon tank mixed at the above rate will cover half of one side of the front lawn.  The entire 2-gallon contents will need to be sprayed into this section.
  • Then, a second 2-gallon tank will be mixed to finish one side of the yard.  In all, 4 tanks will be prepared and applied.

This is a broadcast coverage application, not a spot spray.  "You must spray the entire area."

This application needs to be watered in, after waiting at least 1 hour.  This will form the preventive weed barrier.

 

=> Mowing: Do not mow the treated lawn for 2 days after spraying.

Then, leave the clippings on the treated area.  Do not bag them for best results.


You should see wilting and yellowing within 1 day. 

Full effect is seen after 2-4 weeks.
