Timing
For best results, the grass and weeds should be actively growing at the time of treatment. In most years, treatment during the early part of the season is recommended although spraying at any time between April and September will be effective, except during drought or waterlogged conditions.

Mowing
Avoid mowing during the 3 - 4 days preceding or following treatment.

Cautions
Only use SPEARHEAD herbicide on turf when the sward is satisfactorily established and regular mowing has begun under normal good management. Turf sown in the spring or early summer may be ready for spraying after approximately two months, but turf sown in the late summer or autumn should not be sprayed until growth is resumed in the following spring, perhaps eight months after sowing. Applications made under or followed by adverse conditions such as waterlogged and/or cold conditions may result in transient damage. Do not overlap spray swaths.
