Follow all label directions. 1 Use Ronstar FLO 2.5 lb. ai./A rate in northern part of transition zone and 3 lb. ai./A rate in southern part of transition zone. New labeling on Ronstar Flo makes it a restricted use pesticide and limits application area. Check you specic label prior to application. 2 Spread rate should be minimum of 250 lbs. of fertilizer per acre for regular granule size and 200 lbs. per acre for mini granule size. 3 Do not apply if turf injury is present and assess turf quality before each application. 4 If winterkill is not a concern, other options include dithiopyr or prodiamine
Goosegrass germinates a couple of weeks later than crabgrass. Ronstar ® is an industry standard for goosegrass control, plus it allows sprigging into an application because it is absorbed by the shoots and not roots. (Envu)
