How To Use

 

Apply prior to or during periods of active growth. Early spring to early Summer.

Rainfall carries the chemical down into the root zone where it is absorbed by the plant's root system. Results will appear 3-6 weeks after 1/4" to 1/2" of rain.

Do not mow or cut treated plants until they have completely defoliated at least once, or in the case of cedar, have turned completely brown.

When treating regrowth from cut off plants, the regrowth must be at least one year old and the rate of application based on the original plant size.

On soils high in clay and/or organic matter, use the higher rates.

Plants With a Single Stem or Trunk - For plants with a single trunk, such as Oaks, Elm and Eastern Red Cedar, apply 1 to 2 pellets for every inch of stem (trunk) diameter. Distribute the pellets uniformly around the trunk, approximately half way between the trunk and the canopy edge.

Plants With Multi-Stems - For brushy, multi-stemmed plants, such as Multiflora Rose, apply 1 to 2 pellets on lants 2' to 4' tall and 2 to 4 pellets on plants 4' to 6' tall. Apply the pellets by hand to the ground at the base of the plant.

Trees With Multi-Trunks - For multi-trunked trees, such as Tallow, add together the diameter of each trunk and apply 1 to 2 pellets for the total number of trunk diameter inches.

EXAMPLE: 1 trunk @ 2", 1 trunk @ 3" and 3 trunks @ 1" equals a total of 8", thus apply 8-16 Power Pellets. Distribute the pellets uniformly around the trunk, approximately half way between the trunk and the canopy edge.

IMPORTANT

 

Injury or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result from failure to observe the following: Do not apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. DO NOT use on lawns, driveways, tennis courts or similar areas. Prevent contact with desirable plants. Keep from contact with fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and seeds. Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark.
