SedgeHammer Turf Herbicide 1.33 oz. Bottle Covers 1 Acre Halosulfuron-methyl 75%

Description

SedgeHammer Turf  Herbicide 1.33 oz. Bottle - Makes 40 Gallons
Controls yellow and purple nutsedge and certain tough broadleaf weeds like horsetail.
Also suppresses green kyllinga.
Low use rate (1 1/3 oz/Acre or less) or .9 grams per 1000 square feet.
Controls nutsedge by moving through the plant and affecting the underground growing points (rhizomes and tubers).
It controls nutsedge after emergence in cool and warm season turfgrass (including St. Augustinegrass, Bermudagrass, Kentucky bluegrass, tall and fine fescue, and perennial ryegrass)
Considered as one of the more “gentle to turfgrass” products.
Pets and people can return to treated area once spray dries.
For optimum results it is best to apply SedgeHammer to young, actively growing nutsedge plants (plants that have emerged within the last 6 weeks). SedgeHammer works by killing the foliage and underground tubers. However, nutsedge plants that survive longer than 6 weeks can produce new nutlets. There may also be nutsedge that has emerged and sprouted above ground since the time of your application. SedgeHammer applications must be made consistently to ensure eventual eradication. Read the label for specific directions regarding maximum number of applications and rates.
Sedgehammer is absorbed into the leaf tissue within 24-48 hours and enters the vascular system. It travels to the base of the leaves where the growing point is located. Critical amino acid production within the plant is then halted. Yellowing and browning of leaves usually occurs within 10-14 days. It may take an additional 2 weeks before the nutsedge dies. If the nutsedge is not actively growing or is stressed in any way, this process may be delayed or interrupted.
Mixing Instructions, 1.33 oz container:
Using included spoon, measure .9 grams (one spoonful) and pour into 1 gallon of water. Measure level scoops only (not rounded).
*Swirl or mix the solution thoroughly.  The 0.9 grams will cover 1000 sq. ft. One full bottle (1.33 oz.) makes approx. 40 gallons of finished solution.
*Add 2 teaspoons of a nonionic surfactant (spreader sticker) and swirl gently until mixed.
For best results, add a surfactant that is specifically made for horticultural purposes and labeled for use with an herbicide.
Use only surfactants that contain at least 80 percent active material. Do not exceed the recommended amount of surfactant due to potential turf injury at higher rates.
While spraying, periodically swirl or shake the mixture to keep the product evenly distributed in the water.
Do not store the mixed solution as it will degrade and become ineffective
.
Always read the product label completely before use.
Each 1.33 oz. bottle makes 40 gallons of finished solution. Each gallon of finished solution covers approximately 1,000 square feet. In high volume broadcast applications, each 1.33 oz. bottle covers 1-2 acres.
Standard Application Dilution rates / Mixing Ratios for SedgeHammer:
*1.33 oz. bottle – Use 0.9 g (one spoonful) in 1-2 gallons of water with 2 teaspoons of a nonionic surfactant – More economical for broadcast applications

*2/3 oz. in sufficient water for uniform application per acre – light infestations
*1 1/3 oz. in sufficient water for uniform application per acre – heavy infestations
