Pendulum 3.3EC herbicide provides pre-emergence control of most annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds as they germinate in any turf grass site. This weed killer for lawns can also be used in and around field and container nurseries, established landscape ornamentals and ornamental gardens, groundcovers, nonbearing fruit and nut trees.

Description
Apply Snapshot in early spring prior to germination of target weeds, in late summer to early fall, or any time immediately after cultivation. Following application, monitor weed control over time to determine if additional applications may be needed. Depending on the weeds to be controlled, apply the labeled rate of 2.3 to 4.6 pounds per 1,000 square feet, using a rotary spreader. More uniform application can be achieved by spreading half of the required amount of product over the area and then applying the remaining half in swaths at right angles to the first application. APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS Snapshot does not control established weeds. Apply prior to weed seed germination, or control existing weeds by cultivation or with a postemergence herbicide. Weed residues, prunings and debris should be removed or thoroughly mixed into soil prior to treatment. Repeat applications at the rate of 150 pounds per acre and higher should not be made within 60 days of original application. Do not apply more than 600 pounds per acre within a 12-month period. Do not apply Snapshot to: - Newly transplanted ornamentals (until soil has been settled by packing and irrigation or rainfall) - Unrooted liners or cuttings that have been planted in pots for the fi rst time - Pots less than 4 inches wide KEY BENEFITS: It works. Snapshot provides unsurpassed control of grassy and broadleaf weeds. It offers long residual. Depending on factors such as weeds controlled and application rate, Snapshot specialty herbicide provides up to eight months of control. It saves time and money. It saves landscape and nursery professionals thousands of dollars in handweeding labor costs. It offers excellent plant tolerance. Snapshot can be applied over the top of numerous ornamentals. It stays put. Once activated, Snapshot remains in the weed seed germination zone.5. Chickweed Clover Oxalis Killer 128 FL (1 Gal) - 0613 - Bci

Trimec Southern Broadleaf Herbicide Quart

High degree of tolerance in sensitive warm-season turfgrassesWide spectrum broadleaf weed control
Economical clover control option - North or South
Best amine Trimec complex for clover and chickweed
Description
Broadleaf Herbicide for Sensitive Southern Grasses Recommendations For post-emergence clover, chickweed and other broadleaf weed control, especially in sensitive warm-season turfgrass areas on golf courses, residential and commercial lawns, sports turf and park and recreation areas. Designed for high tolerance in sensitive southern turfgrasses. But that doesn't mean it won't control tough weeds anywhere else. In fact, recent research has shown that Trimec Southern is the most effective amine Trimec complex for clover control. Trimec Southern is formulated with less 2,4-D to accommodate sensitive warm-season grasses, and higher in MCPP to maintain the quality performance you expect from a Trimec complex. This adjustment in formulation is the optimum ratio for knocking out clover. So Trimec Southern isn't just for the south, it's for tough weed control anywhere, especially where clover or chickweed is the primary target. Trimec Southern is intended for use on bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, centipedegrass and St. Augustinegrass and can also be used on cool-season grasses such as bluegrass, fescues and ryegrass. Do not apply this product to Floratan St. Augustinegrass.12. Direx 4L Liquid Diuron Herbicide 2.5 gallon 6666038

Application: 0.6 - 4.8 qt. per acre * Use a Dyneamic Surfactant to Increase Effectiveness * See label for complete application instructions
Description
Diuron 4L Herbicide is specially formulated to be effective control of many leaf weeds as well as annual and perennial grasses. It features granules that can be easily mixed with water and then applied as a spray for specific control on harvest or non-harvest land. Diuron 4L herbicide is not corrosive to equipment and is certified as non-flammable. Diuron 4L can be applied prior to the growth or the presence of weeds. Diuron 4L, applied as a pre-emergence and post emergence of the crop and weeds, is an effective method because weeds are controlled in an early, weak seedling state before they compete with the harvest. With favorable moisture conditions, this product continues to control weeds for some time as the harvest becomes stronger and able to compete. If weeds begin to break through the pre-emergence treatment, other weed control methods should be done. These include cultivation and post emergence herbicide applications.13. 1 Gl Trimec Southern Broadleaf Herbicide Controls Clover Chickweed Dandelion +
