Newly planted grass should have at least 2 leaves and have a good condition for soil fertility and irrigation. The grass should not be cut at least three days before and four days after spraying. Rainfall up to 6 hours after spray does not have a negative effect on the performance. The most appropriate time for spraying is when weeds including 2 to 4 leaves, are fully active and growing.
