GENERAL APPLICATION INFORMATION:
- grubGONE! G is not phytotoxic and can be used on all turf grass species.
- Sprinkler irrigation of about 0.5 in or moderate rainfall shortly after application improves performance for all applications by moving grubGONE! G into the root zone where annual white grubs feed.
- 10 lb. bag covers over 4,000 sq ft.
Application Timing of grubGONE! G to Turf Grass or Landscape Ornamental Plants Grown in Outdoor Landscapes, Nurseries, Fields, Greenhouses, or Interior Plantscapes:.
- Apply when larvae of the insect species being targeted are present
- For optimum control, apply from peak adult flight to peak egg hatch of the primary insect species being targeted.
- Additional applications may be made no earlier than 7 days after the preceding application as long as the annual maximum restriction on grubGONE! G used (i.e., 6 lb 14 oz per 1,000 sq. ft. (equivalent to 300 pounds per acre) is not exceeded.
Application Rate of grubGONE! G to Turf Grass and Ornamental Plants:
- Apply 2 lb. 5 oz. to 3 lb. 7 oz. of product per 1,000 sq. ft. of turf grass (equivalent to 100-150 pounds of product per acre of turf grass).
- Apply 2 lb. 5 oz. to 3 lb. 7 oz .of grubGONE! G per 1,000 sq. ft. of ornamental plants (equivalent to 100-150 pounds of product per acre of ornamental plants).
- For individual plant containers, measure the soil surface area, apply grubGONE! G at a proportional rate equivalent to that listed above, and water in to disperse the product into the soil substrate
How To Use: Uniformly broadcast grubGONE! G over the area being treated. Maintain adequate soil moisture for optimum performance, without letting it become too wet or dry.
Product must move to the site of insect pest infestation, such as in the root zone of the host plant.
