HOW TO USE Restraints DO NOT apply to turf under stress, newly seeded, newly laid turf or sprigged turf. Delay application until turf is at 100% cover and established with a root system developed beyond 3 cm depth. DO NOT apply if heavy rain has been forecast within 48 hours or to waterlogged soil. DO NOT water or irrigate to the point of runoff within 3 days of application. DO NOT apply in vegetable gardens or around fruit trees or sensitive plants.

Apply BARRICADE® Pre-Emergent Herbicide before weed germination for preventative control of up to 6 months. Apply in early spring (summer weeds) or late summer to early autumn for Winter Grass.
