Application Guidelines

To get the best results from Fertilome Weed Out + Lawn Fertilizer, it's essential to follow the correct application procedures. Proper usage will maximize weed control and ensure that your grass benefits from the added nutrients.

• Pre-Application Preparation: Before applying the product, make sure that your lawn is slightly damp. A light watering or dew on the grass will help the granules adhere to the weeds, improving the effectiveness of the herbicide. However, do not water the lawn for at least 24 hours after application to allow the product to fully penetrate the weeds.
• Application Rate: Apply the fertilizer evenly over the entire lawn using a broadcast spreader or drop spreader. Be sure to follow the recommended application rates listed on the product label for your specific grass type to avoid over-application.
• Timing: Fertilome Weed Out + Lawn Fertilizer is best applied when weeds are actively growing. This is typically in the spring or early summer, although the product can be used at any time during the growing season when broadleaf weeds are present.
• Lawn Care After Application: Avoid mowing the lawn for at least one to two days after applying the product, as this will give the herbicide time to take full effect. After the initial 24-hour period, regular watering and mowing can resume as needed.

Broadleaf Weed Control for Cool and Warm-Season Grasses

One of the standout features of Fertilome Weed Out + Lawn Fertilizer 25-0-4 is its ability to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds. This makes it an effective post-emergent solution for lawns plagued by stubborn weeds that can disrupt grass growth and ruin the appearance of your yard.

• Powerful Weed Control: The product contains a combination of three potent weed killers designed to target common and hard-to-kill broadleaf weeds. It is highly effective against dandelions, spurge, dollar weed, wild onion, chickweed, clover, and over 200 other broadleaf weed species listed on the label. This broad-spectrum control ensures that you can tackle a wide variety of weeds with a single treatment.
• Post-Emergent Action: Fertilome Weed Out + Lawn Fertilizer works as a post-emergent herbicide, meaning it targets weeds that have already emerged in your lawn. This allows you to address existing weed problems quickly and efficiently, without harming your grass.
• Visible Results in 7 to 10 Days: After applying the product, visible signs of weed decline can be seen in seven to ten days, providing fast results. Weeds will begin to wilt and die off, making it easier to maintain a pristine, weed-free lawn.

However, it’s important to note that the product should not be applied to Floratam or other improved varieties of St. Augustine Grass in Florida, as it may cause damage to these specific types of turfgrass.

Balanced Lawn Nutrition: 25-0-4 Formula

In addition to its weed-killing properties, Fertilome Weed Out + Lawn Fertilizer is also a powerful lawn fertilizer. Its 25-0-4 nutrient composition is specifically designed to promote healthy grass growth and improve the overall appearance of your lawn.

• 25% Nitrogen: Nitrogen is a key nutrient for grass health, responsible for promoting vigorous growth and lush, green coloration. With 25% nitrogen, this product delivers a nutrient boost that encourages healthy grass development and recovery after weed removal.
• 0% Phosphorus: The lack of phosphorus in this formula is ideal for areas where soil phosphorus levels are already sufficient or where phosphorus runoff is a concern. This helps prevent excess phosphorus from leaching into waterways, making the product more environmentally friendly.
• 4% Potassium: Potassium plays a vital role in strengthening grass, improving its resilience to stressors such as drought, heat, and disease. The 4% potassium content in this fertilizer helps ensure that your lawn remains hardy and resistant to environmental challenges.

By providing your lawn with the right balance of nitrogen and potassium, Fertilome Weed Out + Lawn Fertilizer promotes healthy growth, resulting in a greener, more vibrant lawn that can better compete with weeds.
