How to Apply Governor G

Before Applying Governor G

  • Governor G should not be applied unless irrigation is installed and water is plentiful.
  • Apply only when your lawn is healthy and well fed, and has been cut recently.
  • Make sure you know the exact square footage of your lawn. Guessing could result in under- or over-application. For more help, click here.
  • Identify whether you have cool season or warm season grass. This will determine your application rates, which vary significantly between the two.
  • Whenever possible, weigh out the amount of product required.
  • Avoid any corrective chemical applications such as weed killers both before and after application. Any damage from these will be slow to grow out.

Applying Governor G

  • Applying in early morning when the grass is wet from dew can help with transferring the active ingredient to the plant. This is not required, just a best practice.
  • Avoid cutting for at least 48 hours to avoid particle pick-up or movement.
  • DO NOT WATER IN!
  • Apply every 4 weeks for continued control through the growing season. If heavy growth is seen sooner, apply earlier.
  • Stop all applications 60 days prior to cold weather or frost that will cause grass to go dormant.

Spreader Settings

We recommend using a broadcast spreader. These spreader settings are a guide. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Be sure to calibrate your spreader before every application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use restrictions: Do not mow 24 hours after applying to avoid removing product from the lawn. Do not mow 4 hours before applying to avoid potential turfgrass injury. Do not scalp the lawn and do not remove more than about 1/3 of the leaf height.
