Application: This is a professional formulation and should be applied from Battery-powered 4 gallon sprayer with  TeeJet foliar spray tip. This herbicide is not to be applied via a hose-end sprayer. 

When to Apply: Velocity PM is most effective and safest when applied to turf and weeds that are actively growing. Treating when temperatures are consistently in the 70°s is a good time to start, but treatments can be more effective when air temperatures are in the 70°s and 80°s. Applications in the summer can be made when temperatures are up to 90° F.

Large Area Broadcast Application Rates

Apply 2.25 fl oz/A twice, 14 – 21 days apart. These two applications can be followed up with a third if warranted. To ensure thorough coverage, apply a minimum of 20 gallon of spray solution per acre.

Spot Treatments with a Backpack Sprayer Application Rates

Velocity PM has a very low-use-rate, requiring a small syringe for mixing exact measurements when using small spray tanks. The below recommendations are based on applications with a backpack sprayer that has been calibrated to deliver one (1) gallon of spray solution per 1000 square feet.

• Mix 1.5 ml (.05 fl oz) of Velocity PM for every gallon of water and apply over 1000 square feet.

• Spot treat Poa patches twice with the above mixture 14 - 21 days apart.

• Avoid any unnecessary sprayer overlap.

• Change the dilution rate accordingly if the backpack sprayer is calibrated to deliver anything different from one (1) gallon of spray solution per 1,000 sq ft.

Do NOT use surfactant of any kind with Velocity PM

Do not mow immediately after treating with this product or before spray has dried. After treatment, do not transfer clippings to non-target areas.
