Protect\u2122 DF is not phytotoxic to any of the above mentioned grasses when used in accordance with the label. Refer to General Use on label instructions except when more specific directions are given for individual crops or diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Protect DF can provide both curative and protective action. Start preventive applications when conditions for disease occurrence are favorable or when disease first appears and repeat at 10-14 day intervals or until disease threat is past. When conditions are especially favorable for disease development, apply maximum fungicide use rate on a 10-day spray schedule. For best results, use spray mixture the same day it is prepared. Spray uniformly over the area to be treated with a properly calibrated power sprayer. Apply after mowing or avoid mowing twelve hours after application. Apply specified amounts in sufficient water to obtain thorough coverage, 1-3 gal \/1,000 sq ft suggested for mechanical applications, smaller volumes are acceptable for hand applications and with proper equipment calibration and nozzle selection. When treating golf greens, always treat aprons and approaches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS<\/strong><br \/>\nSOD FARM<br \/>\nHarvesting of treated turf is prohibited until 120 hours (5 days) following application.<br \/>\nDo not apply more than 4 times per year.<br \/>\nDo not apply more than 23.2 lbs per acre per application (8 oz\/1,000 sq ft).<br \/>\nDo not re-apply using less than a 10 day interval between applications.<\/p>\n<p>GOLF COURSE<br \/>\nDo not apply more than 23.2 lbs per acre per application (8 oz\/1,000 sq ft).<br \/>\nDo not re-apply using less than a 10 day interval between applications.<br \/>\nCool-season grass greens, tees, and aprons: Do not apply more than 5 times per year.<br \/>\nCool-season grass fairways: Do not apply more than 4 times per year.<br \/>\nWarm-season grass greens, tees, and aprons: Do not apply more than 4 times<br \/>\nper year.<br \/>\nWarm-season grass fairways: Do not apply more than 3 times per year.<\/p>\n<p>ALL OTHER TURF AREAS<br \/>\nDo not apply more than 4 times per year.<br \/>\nDo not apply more than 23.2 lbs per acre per application (8 oz\/1,000 sq ft).<br \/>\nDo not re-apply using less than a 10 day interval between applications.<br \/>\nDo not use on pasture or range grasses.<br \/>\nDo not graze treated areas.<br \/>\nDo not feed clippings to livestock.<br \/>\nDo not use if grass is grown for seed.<br \/>\nNot intended for use by homeowners.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See label for complete application rates and recommendations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>EPA REG.
