Directions for Optimal Results:

1. Application Timing: Apply in early spring, 2 weeks before weed seeds germinate, and in late summer or early fall, after heat stress.
2. Preparation: Ensure the lawn is dry before application.
3. Application: Use a fertilizer spreader to distribute the product evenly over the lawn surface, respecting the application rates indicated on the packaging.
4. Watering: Water the lawn lightly after application. Avoid excessive watering, which could displace the product.
5. Overseeding: If you plan to overseed your lawn, wait at least 6 to 8 weeks after applying corn gluten meal, as it can inhibit the germination of all seeds.
6. Important: This product prevents the germination of dandelion and crabgrass seeds but does not control weeds already established at the time of application.
