The patented R-50 component of Gemini Granular gives it the power to stop weeds with less active ingredient, allowing more applications per year and reduced active ingredients applied per acre.
-
R-50 Optimizer improves the release and distribution of the active ingredients, creating a stronger and wider barrier of protection than most granular herbicides
-
Long-duration herbicide labeled for over 75 plant species including woody ornamentals, and many perennials
-
Selective combination of prodiamine and isoxaben provides effective weed control for up to four months at high rates, 60-90 days at low
-
Adds great flexibility to any chemical rotation by delivering lasting weed control with less product
Newly-transplanted container or field nursery stock
- Apply after cuttings form roots and are established.
- To avoid inhibition of the tissue union, apply before budding/grafting or after buds/grafts have taken.
- Do not apply to wet foliage or to pots less than six inches wide.
Established container, field nursery stock, or landscape plants
- Apply at any time as an over-the-top, or soil directed application.
Landscape (or ornamental) plantings
- Apply as an over-the-top, or as a soil directed application.
- Delay applications to newly transplanted ornamentals until soil has settled around transplants.
Bare ground application for container placement
- Apply to soil (including mulch, gravel, wood chips, or other permeable base) upon which containerized ornamentals are placed.
- After application, use a post-emergence herbicide to control break though weeds.
- If necessary, perform shallow cultivation or hand weeding to avoid disturbing the herbicide barrier.
Shadehouses and uncovered polyhouses
- Plants must receive two irrigations totaling at least 0.5 inches of water before covering.
- After application, houses must remain uncovered for at least 21 days.
Ornamental bulbs (not for use on ornamental bulbs grown for commercial production in California)
- Apply before bulbs emerge.
- Do not re-apply after emergence.
