Application
Turf - Seedhead Surpression: Rate: 5 FL OZ/1000 SQ FT Spray Volume: 1.0 - 2.0 GAL/1000 SQ FT.
For best results, apply in sufficient volume of water to provide uniform coverage. Use of spreader/sticker with an application of Quali-Pro Ethephon 2 SL is not necessary. Quali-Pro Ethephon 2 SL is rainfast within 2 hours. Do not allow entry into treated area until Quali-Pro Ethephon 2 SL has dried. For maximum performance, delay mowing until the day after application.
Make the initial application prior to the emergence of new seedheads. A period of 2-3 weeks after application is required for maximum performance. Repeat applications may be made to predominately Poa annua or white clover sites as needed, but not less than two weeks after the previous application.

An application of Quali-Pro Ethephon 2 SL slows the growth of turfgrasses, thus reducing the required frequency of mowing and the volume of clippings collected. For best turfgrass growth regulation, apply Quali-Pro Ethephon 2 SL when daytime air temperatures are 65°F and rising. Quali-Pro Ethephon 2 SL should only be applied once turfgrass mowing heights have been established for the season. Avoid multiple applications of Quali-Pro Ethephon 2 SLin areas where excessive thatch has accumulated.
See Label for complete application instructions.
Restrictions
- Since Quali-Pro Ethephon 2 SL is an acidic product, prolonged exposure to spray deposits will damage acrylic plastics, certain paints, and metals. Thoroughly rinse all exposed acrylic-plastic materials and painted surfaces with a detergent and water within one hour after exposure to spray deposits.
- Do not treat weak trees or trees under stress (drought, insect, or disease damaged trees), as excessive leaf drop or twig drop can result.
- Do not use on small red fruited varieties of crabapple, as fruit elimination will not be satisfactory.
