Sure Power®

Sure Power® is a new standard in herbicide power, providing swift control to strike down challenging broadleaf weeds. In fact, broad-spectrum Sure Power is proven to produce excellent control of ground ivy and wild violet. Its four-way formulation manages more than 250 broadleaf weeds, making Sure Power a valued tool in the pursuit of clean cool-season turf.

SAVE THE POWER FOR MID-SUMMER – SPRING IS NOT THE TIME TO APPLY SURE POWER.

Start with Escalade^® 2 early-season, then follow with Sure Power after turf is hardened-off, generally June 15 to Sep 15. Following this rotation order will keep lawns looking their best.

use summary

Apply Sure Power® in 0.2 to 5.5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq ft to control weeds growing in Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and fescue species. For best results, apply when weeds are small in size and actively growing. Use lower application rate for control of sensitive weeds and higher application rates for dense infestations of perennial weeds. During conditions that promote heat stress use lower rates.

precautionary tips for successful results

Refer to the precautionary language on the Sure Power label for practices to avoid

Do not tank mix with any other products, fertilizers or surfactants
Use caution when applying to ensure no spray solution collects on the tires of application equipment
Assure that spray is completely dry prior to entering treated areas as accumulation on tires can lead to tracking
Avoid applications during conditions of fog, high moisture, and wet foliage
Avoid applications for at least 14 days following freezing conditions or frost

The right time to spray

Focus broadcast Sure Power applications when turf is hardened-off (June 15 – September 15)
Air and soil temperatures are warmer (consistently)
Grass dries faster
Turfgrass cuticles are thicker and plants have additional protection on their leaves
Emergence of most key target weeds for Sure Power has occurred

application restrictions

The maximum rate per applications is 3.5 pt/A, and the maximum seasonal rate is 7.25 pt/A per year. Do not apply more than two broadcast applications to the same treatment site per year, excluding spot treatments. The minimum treatment interval between applications is 30 days.

See label for complete directions for use, precautions and restrictions.
