Application Information
Incorporation
:
First incorporation must be done within 24 hours of application. Second incorporation should be
done at right angles to the first.
Spring application
:
Apply Edge 5G when the soil is in good working condition. Ensure that the early season flush
of weeds are killed by either first or second incorporation. Delay second incorporation a minimum of 3 days. This
allows time for greater release of Edge from the granule into the soil and assures a more uniform distribution.
