Use Directions for Turf
This turf fertilizer product, containing Crab-Buster
®
herbicide, can be applied up to 4 weeks later than other crabgrass
preventers and provides up to 4 months of crabgrass control.
Menards® Premium Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food 26-0-3 provides preemergence control of crabgrass and control
or suppression of other listed weeds when applied prior to their germination. In addition, this product provides
postemergence control of seedling crabgrass after germination and emergence. Postemergence control is limited to
crabgrass only, but is effective up to 4 weeks after crabgrass has germinated. This generally corresponds to the time when
crabgrass seedlings first become visible in the established turfgrass. Do not apply this product later than 4 weeks after
crabgrass germination.
Apply this product only to turfgrass species listed on this label. The following turfgrass species are tolerant to this product
when applied as directed:
Use Precautions for Turf
This product should be applied only to lawns and ornamental turfgrasses that are well established. For newly established
lawns, initial application of this product should be made only after turfgrasses have developed a vigorous root system,
uniform stand, and received at least two mowings following seeding, sodding, or sprigging. Exception: In newly established
lawns of Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass and/or tall fescue, this product may be applied two weeks after the first
sign of germination.
• Use of this product on lawns and ornamental turfgrasses that are not well established, or weakened by stress due to
mechanical operations, pests, excessive temperatures, or lack
of moisture may result in turfgrass injury.
• For best results, cultural practices that disturb the soil, such as core-, spike-, or hydro-aerification, and verticutting, should be
done before application of this product. Do not apply this product until turfgrass has recovered from the mechanical injury
caused by these cultural practices.
Reseeding, Overseeding, or Sprigging: Reseeding, overseeding, or sprigging of areas treated with this product
within 10 weeks after a single application of this product or within 16 weeks after a split application program totaling 7.7
lb/1000 sq ft (0.5 lb active ingredient per acre) or more may inhibit the establishment of desirable turfgrasses. When
reseeding, overseeding follow proper cultural practices for seedbed preparation, seeding, irrigation and fertilization.
Use Restrictions
• Do not use clippings from treated turf for mulching around vegetables or fruit trees.
• Do not allow people or pets to enter treated area until dust has settled.
Application Timing
Spring Application
Control of Crabgrass: Menards® Premium Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food 26-0-3 provides preemergence control
of crabgrass and control or suppression of other listed weeds when applied prior to their germination. In addition, this
product provides postemergence control of seedling crabgrass after germination and emergence. Postemergence control
is limited to crabgrass only and is effective up to 4 weeks after germination of crabgrass. This generally corresponds to the
time when crabgrass seedlings are at the 3-leaf stage of growth and first become visible in the established turf. This
product will not control crabgrass at later growth stages when crabgrass plants begin to tiller (spread). Properly timed
applications will control existing crabgrass and prevent further emergence of crabgrass seedlings. Do not apply this
product later than 4 weeks after crabgrass germination.
Control or Suppression of Other Grass and Broadleaf Weeds: For control or suppression of other grass and broadleaf
weeds, this product must be applied as a preventative treatment prior to their germination and emergence. Only crabgrass
will be controlled with applications made up to 4 weeks after weed germination.
Fall Application
This product can also be applied from late summer through early fall (late August through November). When applied in the fall,
a sequential or second application of this product must be made the following spring to provide season-long control of
crabgrass. If this product is applied in the fall, do not reseed, overseed or sprig turfgrasses within 12 weeks after
application.
Tips for Improved Weed Control
• For best results, apply this product within a few days after mowing and delay mowing again for a few days after the
application.
The turf herbicide and fertilizer components in this product are not effective until activated by rainfall or irrigation.
Performance is improved if application is followed by 1/2 inch of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation. Erratic weed control may result
if not activated by rainfall or irrigation within 30 days after application.
Weeds Controlled or Suppressed
Menards® Premium Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food 26-0-3 will provide control of crabgrass and control or
suppression of other listed grass and broadleaf weeds when applied prior to their germination.
Weed Resistance Management
Dithiopyr, the active ingredient in this product, is a Group 3 herbicide based on the mode of action classification system of the
Weed Science Society of America. Any weed population may contain or develop plants resistant to Group 3 herbicides.
Resistant weeds may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Such resistant
weed plants may not be effectively managed using Group 3 herbicides but may be effectively managed utilizing other
herbicides alone or in mixtures from a different herbicide Groups that are labeled for control of these weeds and/or by using
cultural or mechanical practices. However, a herbicide mode of action classification by itself may not adequately address
specific weeds that are resistant to specific herbicides. Consult your local company representative, state cooperative
extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate actions for treating specific
resistant weeds.
Best Management Practices
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to one or
more herbicides is recommended. A diversified weed management program may include the use of multiple herbicides
with different modes of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or other cultural
practices. Research has demonstrated that using the labeled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection
for resistant weeds. Scouting after a herbicide application is important because it can facilitate the early identification of
weed shifts and/or weed resistance and thus provide direction on future weed management practices. One of the best
ways to contain resistant weed populations is to implement measures to avoid allowing weeds to reproduce by seed or to
proliferate vegetatively. Cleaning equipment between sites and avoiding movement of plant material between sites will
greatly aid in reducing the spread of resistant weed seed.
Length of Control
Menards® Premium Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food 26-0-3 will provide up to 4 months of crabgrass control when
applied according to label directions. The actual length of control will vary depending on use rate, weather conditions,
condition of the turfgrass, intensity of weed pressure, and the location or "Region" within the United States where this
product is being applied. Refer to the map below to determine the region of the U.S. that includes your location.
Use the table below to determine the amount of Menards® Premium Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food 26-0-3 to apply
in your location based on the desired length of weed control or need for postemergence crabgrass control.

the United States:
†1,000 square feet equals an area 100 feet x 10 feet or square area of about 32 feet on a side.

Application Instructions and Equipment
This product may be applied with drop or rotary-type spreaders designed to apply granular herbicides. For best results, apply
this product evenly and uniformly avoiding streaking, skips or overlaps. Avoid the use of spreaders that tend to apply
granules in narrow rows or concentrated bands. Calibrate the spreader according to the manufacturer's directions. Initial
spreader settings may require adjustment to deliver the application rate under actual application conditions. The desired
calibration setting may be marked or recorded for future reference. Apply this product uniformly over the treatment area.
More uniformity of application can usually be achieved by applying one-half of the required amount of product over the
treatment area and then applying the remaining one-half in a different direction (e.g., at a right angle to the previous
direction). Avoid streaking, skips, or overlaps during application. Check equipment frequently to verify calibration and
proper functioning.
