Curfew Best Management Practices
Prior to any application with Curfew• soil fumigant, be sure to consult and adhere to your state -specific label requirements.
The injection of Curfew soil fumigant into golf course putting greens, fairways, roughs and recreational turf requires slicing the ground surface to a depth of at least 5
Inches. The parallel slits created by this treatment typically take 2 to 4 weeks to repair. Enhanced root development should be most apparent 4 to 8 weeks after
injection. For greens, in most cases, the "puttability" of the green can be maintained throughout this time period with proper cultural management practices.
PRIOR TO APPLICATION (G = Greens F = Fairways/Recreational Turf)
G Topdresslag inimedfately prior to btlectfon with subsequent surface brushing after the Injection can be beneficial for masking Injection slits. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must
be worn during the 24-hour re-entry Interval.
F Root enhancement will only be optimal with adequate N, P, and K fertility. Apply 1 pound of N per 1000 W within one week of treatment with Curfew• soil fumigant.
G Optimum root and shoot growth requires adequate N, P and K fertility. Apply 0.5 to 1 poundof N per 1000 fN within 2 weeks of injection. Potassium influences root growth, and stress
and water tolerance relationships in tudgrus. Assay a representative area of soil for extractable nutrients, and amend your fertility program as recommended.
G/F Apply irrigation (1f Inch) to ensure moist soil condition at time of applk allot usually within 1 hour prior to application unless suj)fcient rainfall Is recehred.
This is one of the most importdnt factors to a successful application and to minimize damage along injection tines. Elevated areas, tees, and greens typically dry
outlaster than other areas, es dolly during hot, dry, windy conditions.
G Putting greens that are drier than normal (< 50% field capacity) prior to application must be irrigated. Applicators will not inject greens that are suffering due to drought or heat stress.
Applicators may determine more irrigation is necessary prior to the application.
G/F Aerification should not occur for the period 7 days prior to or 7 days after injection.
G/F Notify the Agent and Applicator as soon as possible in the event of postponement or cancellation of the job.
G/F Flag sprinkler heads and other known underground obstructions in and near areas to be treated.

la a6N1 . Elevatedareas, tees, and ns out faster than other areas, es ectal during hot dry, windy conditions
Dosed on environmental conditions, at least s to 10 trrigotlon events of at least 0,1 inch are required the day of treatment (once at least every hour), Then, for the
first 72 hours following Injection Irrigation timing and water quantities should be similar to those used when a putting green is being established. After day 3,
gradually return to normal watering for another 24 - 48 hours (4 and 5 days after treatment). Avoid puddling and flooding of the treated turf. Due to increased
irrigation and fertility, greens should be closely monitored for disease development.
F Apply Irrigation (112 inch) immedkftelly following application unless rainfall is received, After the 112 inch of Irrigation is applied, subsequent applications of
water may be beneJldal under extreme heat conditions for the next 24 hours. Avokf flooding Infected turf, but keep moist to minimize damage along Injection
Ones, EMvated areas, tee:, and gniens typicalk dry out aster than other areas, especiglily during hot dry, mdndy conditions.
24 HOURS FOLLOWING APPLICATION
ROLLING GUIDELINES
G Rolling the putting green twice after the initial post -treatment irrigation is completed and prior to mowing is strongly recommended. The first rolling should be In
the same direction as the slits and the second at a 45-degree angle to the sits. Rolling after injection and after the fi rst irrigation event is beneficial to putting surface
uniformity. Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn during the 24-hour re-entry interval.
MOWING GUIDELINES
G If rolling has not been completed, rolling needs to be completed prior to the first mowing. The first two mowings after injection should be conducted in the same
direction as the slits. Consider raising the mowing height for 2 - 3 days after treatment. (As normally done after core-oerifyfng.)
