Guaranteed Analysis:

Total Nitrogen (N): 9%. Water-insoluble nitrogen: 9%. Nutrients for this product are derived from Non-GMO Corn Gluten Meal.

Directions for Use:

For pre-emergent weed control, apply corn gluten before germination of weed seeds. Apply to established lawns and landscape areas in the early spring before soil temperatures reach 55 degrees Fahrenheit. An application in the fall is also recommended. Corn Gluten should not be applied to newly seeded areas.

A short drying period following germination helps kill the weeds before they form roots. If it does not rain for 5 days after application, water with approximately 1/4 inch water and then allow the soil to dry for a period following germination. For improved weed prevention apply at a rate of 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet.

Coverage & Application Rates:

Apply 6 pounds per 1,000 square feet with a broadcast spreader. Provides 0.54 lb. of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. Each 30 pound bag covers up to 5,000 square feet.

For commercial applications, apply 11 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Apply up to 20 lbs per 1,000 square feet for enhanced weed prevention.

Spreader settings are listed on the bag for many common broadcast spreaders and drop spreaders, including models from Scotts, Earthway and AgriFab.

Using Corn Gluten to Prevent Weed Growth:

As a weed suppressant, corn gluten acts as a natural "pre-emergent" - it inhibits seed germination by drying out a seed as soon as it begins to sprout. These qualities make corn gluten an ideal 'weed n feed' product.

To take advantage of its weed-prevention properties, corn gluten must be applied to lawns before weed seeds germinate. Apply in early spring before the weeds begin to sprout, as a general rule, around the time when forsythia, daffodils and early spring bulbs are blooming. Apply again to lawns in the fall. Corn gluten is also useful when transplanting vegetables and shrubs. Apply immediately after transplanting to prevent weeds from sprouting through the enriched soil and competing with your transplants.
