Mesotrione is a very useful herbicide as it prevents crabgrass seed germination and kills broadleaf weeds (dandelion and clover among others) on contact, while allowing certain cool season turfgrass to grow in a weed-free environment.

Not your typical weed killer! Mesotrione prevents photosynthesis in plants. It will absorb and start working immediately, however, it can take up to 2-3 weeks before full death occurs on your weeds. Mesotrione must be activated by water. If rainfall hasn’t occurred within 10 days of application, water the area with 0.15 inches of water
