    For those of you that use Sonar in your irrigation lakes, can you tell me what your rates and intervals are, how long after application you wait to water?

    Our contractor wants 7 days no watering and has to make monthly apps, I mentioned using split rates and repeat apps but don't know enough about it to speak on the topic.

    Thanks!

    I know when applying you want minimal water movement to maintain desired ppb concentrations for optimal efficacy.

    Here is a link to the label.

    Still water:

    30 day intervals:
    10ppb
    5ppb
    5ppb

    Not having any history of your property, I would recommend you call Sepro, they will come out and do the FAST test for free and tell you what the rates need to be, but we have been using 10,5 and 5 for years. That said, I try to avoid Sonar in my irrigation lake this time of year.

    I will say that if you have a mainline break, you may kill a bunch of grass.

    This time of year, 7 days is not doable, you may want to use a contact until the rain starts again.
