BEFORE APPLYING GOVERNOR G
- Governor G should not be applied unless irrigation is installed and water is plentiful.
- Governor G should be applied only when your lawn is healthy and well fed, and has been cut recently.
- Use an online square footage calculator to make sure you know the exact square footage of your lawn. Guessing could result in under- or over-application.
- Identify whether you have cool season (Kentucky bluegrass, fine fescue, ryegrass, etc.) or warm season (Bermuda, zoysia, St. Augustine, etc.) grass. This will determine your application rates, which vary significantly between the two.
- Whenever possible, weigh out the amount of product required.
- Avoid any corrective chemical applications such as weed killers both before and after application. Any damage from these will be slow to grow out.
APPLYING GOVERNOR G
- Applying in early morning can help with transferring the active ingredient to the plant. This is not required, just a best practice.
- Avoid cutting for at least 48 hours to avoid bagger pick-up or movement.
- Do not water in
- Apply every 4 weeks for continued control through the growing season. If heavy growth is seen sooner, apply earlier.
- Stop all applications 60 days prior to cold weather or frost that will cause grass to go dormant.
The spreader settings for this product were established using standard equipment available from the spreader manufacturer at swath widths and speeds typically used within the industry. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Spreader settings are intended as a guide and unit calibration should still be performed to ensure proper application rates. They are not intended to replace calibration. The Andersons recommends the use of broadcast spreader for its products.

Great stuff
This product has given me more time to do other things than mowing every time I turn around. It has made my yard thicker and more healthier looking. Other people around me started using it after they saw what it could do.
Thicken your lawn
I didn’t know about Governor G as we have recently moved t TN and in the process of getting our lawn back in shape. This product works great. Applied following directions and using Anderson rotary spreader. In 2 weeks, I have seen a remarkable difference in my lawn. More horizontal growth resulting in a nice thick carpet like lawn. I mow with a rotary mower and have irrigation. Very pleased with Anderson’s lawn products!
Works great !!! But!
Great product , a little expensive compared to liquid regulator. But easier to use. Needs more specific instructions on best ways and time to apply. And maybe a price more competitive with liquid version to make it economical for the residential home owner.
First time user
Really cool. Applied to front yard only. 8 days later mowed both front and backyard. Easily 2x the clippings in the back. The front was hard to see tire tracks the grass was so low. I will be applying to backyard next.
