What is the required size and position of the lawn marker after pesticide application to turf?

• A. 4 inches high and 5 inches wide, 12 inches above the turf
• B. 4 inches high and 5 inches wide, at ground level
• C. 6 inches high and 4 inches wide, 6 inches above the turf
• D. 3 inches high and 3 inches wide, 18 inches above the turf

Answer: (A)

Lawn markers after pesticide applications must be sized and positioned so they are clearly visible and stay out of the way of mowing and foot traffic. The best choice uses a marker four inches tall and five inches wide, placed twelve inches above the turf. This size is large enough to be easily seen and to carry any needed labeling, while the height keeps the marker above the grass and out of the mower’s path. Markers at ground level can be damaged or hidden by equipment, and different heights or smaller sizes reduce visibility and may not meet labeling requirements, making them less reliable for warning others about treated areas.
