start2finish is an unknown quantity at this point
think of pesticides like rat poison, if you put out rat poison and the rats don;t eat it, how much good does it do?

well the same thinking goes along with pesticides. If the plant is dormant it will not take in the poison.

If you have mowed recently, it is stressed and will not take in as well.

If it is a drought it will not take in as well.

If it is after a good rain, this is an excellent time to spray, the plants are unstressed and will soak up the poison like a bee likes sugar (assuming the plants are not in dormant season) you will have better results.

There are many variables with pesticides, but you will make your results better with these thoughts.
