What is Acclaim Herbicide and surfactant rainfastness?

I sprayed acclaim (for stilt and crab grass) with this surfactant and we got a rogue rain storm between 45 and 1 hour after spraying the lawn. It had been sunny and hot just prior to the rain I expect the spray dried. Do I need to respray? Will respraying damage the lawn grasses I don't want to kill?

Answer:

Per the product label for Acclaim Extra Herbicide, rainfall or irrigation within one hour of application may cause a reduction in grass control. Allow spray deposit to dry before irrigation. If stunting or injury occurred with the previous application, avoid applying until turfgrass recovery is complete (unless temporary stunting can be tolerated). You should wait at least 14 days before a reapplication with Acclaim Herbicide. Do not reapply Acclaim Extra to previously treated seedling Kentucky bluegrass for at least two months.
