I should have clarified. For the spring application, you should apply before the soil temps reach 55 degrees for roughly 5 days.

You can enter your zip code to see the recent soil temps along with the trends.

Note, areas that get more sun or are near concrete or brick might warm up faster than other areas. So you're better to do it a little earlier than too late.

This is a good deal. People should be putting this product down within the next 3-4 weeks around most of the country to minimize the amount of crabgrass popping up in the summer.

$20 of this product now will save countless hours and $ later trying to remove crabgrass.

It is the ground temperature you want to watch for - like 55 or so.

Pre-emergents should be applied at least twice a year. As previously mentioned, they should be applied in the spring before the ground temperature reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Then it should be applied again in the early fall after temperatures begin to come down.

Good post on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/lawncare...d_to_know/

But don't put this down if you are going to put down grass seed! If you do, then the seeds won't grow - the pre-emergent prevents their growth. If you have green like I do in my lawn (poa annua in my bermuda grass in NC), I will spray the bad boys with Roundup at this point - I won't have green grass until mid-May. Also check with your extension agent or your local ag school - they will have some good opinions.

Thanks!

Timing depends on what part of the country you are in and soil temperatures.

In general, good to put it down about a week or two after the forsythia bloom and before the leaves fall.

for southern states it may be too late for a preemergent. I have a yard full of weeds already.but I still put down the "real" preemergent yesterday from SuperSod. Hopefully it will kill the late blooming weeds and stifle the growing ones.

https://www.supersod.com/products/0-0-7-pre-emergent-herbicide

or for fescue lawns

Note this is a 50 pound bag above from SuperSod versus Amazon 10 pound bag so compare shop ingredients!
I'm afraid it won't do anything for the growing ones (even the germinated ones you can't see yet). It is 93 today in DFW and I missed my window. Better to be 2 weeks early than a day late.

It will mess up with the reseeding or overseeding. Wait for 4-5 months after application if you plan to fix your lawn.

I dont have a great understanding on the timing of when to use these, so forgive the ignorance, but are you saying that once temp reaches over 80, these are no long effective? Does it have to be consistent over 80s or since we are in the season where temps will dip and come back, will it not be effective on the dips (like 60s/50s)?

For dfw, it's middle of March to apply pre-emergent. Why do you think it's too late now? Because of 93f today or ??

These preemergents act to stop the weed seeds from germinating. That's it. Once the germination process starts you are too late.

You basically sprinkle it over the lawn? My grass is pretty much dead until march/April when it starts getting warmer. Last year I had tons of crabgrass everywhere so a preventative solution sounds great if it works

Soil temperature has been above 60 degrees for more than a week in Dallas. A large percentage of crabgrass has already germinated.

I'd bet your seeing Poa Annua. The fall pre app is to prevent Poa Annua from popping up in February.

It's crazy, so early here in central Texas. My Bermuda is still dormant and the weeds are already out of control. And this is the first time I did winter pre-emergent
