PRE EMERGENT FERTILIZER

Now is the time to finish your 2011 spring preemergent fertilizer applications on your lawns. I prefer to use prodiamine (brand name barricade) and another great one is dithiopyr (brand name dimension). Both can be picked up at your local Lesco store. Ask for those active ingredients and they will be happy to show you the selection they have that has those active ingredients in it. The reason I like these products is the weed coverage. We have a broad spectrum of weed pressure in Kansas City and these are the least expensive herbicides that cover the weed pressure. Barricade should be applied by April 15th and Dimension can be applied as late as may 15th. Dimension has some post emergent activity on crabgrass so that is why it can be applied later in the season.
