The Anderson’s 0.48% Barricade Pre-Emergent Weed Control Herbicide for Lawns and Landscape Ornamentals on DG Pro prevents unwanted annual grassy and broadleaf weeds, including crabgrass, poa annua, goosegrass, and henbit. Prodiamine, the active ingredient in this pre-emergent herbicide, is proven to prevent undesirable weeds without harming beneficial plants.
This weed and crabgrass preventer provides excellent residual control of broadleaf weeds because it inhibits the seed germination and the root development of weeds. It is ideal to use in lawns, field-grown and landscape ornamentals, turfgrasses, sod farms, wildflower plantings, non-crop areas around managed rights-of-way for transportation systems like pumping stations, parking areas, tank farms, and Christmas tree farms.
To maximize weed control, Andersons Barricade Herbicide is best applied in the early spring and fall before weed seeds germinate. It is recommended to activate with at least 0.5-inch of water within 14 days after the application. Available in 18-lb. and 50-lb. bags.

Let me start this by saying I hired a lawn company to take care of my yard last year. I bought a 6 application package that was slightly over 425 bucks. Anyway they leave a detailed note on what they do each time. They first application they did last year was pre-emergent followed by 5 applications of basically just fertilizer. So by August my yard was full of weeds and I felt like I got ripped off and could do a better job myself. I researched everything and decided to go with this barricade as my first application of the year. I ordered this and just applied it yesterday as we seem to be having a early spring. I have a earthway spreader and used 12 as my setting. I will update this in a few months to give you a good idea how well this worked and my total spent. I'm at 78 bucks right now

Works
By Chris on 08/08/2020
I bought a 50lb bag of this to use on cool season, mixed species turf. My lawn is mostly tall fescue, with perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass. I applied this at the bag recommended rate in April and have had absolute NO crabgrass in my front yard. I reapplied in mid-June and still have no crabgrass or other broadleaf weeds. I have a pinch of clover here and some nutsedge there, but I spot treat those with mesotrione. Suffice to say the turf is 98% weed free without any crabgrass at all. Combined with an aggressive disease treatment and a hybrid fertilization plan (biosolid fertilizer, humic acid, micro nutrient and liquid spray), we have the best lawn on the entire block.

SO FAR, SO GOOD!
By Jon on 02/29/2020
I've been so impressed with DO MY OWN I decided to join the subscription service. The first package that arrived consisted of Barricade pre-emergent. I know Barricade has a superior reputation and is used by many professional landscapers throughout my area. The package came complete with directions for use, rubber gloves, and more. So - so far so good!

Fall Application
By John on 11/22/2019
First time use. Applied late October for winter weed control in Central FL. Effectiveness will be determined in time. Product went down as planned with my spreader using 1/2 rate twice over. Although I am satisfied with this granular product, I will switch to a spray pre-emergent in the spring, which is less expensive per application. I would recommend this granular product for those who don't use a sprayer.

Not as good as promate granular barricade.
By Jarod on 03/15/2020
I wouldn't recommend this product compared to the promate granular barricade. I put down 4.0 lbs per 1000sqft on my zoysia lawn in late winter this year and I've had more weeds than ever. This will be my last time using this brand. I don't know what the hype is over “The Anderson's” products.

Andersons 0.48 Barricade Herbicide contains a pre-emergent that needs to be applied before weeds have emerged as it is used to prevent germination. Please contact your local cooperative extension office to determine the correct timing of the application as this will vary greatly from region to region.

Unfortunately we do not have the spreader settings for that specific combo and the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag of Andersons 0.48 Barricade Herbicide. Due to there being thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates. You can see a short video on how to accomplish this below.

Yes, you are able to overseed after an application of Andersons 0.48 Barricade Herbicide. This product could inhibit the germination of turf species if you overseed too soon after an application. Please follow the intervals given based on the rates used on the table located on page two of the product label for best overseeding/reseeding results.
When used at the lowest rates, it starts at 4 months after application that you can overseed.

Is a fertilizer application required as a supplemental to Barricade Andersons 0.48?
No, Andersons 0.48 Barricade Herbicide is a pre-emergent that helps prevent weeds on the label from germinating, it does not contain a fertilizer. What fertilizer you need is going to vary depending on what nutrients are needed. We actually have a great guide that can explain how to select the best fertilizer for your lawn.
