Product Overview

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.

    Pittsburgh pa

    By Daviddoeshisowngrassnow on 03/16/2020

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

Q
I need to treat poa annua and oxalis in my Austin, TX zoysia lawn. How and when do I apply Andersons 0.48 Barricade Herbicide?
A

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.

Q
How do I set my Scott broadcast spreader to apply Andersons 0.48 Barricade Herbicide?
A

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.

Does Andersons 0.48 Barricade Herbicide also feed the lawn like a fertilizer?
