Can Battleship III be mixed with a pre-emergent for application at the same time? What standard pre-emergent do you suggest?
While a pre and a post emergent herbicide can be applied at the same time, it usually is not done since the timing for a pre emergent to be effective, and the timing for an actively growing weed to be controlled, would be different times of the year based on soil temps needed. The fall is the main time you hear people using both, but you must be cognizant of your pre emergent to make sure you are not applying it too early so it doesn't break down before you need it to for weed prevention. There is not a standard pre emergent that is used as it depends on the grass type you would be spraying over and what your target weeds are, since not all pre emergents will work on all weed species. If you want to provide our team with the names of your target weeds, we would be happy to make a pre emergent product recommendation. You can mix the Battleship III Herbicidewith most pre emergents provided both are labeled to be used in the same areas.
