Unfortunately, since Dallisgrass is closely related to Tall Fescue, generally what kills one will kill the other. We normally recommend hand pulling, if possible, or using something like Roundup QuikPro to spot treat the Dallisgrass, and then reseeding with Tall Fescue once the Dallisgrass is gone. We recommend using something Dimension as a pre-emergent for you to try to help prevent having to control as much with a post emergent down the road. Often with a few years of fall and spring applications you can get decent prevention.
Pre-emeregent application of Dimension 2EW or Pendulum 2G will kill sandburs. The treated area should not be disturbed during this period and should be watered in thoroughly for best results. As always, read and follow label directions carefully. Also remember that it may take a couple of years to eliminate all the burs hiding in your lawn. We recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the master gardener on staff as he/she may be able to tell you what has worked best in your region and also the exact time to apply the products for the best result in your region.
Depending on what type of lawn you have, Hi Yield 2, 4-D will treat sticker bur actively growing. We recommend also to make sure there is an adequate amount of water being applied to your turf as sometimes lack of water can cause sticker bur.
Yes, Dimension 2EW Herbicide can be sprayed directly on the crabgrass that is growing in and around the pygmy barberry and boxwoods. This product should not be sprayed over the top of these ornamentals. Keep in mind that Dimension is a pre-emergent herbicide and will only control newly emerged crabgrass up to the 4-tiller stage.
No, Dimension 2EW can be tank mixed with a variety of other herbicides and fertilizers. It is always recommended to do a test mix first to make sure whatever product you are wanting to use with the Dimension blends easily and does not cause clumping or any reaction that would cause your equipment to clog. Keep in mind the RoundUP is a non-selective herbicide, so it will kill any plants that you spray with it. If you are planning on doing a lawn renovation such as reseeding, you will need to wait a full season after applying Dimension before you can reseed the lawn.
As long as the bluebonnets are not growing from seed or transplanting, an application of Dimension 2EW Herbicide in the area should not effect them since it is labeled to be used around landscape ornamentals.
How much of an herbicide such as Dimension 2EW that you need to dilute will depend on the size of the area you need to treat, the type of turfgrass (variety and area) you are treating, and which program from the product label you are using. If you are able to supply this information, then we would be happy to give you more detailed instructions. Keep in mind that your water is just a carrier of your herbicide; it is most important to use the correct amount of product applied evenly over the area.
Some good pre-emergent options for you to use for crabgrass and other weeds in Bermuda/St. Augustine would be Dimension 2EW or Prodiamine 65 WDG. You can use Blindside as a post-emergent option.

Yes, Dimension 2EW Herbicide is labeled for controlling sandbur. You can reseed 3 months after application.
You can only mix the Dimension 2EW and a non selective product like Eraser or Roundup if you are spraying a bare ground area or and area where no desirable vegetation is currently present. Dimension is normally used in turfgrass and ornamental areas as a pre emergent herbicide for weed prevention and Eraser and Roundup are normally used for post emergent spot treating or broadcast if everything in that area is needs to be killed. If that applies to you then you can mix the two without issue.
You will use anywhere from 0.28-0.73 oz of Dimension 2EW Herbicide per 1000 sq. ft., depending on your location, what weeds you need to treat, and the application program you choose. Please refer to pages 4-6 of the product label to find the exact usage rates for your needs.
Spraying Dimension 2EW and Gallery SC directly to soil will definitely be better, more thorough and can yield better results. If this is not possible, make sure that the products, whichever you apply, is watered in enough to ensure application, but it may yield slow results, and therefore decrease the effectiveness of it.
There is nothing on either the label of Dimension 2EW Herbicide or AmTide MSM 60 DF Herbicide regarding whether they can be tank mixed or not. We could recommend do a small tank mixture to do a compatibility test before mixing them together in a gallon mixture.
