    Q
    Can you recommend a product that will kill mulberry weed without harming gardenias?
    Mulberry weed growing under my miniature gardenias, and it is really too much to pick. I need a product that will kill the mulberry weed without harming gardenias.
    A

    Mulberry weed is an annual weed and can be prevented with the proper timing of pre-emergent chemical. The best pre-emergent for broadleaf weeds is dithiopyr such as Dimension 2EW. It should be applied in late March and again in mid-May. If you have a huge mulberry weed population, you can make a third application in early July.

    Spot treating with something like Hi-Yield 2,4-D and/or a glyphosate based product will kill mulberry weed but care should be taken to avoid contact/drift with the gardenias as they could be injured as well.

    Key is to kill or pull the weed before it drops the seeds, which the plant does a few weeks after germination.  There is an article by UGA here that might help.

    The manufacturer recommends to water in Dimension 2EW inside 24 hours after application so it would be best if you apply it the day before rain is expected if you do not manually water the product in.

    Q

    I'm in north Florida and have several established citrus and fig trees. Is this product okay to use on my lawn around them without making the fruit from these trees unsafe to eat?
    A
    Dimension 2EW should not be applied within the drip line of any fruit trees. Also, the label does state that if your lawn is treated with Dimension 2EW, the grass clippings should not be left around the fruit trees.

    Q
    Is Dimension 2EW Herbicide effective against Japanese stiltgrass?
    A

    While Dimension 2EW Herbicide can prevent japanese stiltgrass when used according to label instructions, it would not control existing stiltgrass. Most applications for prevention will need to be made spring and fall for 2 years to prevent seeds that can lay dormant in the soil over time.

  • Asked by Gary from Newton, North Carolina
    02/11/2013
    Q
    Is there any benefit to alternating Barricade and Dimensions2EW every other month in North Carolina foothills?
    We have had much difficulty controlling crabgrass and dallis grass. I understand they are different. Just looking for the best combination of pre-emergents.
    A
    Barricade and Dimension are actually in the same class of herbicides which means they work with the same mode of action and there would be no benefit to switching between them. We would recommend Barricade because it lasts longer and you will get great control with just Barricade. If you have current weeds (though you should be ahead of the game at this date) try Monument, it will do a great job.

    Q
    What do you have in the way of pre-emergent specifically for Bermuda grass?
    A
    Our two most popular pre-emergents for use on established Bermuda grass are Dimension 2EW and Barricade 65WG. Both products do a great job but we recommend checking out the product label on each product to so see which one is labeled to target the weeds you usually have issues with.

  • Asked by Philip from Frederick, Md
    01/30/2014
    Q
    Surfactant?
    The directions say ounces is that weight or volume measure? I assume volume because we are dealing with a liquid but I thought is ask to be sure. Thank you. Also, would I apply Dimension with a surfactant? Can you recommend a fan-pattern nozzle to apply Dimension? I am uncertain what rate per minute is best for applying herbicides on lawns (I only use my sprayer on my lawn)
    A
    In general an ounce of liquid is a measure of volume and an ounce of a solid is a measure of weight. Yes, it is recommended to mix Dimension 2EW with a surfactant which may improve control. Most nozzels are only compatable with the same manufacturer as the sprayers and since I am not sure what Brand and model sprayer you have I am unable to recommend a suitable fan spray nozzel. Also, herbicides do not give a water amount.  They only tell you how much of the product to apply over 1000 square feet.  The amount of water is dependent on how ever much water it takes for you to walk 1000 square feet.  Whether you place the amount of product per 1000 square feet in a gallon of water or 10 gallons of water, it does not matter, just as long as that amount of product is distributed over the 1000 square feet.

  • Asked by Raymond from Fairfield, Vt
    02/29/2016
    Q
    Is Dimension 2EW safe for penncross2 creeping bentgrass used on my home putting green?
    A

    While creeping bentgrass is listed as a tolerable turf grass, the product label for Dimension 2EW actually states that not all varieties of creeping bentgrass have been tested. It also says do not apply to golf course putting greens, so we are unable to advise that it could safely be used on your home putting green.  We would recommend confirming with the manufacturer directly to be sure.  Dow AgroSciences can be reached at 800-992-5994.

    Q
    Can I use Dimension 2EW where I keep backyard chickens?
    I saw that Dimension 2EW is not suitable for livestock grazing. I have back yard chickens. I'm assuming it is unsafe for them as well?
    A

    Dimension 2EW should be safe to use around chickens as long as you are following the instructions on the product label.  You would need to keep them out of the area until it dries, typically 3-4 hours.

    08/23/2016
    Q
    What brand of Pre-Emergent do you recommend to control crabgrass on a Zoysia Lawn in central Mississippi?
    Should I wait until the Zoysia is beginning to start sprouting or apply Pre-Emergent while Zoysia is still dormant?
    A

    Dimension 2EW will work great for Crabgrass Pre-emergent in a Zoysia Lawn. Be sure that you make your application in the Spring around Mid-March. As long as the lawn is established it will not matter if the Zoysia is emerged or not. It's best to follow the guidelines listed from your Master gardner in your area for best of application.
