    Q
    Can I apply dimension at the same time as broadleaf weed killer 2, 4 D?
    A
    Dimension 2EW is a pre-emergent and an early post-emergent for different weeds. This should be used before the weeds emergence and for early emergence of others. The Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer is a post emergent. This means it is used when the weeds have already emerged. Using them together will not effective.

    Q
    I have Surflan - it works on a lot in my landscaping, but dandelions and thistles are driving me crazy. Does Dimension handle them and if not what do you suggest?
    A
    Dimension 2EW is also a pre-emergent herbicide like Surflan. Dimension 2EW is not specifically labeled for thistles and dandelion. Please click on the link for more information on treating these. If they are actively growing, you will want to apply a selective post-emergent herbicide. Battleship III is our most popular selective herbicide. The advanced "three-way" formulation contains Triclopyr, Fluroxypyr and MCPA in an easy-to-use liquid formulation. Battleship III controls annual and perennial broadleaf weeds including Dandelion, Chickweed, Black Medic, Knotweed, Plantain, Oxalis, Clover, Cocklebur, Thistle and many other species. Please refer to the product label to ensure it is safe to apply to your species of turfgrass.

  • Asked by Robert from Shelby, Nc
    07/30/2014
    Q
    How soon can you reseed Fescue after using Dimension 2EW Herbicide
    A

    After application of Dimension 2EW Herbicide, you can reseed 3-4 months after application. Per label:

    Reseeding, Overseeding, or Sprigging
    Reseeding, overseeding, or sprigging of treated areas within 3 months after a single application of this product, or within 4 months after a split application program totaling more than 0.73 oz per 1000 sq ft (2 pints per acre), may inhibit the establishment of desirable turfgrasses.
    Late Summer or Fall Application:
    This product can also be applied in the late summer or early fall (late August through November) at the Program 3 use rates listed in the table below. A fall application followed
    by an appropriately timed spring application provides season-long weed control. Do not exceed the maximum use rate per year. For Poa annua control see Section titled “Poa annua (Annual Bluegrass) Control” below.
    Program 3:
    Use Program 3 for preemergence control in turf: (a) where turfgrass is cut relatively low (e.g., golf fairways); and (b) where turf maintenance or weed control was not conducted during the previous year.This program provides 4 to 6 months of preemergence crabgrass control and may also be used for early postemergence control up to crabgrass tillering at sites where turfgrass is cut relatively low (e.g., golf fairways). Make subsequent, sequential pre and/or postemergence applications where longer periods of control are desired. Split applications may also be made, with the rates in the Use Rates table being split across two
    applications made 5 to 10 weeks apart. Split applications may provide improved weed control.
    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    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.

    Q
    In Indiana, what best time use Dimension to control speedwell and chickweed in bluegrass lawn?
    A

    Pre-emergents like Dimension 2EW should be used before the weeds germinate in the fall time. We would recommend checking with a local master gardener in your area to give you an exact time. Here is the link:

  • Asked by Shane from South Carolina
    09/09/2014
    Q
    Can I spray Dimension 2EW as a pre-emergent in January and overseed my lawn in April?
    I live in the "inner coastal zone" of South Carolina. The only weed problem I am battling is crabgrass. I plan on aerating early April and overseeding my existing lawn followed by fertilizing. My only concern is, if I spray Dimension 2EW in early January as a pre-emergent will it affect my overseeding and will it be effective in controlling early crabgrass?
    A
    Yes, you can apply Dimension 2EW in January and then overseed in April as long as you wait a full 90 days between treatments. Overseeding of treated areas within 3 months after a single application of Dimension 2EW, or within 4 months after a split application program may inhibit the establishment of desirable turfgrass.

  • Asked by Hank from Lenoir, Nc
    10/29/2014
    Q
    If I used Dimension in early spring, when can I apply grass seed to fill in some spots where needed?
    A
    Since Dimension 2EW is a pre-emergent, you have to wait at least 3 to 4 months before re-seeding your lawn.  Pre-emergents of course will not allow anything trying to germinate to progress, so the grass seeds will not germinate until the Dimension 2EW is gone from the lawn.

  • Asked by Randy from Jacksonville, Fl

    Q
    If I plan to resod and entire lawn with St. Augustine how long after application of Dimension must I wait to
    lay down the new sod? Last season the lawn was destroyed as a rental and was heavily covered with mature crabgrass and has been so for two seasons. Currently it is bare dirt and in the process of tilling in Black Cow for nutrient value. I would like to get the grass down as soon as possible. What are your recommendations? Would it be best to just get the sod down, and treat next dormant season after the lawn is established and hope for the best?
    A
     Dimension 2EW is not labeled for residential lawns prior to plugging or sodding for pre-emergent control. It would be best for you to put the sod down first and then use a pre-emergent next year.

  • Asked by David from Grosse Tete La
    01/17/2015
    Q
    Looking for a weed killer
    I'm looking for a weed killer for crab grass (stickers) and clover without hurting my ST Augustine grass. I have these stickers everywhere in my good grass.
    A

    Unfortunately their is not a selective product that will remove crabgrass from St. Augustine.  St. Augustine is a very fragile grass, and so most selective products that are labeled to remove crabgrass and not your real grass, will hurt the St. Augustine.  It is recommended to kill the crabgrass with a round up type product, like Ranger Pro, which will also kill just the St. Augustine around the crabgrass that it is sprayed on, and then a couple weeks later re-seed those areas with new St. Augustine. 

    Image 70 DG is labeled for the sandbur and white clover as well as crabgrass suppression though.

    For long term control though, you should apply a pre-emergent in the late fall and early spring which will prevent new crabgrass from coming up next year.  If you apply pre-emergent every year, you should not have issues with crabgrass long term.  Dimension 2EW is one of our most popular pre-emergents for crabgrass.  Dimension would also be good for the clover and stickers.

    Q
    Dimension 2EW and Gallery 75 DF mixing instructions
    I am going to mix both Dimension 2EW and Gallery 75 DF in a Chapin 61900 backpack sprayer and use on my Houston, Tx St Augustine grass. I am following 2EW program 1 - 0.55oz and I think if I am reading correctly 0.50oz of Gallery 75 per 1000 sqft. (that sure does not like much at all). Do I use the recommended amounts from both labels since I am mixing the 2 together? Also after the I apply this on Feb 1 how soon can I reapply again? I have crabgrass, clover and spurge in my yard.
    A

    Yes, you will mix the amounts as specified on the label. It does not sound like a lot, but it is enough product to treat the area in at least two gallons of water.

    Re-applications and timing will depend specifically on what program you choose to use. Please review page 4 of the product label to determine the program that will best suit your needs for Dimension 2EW. The same will go with Gallery 75.

    According to the Dimension 2EW Herbicide label, new sod should not be applied for at least 3 months. Once the sod has been put down, it needs to be established for at least 6 months before applying Dimension 2EW Herbicide again.

    Q
    How long do we need to wait to apply new St. Augustine sod after an application?
    I am in Jacksonville Florida and I just applied dimension to an apartment complex that has ST. Augustine grass. They are planning to put down some sod around April in some of the areas will that be ok or do they have to wait longer to put down the sod.
    A
    You will need to wait at least 3 months after the application of Dimension 2EW Herbicide. To be on the safe side, we would recommend waiting until May to put the sod down.

  • Asked by Jeff from Phx Az

    Q
    Dimension in Phx AZ
    Each summer I have a crab grass battle. My lawn is over seeded with perennial rye in the winter, and is bermuda in the summer. Based on the Q&A, it seems as though applying Dimension now (Feb,) will kill my existing rye prior to the bermuda coming in (late April/May). If I were to wait until April/May, would it still be effective as a pre-emergent? It seems like crab grass would already be getting a foothold by then.
    A
    Dimension 2EW needs to be applied before the seeds germinate in order for it to work properly. It is also labeled for early post emergence of crabgrass. It will likely not work as effectively if it is put down in April/May if the crabgrass is already out. We would recommend following the rule of thumb and putting the product down in early to mid February.
