  • Asked by Raymond from Fairfield, Vt

    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
    Is runoff from Dimension 2EW Herbicide toxic to horses?
    Need something to kill the grass before it comes up this year that will not harm the horses. Any suggestions?
    A

    Dimension 2EW Herbicide is not labeled to be used in areas animals would graze so we cannot recommend it be used in the area.  We actually do not have any pre-emergents for grassy weeds in pastures and would recommend contacting your local department of ag for assistance identifying the target weed and for a product recommendation.  We can then see if we can get the product.

  • Asked by Philip from Frederick, Md

    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.

    Q
    What is the best Pre Emergent for crabgrass control in Fescue lawn?
    A

    Dimension 2EW Herbicide is going to be the best pre emergent product when controlling crabgrass. It is labeled to be used in Fescue lawns and can even be applied at a ratio to work as a post emergent.You will use .28-.73 fl oz. per 1000 sq. feet or .75-2 pints per acre. For your 2.5 acre property, 1.875-5 pints will be used to cover the entire area. Please read label for further instruction.

  • Asked by Chris from Minnesota
    04/15/2015
    Q
    Can Dimension be mixed with Drive XLR8?
    I live in Minnesota and have a crab grass issue. Can I mix Dimension and Drive and apply at the same time? Also, would a surfactant be beneficial to use or even possible with the combination?
    A
    As long as you do a tank mix test first to ensure no clumping or adverse effects occur in tank, you can mix both products together to acheive both pre and post emergent control of crabgrass. Since the Drive XLR8 requires the use of a surfactant you can mix that into the tank as well.

    Q
    Is Dimension 2EW Herbicide considered pet safe?
    A

    Dimension 2EW is safe for pets when used correctly. You would want to keep pets out of the treated area while you perform your application and allow it to dry completely. Once fully dry, it is safe for pets to re-enter the treated area.

  • Asked by John from Albany, Ny
    05/01/2018
    Q
    Can I still dethatch after my lawn service applied Dimension before I could do it?
    A

    It is always best to perform any type of maintenance such as dethatching before you put down a pre-emergent like Dimension so that you do not interrupt the barrier and, therefore, get inconsistent weed control. You could potentially dethatch with a hand rake after watering in the Dimension application with at least 1/2 inch of water. Allow that watering to dry completely before dethatching.

    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.

  • Asked by Kevin from Goldsboro, Nc
    07/02/2013
    Q
    For Mid-Atlantic Region (NC), what is the best time of year to spray for Annual Bluegrass with Dimension 2EW?
    A
    For pre-emergent control of Annual Bluegrass you will normally treat 2-3 times to fully control it throughout the year. For Southern zones like NC, you would do a fall application by Oct 1st and for spring you would do a second application between February and March 15th at the latest. Dimension will only control Annual Bluegrass as a pre-emergent so you will need to make sure the area is free of the currently growing vegetation. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by James from Indian Trail, Nc
    03/23/2018
    Q
    How many weeks apart can I re-apply Dimension 2EW Herbicide?
    Should I do Tenacity now? I applied Dimension 3 weeks ago and its working, getting warm here though and worried crabgrass will get started again. I got a few other weeds. Can I use Tenacity and Dimension 2EW now together at the same time?
    A

    Whether and when you reapply Dimension will depend some on what rate you used when you first applied it. It is possible to do a split application of Dimension, which is usually done with the applications 6-8 weeks apart in Spring. Just be sure that you are not exceeding the maximum application and/or annual label rates for your area and type of turf grass. The rate you used will also affect how long the product lasts in the soil. You can use Tenacity after using Dimension since it is a different active ingredient. Be sure you are always following the label rates for your turfgrass and following any other label precautions. Please let us know if you have other questions.

  • Asked by Steve from Milton, Fl
    08/18/2015
    Q
    What weed killer and/or pre-emergent herbicide can I use on Centipede/St Augustine lawn?
    I have a slew of various weeds in my lawn which consists mostly of Centipede grass but has some St. Augustine. I live in the Florida panhandle. Lawn weed killers sold at big box stores seem to have little effect and are cost prohibitive for large areas such as a 100' x 150' lawn. What active weed killer(s) and/or pre-emergent herbicides would you recommend? And, in the case of pre-emergent herbicides, when should they be applied? The list of weeds controlled by your Snapshot product seems to cover the gamut, but I cannot see where it can be used on Centipede/St. Augustine lawns. Thanks.
    A

    SnapShot 2.5 TG is not labeled to be used on lawns at all and would not be recommended.  Dimension 2EW is our most popular pre-emergent herbicide for both grassy and broadleaf weeds and can be used on both St. Augustine and Centipede lawns.  For Southern zones like FL, you would do a fall application by Oct 1st and for spring you would do a second application between February and March 15th at the latest.   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.  Tenacity or Atrazine would be good post emergent herbicides for your lawn type.

  • Asked by Shea from Weatherford, Tx
    02/18/2018
    Q
    When can I plant grass or lay sod after my second application of Dimension 2EW?
    So our new backyard is a mess, dirt and weeds. So I plan to do the first application first of March. Then I understand to do the second application by mid-June. Grass burrs are bad as well as the rest but more so the grass burrs. Do I need to wait another three months to lay Bermuda or St. Augustine sod or Bermuda seed? Thank you!
    A

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

    Q
    Can be Dimension be mixed with other herbicides for more control?
    I am considering Dimension 2EW for crabgrass. Is there a second weed control that I should consider using for other weeds?
    A

    Dimension 2EW Herbicide 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. Remember  to follow the more restrictive label directions.

  • Asked by Dennis from Glenwood, Ia
    01/31/2017
    Q
    I am trying to control crabgrass in Iowa. What should the ground temp be in spring to apply Dimension 2W?
    A

    Crabgrass seeds begin to germinate when soil temperatures reach 55 to 60 F and continue to germinate over several weeks from spring into summer. Pre-emergent herbicides such as Dimension 2EW normally should be applied in early to mid-April in southern Iowa, mid-April to May 1 in central Iowa and late April to early May in the northern portion of the state.  Pre-emergent herbicides should be applied when the forsythia blossoms start dropping or when redbud trees begin to bloom.  I found a great article here by Iowa State that further explains.
