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.

Dimension 2EW Herbicide is a pre-emergent herbicide that is labeled for spotted spurge. It will prevent the weed from germinating. If the weed is actively growing, we suggest selective post-emergent control. If you need a recommendation, please provide your desired turf species and size area. Thank you!
Dimension 2EW provides pre-emergence and early post-emergence control of crabgrass, and season-long control of crabgrass, goosegrass, foxtail, spurge and many other grassy and broadleaf weeds.
SpeedZone is an excellent selective post-emergent herbicide for common and troublesome weeds in turfgrass such as spurge, pennywort, dandelion, white clover, and many others. Evidence of injury can be seen within hours of application, and weeds will die in as little as 7 to 14 days.
Dimension herbicide is a pre emergent that targets crabgrass, dandelions and other listed weeds and grasses. You will need .75 - 3.0 pints of Dimension 2EW per acre. The exact amount you will need will be based on what region you are located in and what program you choose. Please refer to page 5 of the Dimension 2EW Herbicide Label for more specific information
According to the Dimension 2EW Herbicide product label, new seed should not be applied for at least 3-4 months after an application.
Dimension is best applied just before temperatures are suitable for weed seed germination. For crabgrass, this is when soil temperatures are about 55 degrees F. You will need to check your local weather forecast for a time when you will have several warm days in a row so that you can apply before that time for best results. You can usually check local soil temperatures online, too. You should not apply Dimension or other pre-emergents if the ground is frozen, if there is snow or ice on the ground, or if the ground is already saturated from rainfall.
Dimension 2EW is a pre-emergent herbicide, so it is best applied before soil temperatures reach those that are optimal for the weeds you are targeting. This is generally before soil temperatures reach 55 degrees in the Spring. You should not apply when there is snow on the ground or temperatures are below freezing. In the Fall, you would want to apply before soil temperatures cool to those favorable for these weeds, usually below 70 degrees. We recommend contacting your local Cooperative Extension for the best recommendation on timing in your area. Over 100 degree weather will be too hot/late to apply a pre-emergent.
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.
Dimension 2EW is not labeled to be used in edible gardens. We do carry the Vegetable & Ornamental Weeder that is safe for that use.
Whether oryzalin or dithiopyr is the best choice for you will depend on what weeds you are targeting, where you need to apply the product, and what price point you are wanting. Dithiopyr, which is the active ingredient in Dimension 2EW Herbicide, is the preferred pre-emergent for crabgrass and also covers a variety of other grassy and broadleaf weeds. Dimension also has the unique quality of offering early post-emergent control of crabgrass. Oryzalin (Surflan) is economical and can be used in some areas where Dimension may not be able to be used. Always be sure to check the product labels for whether the product you want to use is appropriate for your needs and safe to use around your target areas. Please let us know if we can further assist you.
Dimension 2 EW is safe to apply to St Augustine grass. We would not recommend applying to turf that is stressed by heat, frost, or drought. We would also recommend split applications. Please see the rate table on page 5 of the product label for recommended rates for your area.
Barricade and Dimension are actually in the same class of herbicides which means they work with the same mode of action for most of the same weeds and there would be no benefit to using each so close together. It is more recommended to rotate each season between different actives to prevent resistance buildup. Typically Dimension is more recommended in the spring as it is best for crabgrass and has early post emergent control of it as well (in a separate application). Using the max rate in one season would prevent you from using either in the fall which is also a recommended time for pre-emergent applications for winter/spring weeds.
Dimension 2EW Herbicide and fertilizer can be applied at the same time. There is no wait period.
You will need to wait 3 months after applying Dimension 2EW Herbicide to reseed. Or, you can reseed and after you get good growth and have mowed the new grass a minimum of two times you can then do an application of Dimension 2EW Herbicide.
