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.

Q

How much Dimension 2EW should I use in my 1-gallon container to cover a 220 square foot area?
To provide some background, I live in Phoenix, Arizona and have crushed granite gravel as a ground cover in both front and back yards. I have a 1-gallon battery operated sprayer. I performed a test with water to determine the area the 1-gallon sprayer will dispense. I was only able to cover a 10 x 22 area or 220 square feet before the water ran out. With that said, how much Dimension product should I use per 1-gallon? If my calculations are correct, I should be using .08 to .1 ounce of product. Also, what, if any, is the harm if I used more than the recommended amount?

A

In Arizona, you would generally make two applications of Dimension 2EW Herbicide 5 to 10 weeks apart. We would recommend the Program 2 or 3 rates of 1 oz per 1,000 sq ft and then 1.5 oz per 1,000 sq ft, or 2 applications of 1 oz per 1,000 sq ft each, according to the product label. Be sure that you …

Be sure that you immediately water-in the application with a high volume of water any time there is a barrier like gravel over the ground. This will help get more of the active ingredient down to the soil so that it is not just absorbed into the rocks before it can reach the dirt. (Since this product is still intended to be used around turfgrass and ornamentals, you may not get the same results on a stone area.) At the 1 oz,1000 sq ft rate, you would use 0.22 oz of Dimension 2EW in 1 gallon in your sprayer to cover 220 sq ft.

Q

Can I apply Barricade, and come 1 month latter and apply Dimension for best pre-emergent effect?
Since they have different compositions, can I used the max rate for both, or do you recommend to reduce the rate? Any other recommendation for split treatment ?

A

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 resist…

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.

Q

Would it do any good to apply Dimension 2EW Herbicide this time of year, or is it too late, and I should wait until this spring?
I live in Kansas with Buffalo grass, and we've had several hard freezes so far in October.

Buffalograss is listed on the Dimension 2EW Herbicide product label as tolerable with a note: Do not use this product on seedling buffalograss in the spring of the first year of establishment until the turfgrass is fully green and has established new roots. Dimension 2EW is a pre-emergent her…

Buffalograss is listed on the Dimension 2EW Herbicide product label as tolerable with a note: Do not use this product on seedling buffalograss in the spring of the first year of establishment until the turfgrass is fully green and has established new roots. 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. 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 application timing in your area.

Q

Will Dimension 2EW kill quackgrass?

A

Dimension 2EW Herbicide is a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weeds from germintating so it will not kill existing quackgrass. Unfortunately, there is really nothing that can be done other than spot treating with a Roundup-type product.

Yes, 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 herbicides containing Glyphosate are non-selective, 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.

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.
