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!
We would recommend Dimension 2EW for pre-emergent control but also consulting with your local extension office in your county for advisement on a fertilizer and weed control program.

Yes, if you are spraying a bare ground area or and area where no desirable vegetation is currently present you can apply Dimension 2EW and RoundUp. 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. Please read each label for complete mixing and application instructions.
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 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.
We do not recommend mixing any type of paint with Dimension 2EW Herbicide. We do sell several varieties of spray indicators which are safe to use with herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides on your turf. Our most popular choice is Turf Mark Blue.
Dimension 2EW Herbicide can be applied as a single application, a split application or a sequential application in the spring, summer or fall. Please refer to the product label for timing between applications and rates to use depending on the program you wish to follow.

Dimension 2EW Herbicide may lose it's effectiveness after being frozen repeatedly. If it has separated it would be best to replace. It should be stored in a cool, dry place out of extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Dimension 2EW Herbicide can be used if has been stored in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures during the one year.
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.
Dimension 2EW is safe to use on or around juniper when used as directed on the product label.
The Dimension 2EW Herbicide label does state for crabgrass control, the use of a non-ionic surfactant may improve results.
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.
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.
Dimension 2EW Herbicide will stay in the soil up to two years. It will be unsafe for the animals to graze until after the Dimension has left the soil.
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.
