What is Dithiopyr?
Dithiopyr is the active ingredient found in the popular pre-emergent heribicide Dimension.  This pre-emergent is effective at preventing the target weed seeds from germinating, and needs to be applied to weeds before they emerge from the ground. Dithiopyr is a popular active ingredient in weed prevention products and is often used to prevent crabgrass from growing in home lawns and yards in the spring.

How does Dithiopyr work?  (Mode of Action)
Dithiopyr controls weeds by disrupting microtubules which are neccessary for plant growth, so essentially the target weeds are not able lto grow.  It is important to make the distinction that pre-emerent herbicides do not destroy weeds entirely but rather prevent growth.  That is why they must be applied annually to retain the desired effects.

Dithiopyr is toxic to fish but non-toxic to birds. Products containing dithiopyr typically will carry instructions to keep the chemical away from water supplies and areas of runoff so as not to contaminate  water.
