    Q
    What month should this be applied in south eastern NC?
    A

    Ferti-lome St. Augustine Weed and Feed 15-0-4 should be applied in early spring to prevent crabgrass, paspalum, spotted spurge, and sedge; and then again in the fall to avoid winter weeds like evening primrose, rabbit tobacco, henbit, and chickweed.  Typically you would want to apply your fall pre-emergent by September 15th.The general rule is to apply your pre-emergent herbicide treatment after the ground has thawed from the winter but before the temperature of your soil reaches 55 degrees, as that is when crabgrass begins to germinate. Other weeds will germinate when the soil temperature is between 55 and 65 degrees. You can use a soil thermometer to determine the temperature of your lawn/area. You will want to measure the temperature of the soil a few inches below ground.

    You may contact your local cooperative extension office to determine the correct timing of the application as this will vary greatly from region to region or search online for best time to apply in (your area).  A lot of universities have great articles for this.

    Q
    Will Ferti-lome St. Augustine Weed and Feed 15-0-4 kill bermudagrass without injuring the St. Augustine?
    A

    Ferti-lome St. Augustine Weed and Feed 15-0-4 could injure bermudagrasa and cool season turfgrasses since it is only labeled for St. Augustine & Centipede lawns however, we cannot guarantee the full effects it would have on bermuda.

    Bermudagrass is difficult to eliminate due to how quickly and how far out the roots spread. The most common method to kill bermudagrass in St. Augustine would be spot treating bermudagrass when actively growing or in transition in/out of dormancy with a non selective such as Roundup QuikPRO. Any bare spots in the lawn can be reseeded after 2 weeks.
