Details

Weeds Controlled or Suppressed:

Annual Bluegrass (Poa annua), Chickweed (Commonand Mouseear), Crabgrass (suppression only), Cransbill, Cudweed, Dichondra, Florida Betony, Henbit, Knotweed, Lespedeza, Moneywort, Mustards, Narrowleaf Vetch, Parsley-Piert, Pennywort (Dollarweed), Sandspur, Smutgrass, Spurge, Spurweed, Swinecrest, Woodsorrel and various annual clovers.

Established St. Augustinegrass and Centipedegrass:

This may be applied during both dormant and growing seasons. Best results are usually obtained when applied in early Spring or dormant periods when weeds are small or have not emerged. Do not apply more than two treatments per year. This controls Spurweed, Florida Betony, Annual Bluegrass and many other problem weeds in St. Augustinegrass and Centipedegrass turfs. This will control both emerged weeds and weeds from seeds. Rain or water within 2 or 3 days of application may decrease the effectiveness on emerged weeds. However, for the control of weeds from seeds, rainfallor watering is necessary within 7 to 10 days after treatment.

Spurweed:

Control of Spurweed can best be obtained by applying when Spurweed has newly emerged(December and January.)

Florida Betony:

This weed emerges in the Fall. Apply this product in mid to late October followed by a second application in mid to late February.

Dichondra, Moneywort:

Apply this product in early April followed by a second applicationin July. Note: Applications for Spurweed or Florida Betony generally will give control or suppression of the other listed weeds. However, as a general rule, this product will give best control when applied to young tender weeds or just prior to weed emergence.

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Atrazine, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to https://www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

    Trying to kill Pennywort

    By Gary on 05/30/2012

    Verified Purchase

    I sprayed the Atrazine as directed and it didnt kill the Pennywort. I waited a week and a half and sprayed some areas again and also some new areas. After another 2 weeks and a couple of rains I noticed some of the Pennywort was dead, but much of the grass around the sprayed areas was dead as well. In general, it killed more grass than Pennywort.

    Atrazine

    By John on 12/29/2014

    Verified Purchase

    Doesn't seem to be working so well. Thought it worked on st. Augustine grass. weeds are still there and don't seem to be dying

    Expert ResponseExpert response:
    It will be tough to use almost any post-emergent herbicide this time of year. Atrazine will provide the best control when weeds are young or just prior to weed emergence. If the weeds are not actively growing, then you will see limited results.

    Really a weed killer

    By Andres on 02/04/2015

    Verified Purchase

    After fighting with a pest control service for months without results, and my front grass getting worse, I decide to try Atrazine which they said they wouldn't apply. It worked nicely and even in the winter months I cant see any sign of getting back in the weeds. I took my pest control in my own hands and I hope to use many more products as time goes by.

Q
I am trying to kill crabgrass in my centipede lawn will Hi-Yield Atrazine Weed Killer kill it?
A

Hi-Yield Atrazine Weed Killer will suppress crabgrass, but it may not completely control it with one application, it can take multiple treatments. The best time to treat for post-emergent control is when the weeds are young and actively growing, usually when temperatures are between about 55 and 85 degrees. Please refer to the product label for a complete list of plants controlled and for full application directions. You will want to apply spring and fall pre-emergent herbicide applications to prevent many broadleaf and grassy weeds from germinating. Here is a great article on crabgrass treatment and prevention as well as one for centipede turf care.
