  • Asked by Arely from Enid, Oklahoma
    03/29/2020
    Q
    How much solution of Ike' Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer is added per gallon of water?
    A

    How much water you will use to apply a pre-emergent herbicide like kes Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer is not as important as using the correct amount of herbicide per 1000 sq/ft per the product label. This is going to be watered into the soil to be activated as well. Depending on your turf type and instructions on the Product Label, you can use 1.1 to 1.6 fl oz per 1000 sq ft you are treating for most applications.

    We have a video here to help you with calibrating your sprayer if needed.

  • Asked by Mark from Lumberton, Nc
    07/06/2021
    Q
    Can Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer be applied in the summer?
    A

    Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer is best applied by itself in early spring and late fall to prevent weeds from germinating but can also be tank mixed with post emergent herbicides when weeds are actively growing. Per the product label, the efficacy of Sandbur & Crabgrass Preventer will be best if the application is followed by one-half inch of rainfall or its equivalent in sprinkler irrigation. If Sandbur & Crabgrass Preventer is not activated by rainfall or irrigation within 30 days, weed control may be erratic.

  • Asked by Robert from North Fla
    06/08/2022
    Q
    Will Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer work during the warmer months when weeds are actively growing?
    We are pulling weeds up by the roots.
    A
    Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer works only as a pre emergent to prevent weeds from germinating. Pre emergents need to be applied at the correct time in early spring and in late fall for best results. In spring, apply when soil temps rise to 55 degrees and in late fall, apply when soil temps drop down to 70 degrees and continue to drop. Once weeds are actively growing during the summer/warmer months, a post emergent should be used to treat actively growing weeds. 

    In states where soil temps stay warm pretty much year round like Florida, residents use pre emergents on a quarterly basis due to the warmer climate and extended growing seasons. Pre emergent applications during summer months will not harm your turf, we just cannot guarantee any preventative results.

    If you need to control existing crabgrass in a warm season lawn such as bermuda, centipede, zoysia, or st augustine, you can use a product like Blindside WDG as a spot spray or broadcast application over the lawn.
