    Q
    Use on residental grass
    Is the yellow in Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer a dye or one of the active ingredients? If used on a residential lawn at 4 pints per acre how soon can it be walked on?
    A

    The SDS for Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer lists a yellow-orange appearance. Most Pendimethalin products do have a similar color and advise to avoid staining unwanted areas. The product will not to show up on the grass as an indicator dye. Allow treated turfgrass to dry before entering to avoid staining onto non-treated surfaces.

    Q
    Why can only TX, AR, and LA use Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer?

    07/31/2021
    Q
    How much mixed liquid of Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer is used per 1000 sqft?
    Since you won't give how much liquid is added per gallon but you did give how much you add per 1000sqft how much liquid is to be sprayed per 1000sqft
    A

    The amount of water you use per 1,000 square feet will really depend on your walking pace, your height and the type of equipment you're using when applying Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer.  The rate of Ikes you use depends on the turfgrass type and program you are following.  Complete instructions on the label.

    We recommend calibrating your sprayer to figure out the amount of water you'll need to use, we have a video that can help you with this proces.

  • Asked by Carol from Luverne
    09/05/2021
    Q
    Is Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer effective as a fall application to control weeds for the following spring/summer season?
    A

    A fall application of Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer is recommended to help prevent the germination of winter weeds and to get an early start on preventing weeds for spring. Fall pre emergent applications will not stop weeds from germinating all spring and into summer therefore you would need to apply a pre emergent again in early spring when soil temps are just under 55 degrees to best prevent spring/summer weeds.

    Please view our Lawn Care Schedule Calendar and Lawn Guides for more information.

  • Asked by Ed from Myrtle Beach, Sc
    09/21/2021
    Q
    When is the best time to apply Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer?
    A

    Preemergents such as Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer are applied in the fall and spring. We suggest contacting your county extension office for specific timing in your area. 

    The general rule for spring 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.

    The ideal time to apply a fall pre-emergent herbicide to your yard is between August and November when the soil temperature is below 70 degrees and dropping.

  • Asked by Janis from North Port
    12/16/2021
    Q
    Can Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer be used to control Florida Pusley in a Southwest Florida possibly bahiagrass or bermudagrass lawn?
    A

    Ike's Sandbur and Crabgrass Preventer is labeled for warm season turfgrasses such as bahiagrass and bermudagrass for pre emergent control of Floria Pusley and other listed weeds. Being a pre emergent, this product will not control weeds once they are actively growing and should be applied in early spring and late fall for best results.

    For post emergent control of actively growing Florida Pusley and other broadleaf weeds, Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone would be recommended and safe for bahia and bermuda.

    View the product label for more information and our Warm Season Lawn Care Calendar for general timing recommendations.
