Monterey Spurge Power is not labeled for sandbur nor will it prevent new weeds from germination from seed.
For Warm Season lawns, a post emergent such as Image Kills Nutsedge or Celsius WG can be used when the weeds are actively growing.
For Cool Season lawns, we would recommend Acclaim Extra Herbicide along with a Non Ionic Surfactant for sandbur when it is actively growing.
We recommend using a pre-emergent for field sandbur in the fall, such as Pendulum 2G or Dimension 2EW:Granule.
Timing is very important when applying pre emergent products such as Prodiamine 65 WDG so you want to be sure to apply before the weeds germinate. For the best timing on when to apply both products in your specific region, we would recommend contacting your Master Gardener at your local cooperative extension office.
