A pre-emergent herbicide such as Pendulum Aqua Cap would help with prevention but will not treat actively growing Japanese Stiltgrass. We would suggest a selective post-emergent such as Acclaim.

Please refer to product label for specific applications to your turfgrass.

Pendulum 2G Granular Herbicide will inhibit grass seed germination therefore should be applied at the same time as planting new grass seed or overseeding. This pre emergent should only be used on well-established turf grass with a dense and uniform stand.
Per the product label, when applying on newly planted areas, application should not be made until the turf grass has filled in and has been mowed at least four times. On turf that has been thinned or damaged due to winter injury, excessive moisture, etc., allow for turf recovery prior to making an application.
Delay reseeding or winter overseeding of treated turf grass for at least 3 months following the last Pendulum 2G application.
In spring, pre emergents should be applied when soil temperatures are around or just under 55 degrees (February/March). Fall applications should be applied when soil temps drop below 70 degrees but before the first frost of the season(Septemeber or November).
For exact timing recommendations in your area, we would suggest contacting the Master Gardener with the County Cooperative Extension office as they will be able to give you an exact time frame for applying this product in your area.
Unfortunately, we do not have the spreader settings for Pendulum 2G Granular Herbicide, and your spreader and the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates. You can see a short video on how to accomplish this below.
Please view our video on How to Calibrate your Spreader for more information.

Unfortunately, we do not have the spreader settings for that specific combo, and since the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag we are unsure what the exact setting would be. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, there isn't a master list that exists. You may want to try calling the manufacturer of your spreader or the chemical itself directly, to see if anyone on their staff has that info. Otherwise, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates. Please take a moment to view our video on How to Calibrate Your Spreader HERE.

If your spreader is not listed on the product label and due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates.

Pendulum 2G Granular Herbicide can only be applied to established landscpe beds with tolerant plants and ornamentals listed on the product label. It is recommended to wait 3 months before seeding or planting any new seed or plants in the treated areas.
The product label does not list bluestem or switch grasses as a tolerant plant or ornamental therefore we cannot guarantee that this application would be safe. It is recommended to test a small area of the not listed plants and observing the plants for 1 to 2 months for possible injury.
We also recommend consulting with a Master Gardener in your area for recommendations on what is safe to use.
