Timing between the use of pre-emergents and overseeding will depend on the specific product that you are using. Typically you either need to wait until the following season, or at least 12 weeks after applying pre-emergents before you can overseed. Alternatively, most pre-emergents should not be used on newly seeded or overseeded turf until the new grass is well established - typically after the second mowing. Be sure that you always check the product label of what you plan to use for specific timing and other application instructions. For the Pennington Pro Care Crabgrass Control Plus 0.37 Prodiamine 0-0-7, you should not apply this product within 60 days after seeding or until the second mowing, whichever is longer. For seeding, this product will inhibit germination of turf seed if overseeded too soon after application. Please refer to the chart and complete application directions on the product label.

Pennington Pro Care Crabgrass Control Plus .37 Prodiamine 0-0-7 can be applied with a drop spreader.
If your spreader settings go from 1 to 10 (1 letting out the least and 10 letting out the most) you typically want to be around a 3 setting. If your spreader goes from 1 to 20, you should probably be around a 6 or 7 setting. The goal is to just run out of product when you are done walking the 1000 square feet. One person may walk faster than someone else, so they may place It on a higher setting than someone that walks slower.
Almost all fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, etc have treatments in amounts of so much product per 1000 square feet. So if you can figure out what your walking speed is then you know anytime you apply any product that calls for so much of it per 1000 square feet, you always set your spreader on this setting. You can calibrate this by marking off a 1000 square foot (10 x 100) area and placing 4 ounces of any type of product of similar granule size, or of the extinguish in the spreader. Start with a low setting and start walking your marked off area at a normal pace. You can adjust as you go and find the basic setting for you to apply the product over a 1000 square feet.
For all fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides on the market you will need to calibrate your spreader for the product being used if your spreader type is not on the label. Everyone's spreader style and walk speed will be different, so it's important to test and adjust your spreader with each item you use to ensure you get the desired results without any undesired effects.
