Q

When is the best time to apply Tenacity?
If I were to apply Prodiamine now (end of March), would that prevent crabgrass germination not expected until May as well as allow me to overseed four months from now (end of July)? Or would it be more effective as a crabgrass control if it were applied closer to expected germination season?

A

Tenacity Herbicide should be applied before soil temperatures reach 55 degrees if using as a pre-emergent. If as a post you would apply when the target weeds are actively growing and healthy. When used at the lowest rates, you can overseed beginning 4 months after application of Prodiamine 65…

It says Resolute is cheaper, but it's not. What's the difference between the two?

A

We apologize, with market pricing the price does fluctuate. Thank you for bringing this to our attention as we are updating our site. The difference is that Prodiamine is considered the generic.

Nutsedge is a summer weed that is hard to control using a pre emergent such as Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade). Nutsedge is controlled after emergence in cool and warm season turf grasses such as St. Augustinegrass, Bermudagrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, tall and fine fescue, and perennial ryegrass. Sedgehammer is considered one of the more "gentle to turfgrass" products and the most widely used for controlling both yellow and purple nutsedge.

Getting a late winter/early spring snow. Can Prodiamine be laid down before a Snow Storm in lieu of watering in?

Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade) would be just as effective as the Barricade 65WDG. They just have different manufacturers, otherwise the active ingredients and instructions are the same. Pricing can vary on products as after the patent on a product expires other companies can then manufacturer the product and do not have to charge as much since the research, patents, marketing etc. was already done by the original manufacturer. You can think of it as the "brand" vs "generic".

Prodiamine 65 is a great crabgrass and general broadleaf weed preventative product. For crabgrass your main application for prevention will be in the spring when it germinates. You are welcome to do a fall application now for other weeds, too, but you will want to get it down before Oct 1st, ideally, in our southern region. Keep in mind that pre-emergents will not do anything to the crabgrass currently growing in your lawn: you would need a post-emergent product for eliminating those.
