Prodiamine 65 WDG is manufactured by Quali-Pro, which is located in Texas.
According to the manufacturer, St. Augustine can be plugged 90 days after the application of Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade).
One 5 lb. jug of Prodiamine 65 WDG will treat up to 5 acres depending on the rate used.
If you were spot treating on your St. Augustine with Atrazine as a post-emergent herbicide, then it should be fine to apply the Prodiamine anytime after that application. If, however, you were applying the Atrazine as a blanket application as a pre-emergent, then you would not need to use another pre-emergent right away.
Since the rate of 0.55 oz per 1000 sq ft is equal to the rate of 1.5 lbs per Acre for Prodiamine 65 WDG, then yes, we do recommend that you wait the labeled interval before reseeding. Unfortunately, there is not an easy way to know how much soil residue would be left of the product, and we would not want you to waste your seed.
You can typically apply a pre emergent such as Prodiamine 65 WDG the same day or the following day as a fertilizer application as long as they do not have competing use instructions regarding watering in after treatment and they do not contain the same active ingredient as a pree-emergent.
No, Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade) is not labeled to control moss. Please take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Moss Guide for more information and helpful tips.
Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade) cannot be used anywhere that you plan to plant edibles. We do carry the Hi-Yield Herbicide Granules or Monterey Vegetable & Ornamental Weeder that can be used around the listed vegetables on their respective product labels. Prowl is another option for larger areas.
Since Prodiamine 65 WDG is not labeled for use where animals graze or around animal facilities, we would not recommend using this product on feed hay. We would recommend waiting at least one year before allowing animals to graze in areas treated with this product. You may consider Prowl H2O Herbicide as a pre-emergent for foxtail in established pastures.
Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade) is safe for dog as long as it is used as directed. Dogs do need to be kept out of the area while the product is being applied, but can be allowed to re-enter the area once the product is dry (usually within a few hours).
Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade) is not a granular insecticide and must be mixed wiith water and applied using a handpump or backpack sprayer using a sufficient amount of water to evenly and thoroughly distribute the recommended mix rate per the product label per 1000 sq ft area. Once the application has dried, it is safe for pets to re enter the treated area. Pre-emergents need to be applied when soil temps reach 55 to 65 degrees. For the most accurate timing of when to apply pre-emegents in your area, view our Lawn Care Schedule or contact your Cooperative Extension Office for their recommendations.
Prodiamine 65 WDG is a pre-emergent herbicide that must be applied before the seedlings begin to germinate, in order to be effective. For Poa Annua, we recommend doing a pre-emergent application in the fall, in order to prevent the weed from actively growing in the spring. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions, and use as directed.
Poa annua is a winter annual weed that germinates in the fall and flowers in the spring, then dies as the temperatures rise in the late spring, early summer. In North Carolina, about 80% of poa annua germinates in a 60-day window from September 1 to October 30.
Please review our Poa Annua Treatment Guide for more infromation and recommendations on treatment.
The application rate for Prodiamine 65 WDG depend on the type of turfgrass you have. Please refer to the Rate Chart on page 9 of the product label for the recommended rate for your lawn.
Water is only acting as the carrier to distribute the active ingredient and the water volume can vary with each persons application and their specific lawn. It is important to know the water volume you need to cover 1000 sq ft for effective results with herbicides. To decide how much water you want to use, mark off a 1,000 sq ft area (50ft x 20 ft), fill your sprayer with water ONLY, and start walking and spraying just as if you were doing the actual application of herbicide. When you are done walking and spraying the 1,000 sq ft area note how much water it took you to spray that area (1 gallon, 1.5 or 2 gallons of water). This is the amount of water you will mix the labeled rate per 1000 sq ft for your turfgrass.View our How to Calibrate Your Sprayer HERE for a more detailed explanation.
People and pets should be removed from the area when applying Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade). Once the treated area has completely dried, it is then safe for people and pets to re-enter that area. Generally this could be between 4-6 hours, but it will depend on various factors.
The best and longest-lasting pre-emergent herbicide to use around areas like a gravel driveway where you do not want any plants to grow would be a vegetation management product like Martin's TVC Total Vegetation Management. This product will prevent any plant growth in those areas for up to 1 year. Just be sure not to apply in a way that would run off or contact the roots of desirable plants/turf since this product last for so long. If you have existing weeds in the gravel areas, then you can use RoundUp QuikPro to spot-treat and kill any existing plants.
Both Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade) & Barricade 4FL Pre-Emergent Herbicide (Prodiamine) are prodiamine-based pre-emergents. They are made by different manufacturers. It is not uncommon for each manufacturer to have their own version of a pre-emergent with the same active ingredients.
Prodiamine 65 WDG is safe when used as directed around ornamental plantings. It is only a pre-emergent, used to prevent weeds emerging. It will not kill anything that is actively growing. It should not be applied over the top of newly planted ornamental plants but should be fine for established plants. Per the product label, should be safe around your junipers. Please refer to the product label for use rates and complete application instructions.
Prodiamine 65 WDG should only be applied to established St. Augustine. It is only labeled for newly plugged Bermuda. Please contact us at 866-581-7378 M-F 9-5 PM for an alternative product recommendation.
Normally if you choose to use a pre-emergent you cannot seed within several months of the application. Per the Prodiamine Product Label: To reduce the potential to injure overseeded turf, wait 60 days after seeding or until after the second mowing, whichever is longer, before applying Quali-Pro Prodiamine 65 WDG.
When to Overseed After Application (All States)* Quali-Pro Prodiamine 65 WDG will inhibit the development of turfgrass species overseeded too soon after application. Follow rates and intervals in the table below for best overseeding/reseeding results
When used at the lowest rates, it starts at 4 months after application that you can overseed.
Yes, that should be fine to mix your pre-emergent like Prodiamine with a post-emergent like Battleship. Just be sure that you are using the correct rates for your turfgrass and for the area that you are treating, and that the pre-emergent is activated within 14 days of application. You may want to do a small jar test for compatability if it is your first time mixing these two products together.
