Customer Reviews for Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade)

I follow Randy Lemmon's schedule in caring for my St. Augustine (Raleigh) yard. His schedule calls for applying Barricade 3x a year. After several years, the difference along my property line compared to the neighbors is night and day...nearly no weeds at all, just wild Bermuda that we all fight down here.

My Tall Fescue lawn was under heavy attack by poa annua. Frankly, I think it came in from all the fescue seed I bought and laid in the last couple years. I mixed up a recommended solution in a Northstar 16 gal. sprayer w/ electric pump, attached to my lawn tractor and gave my 1/2 acre backyard a treatment last fall, around Sept 15. We had plenty of rain to soak it in. I would say the Prodiamine was 90%+ effective in preventing germination. I did pull about a dozen plants, however, this spring. Also, it must have got about 100% of the "winter weeds" because I don't see any at all, like chickweed. I know it worked because a spot I missed way in the back sprouted a huge crop of poa annua which I will get this fall. Poa is a formidable enemy. My front yard will get the treatment this fall, anytime after Sept 1. (Raleigh area). I put Prodi down in Feb this year on the front lawn to control crabgrass and thus far haven't seen one blade of crabgrass, but it's a bit early yet. This stuff works. Getting the mix right takes a bit of brain power because the instructions are not especially clear.

Used this for the first time spring of 2015. Mixed 4 oz. per 15 gallons in my sprayer. Laid out the yard in 1/4 acre sections using google earth. Have been fighting fox tail for years. After using Prodiamine had no weeds in the treated areas. Didn't do another application in late July like I should have so had some fox tail show up in the fall. In 2016 will do two applications and plan on great results.

I spray 8 acres every winter using this product. It does an outstanding job as a pre-emergent for crab grass and annual blue grass. I tank mix this product with glyophosphate and trimec, my Bermuda turf look great.

This product seems to be doing an excellent job in controlling weed growth in my yard. My Bermuda grass is coming up and so far no sign of weeds.

I came across this product on a Youtube page when doing a search for ridding my lawn of some nasty v-shaped tiny stickers. These things I believe we tracked into our yard from a local park, as we'd see them under our shoes. At first it was a small patch, which within weeks pretty much took over our yards. These were aggravating as they are small and stuck in our carpet and tracked inside under our shoes. I purchased this Prodiamine 65 WDG and sprayed as directed, and within a few weeks I noticed no new weed patched forming. The existing adult weeds, I treated with a store bought weed killer, and managed to clear my yard from this infestation. I've continued using this and have yet to see a return from this pest.

This product was recommended by my son who has used it successfully for years as a pre-emergence for particularly crab grass. I have already applied it to some troublesome areas but it is too early to evaluate the results. However, I expect it will do as claimed, and may add more later as needed. The product is safely packaged and must be used as directed. I dissolved the granules in a spray tank, and they mixed satisfactorily into the water. A small amount will cover quite an area. I have kept my pet away from the areas until they are watered in from rainfall.

This was my first experience with this product - I was concerned about how hard it would be to get it mixed good. I used a small scale to measure .4 oz/K sq ft, very accurate. I used a gallon of cold water out of the faucet into a 5 gallon bucket and used a long paint mixer on cordless drill. It mixed very good just running the water into the bucket, probably didn't even need the paint mixer. I then poured it into a 4 gal backpack sprayer, added Turf Mark Blue and filled with water. With the marking dye, I got very good coverage on the 18,000 sq ft lawn.

Do My Own sent me the jug of QualiPro Prodiamine 65 WDG like the picture shows (except the label is now lime green). Ordered this on Super Bowl Sunday, February 3, 2019. It shipped on Monday. Just received it on Wednesday, February 6, 2019. Fast shipping! This was my first time ordering from Do My Own, but it won't be the last!

Took a while to receive the product. Probably because it's a liquid herbicide chemical. Worked well last year. We'll see about this year. Put it down a month later than last year.

I applied in March at the highest rating, has worked well for preventing the crab grass to this point in May, will know more as we enter the heat of summer. Unfortunately did not stop the spurge, my yard is consumed with spurge.

It is a good product that doesn't stain, and doesn't clog my sprayer's filter too badly.

Received the product in a timely manner. Searched the internet as to how much to mix for my smaller yard. I mixed 2 tablespoons with 4 gallons of water and spread it over 1000 sq. ft. Don't know the results yet because it has not turned cooler yet in my area. Didn't hurt the grass. Hope for the best

The product works very well on crabgrass. I live in central Fl have St. Augustine grass. I used it as a pre-emergent. Be very careful with the amount applied. I think the product should have better directions, but is supposed to be used by professionals which I am not. Professionals are expensive so this is why I tried it. Crabgrass grows 365 days a year in central Fl. I used 2 tsp. in a 2 gallon sprayer. I will continue to use the product. Mostly kills only crabgrass.

Your caution regarding the Prodiamine 65 granulates possibly clogging our tank spreader was right on. We were able to clean the pump, but it was a lot of effort. We are hoping this chemical will reduce the amount of crabgrass so it may be worth it. In the future, we plan to use only liquids in the tank. The delivery of the chemical was excellent, taking only a couple of days. Thanks for your guidance.

This is a good value for my DIY lawn care as I mix what I need and it stores with a small footprint. I also now use it on the community's entrance. Spraying is easier and more precise which I like.

Ok...I give...it doesn't work so well in the hose end sprayer. You have to thin the viscosity too much. then you will have to cover smaller areas with more water. So, use the tank as directed. IT WORKS well to cover. I haven't used it long enough to know if it works to prevent germnation of my pao annua and Dallis grass

I live in New Jersey and sprayed Mid September. This was my first time using Prodiamine. It was easy to pour and mix but, it will leave a yellow coloring inside your spray bottle and hose even after washing it a few times. I can't really say whether it works or not because I just sprayed it. I would highly suggest wearing protection gear while applying. (the yellow coating could end up in your lungs) My yard is roughly 3,000 sqft. I have a 1 Gal sprayer. I mixed 3/4 oz of Prodiamine per 1 Gal and sprayed over a 1000 SF area. I mixed 3 batches over the total 3000 sqft using a total of 2-1/4 oz of Prodiamine and 3 gallons of water. Then I watered the lawn. I plan on doing the same in the late winter early spring. As for DoMyOwn it was easy to order and my package arrived on time. Thank You!

I chose Barricade because that's what my professional lawn care guy used last year. This is a yellow granular solid that mixes easily with water. This container will last me for a long time, I think. Did my first application on my South Carolina Piedmont lawn three weeks ago, so probably is too early to tell how effective its going to be, but no crabgrass yet. Hope it helps with my poa annua when I apply it this fall.

The proof is in the pudding, as they say. A pre-emergent's test is how completely it prevents target grassy weeds, and how long it lasts. It is much too early to judge it on either count. I have used prodiamine for about 15 years in granular form. It works excellently, far exceeding dithiopyr (generic Dimension), or pendimethalin (generic Halts) in lasting qualities. I expect at least the same performance from a liquid app, and since I was able to apply at about 1 1/4 lbs per acre easily, on buffalograss, I should get about 7 months of good pre-emergent protection. It is FAR more economical to use than the granular versions of Prodiamine, which are very pricey. I like the way the product quickly disperses in water. I "cheated" by mixing it with warm water in a gallon jug and shaking it vigorously before adding it to my 60 gallon sprayer. It's bright yellow color makes it easy to check out the thoroughness of mixing in the tank. I combined it with a Trimec broadleaf herbicide for an easy broad spectrum treatment. I will edit my comment this fall for pre-emergent results.

I purchased this product to control Poa Annua in my warm-season bermudagrass. I live in northern South Carolina. Poa germinates in the fall, so following the directions, I applied this to my lawn in October and again in December. This Sring, surprisingly, I have a bumper crop of Poa throughout my lawn. These applications seem to have done nothing, I actually have more Poa than last year. Was my timing off? What could have gone wrong here?

  Expert response:
We apologize you did not achieve the intended results. Some strains of Poa annua are showing resistance to Prodiamine applications. For fall applications we would recommend products with Pendimethalin instead https://www.domyown.com/pendimethalin-c-114_455.html
