I didn't get the Prodiamine 65 until mid February and managed to use it on my lawn shortly after receiving it. I think it is having an affect on some of the weeds that pop up a bit later but it doesn't seem to do much for the ones already established this season; but I am hoping to get some results from using it in the fall to fight the terrible cool season weeds we have down here. I will soon be using Blindside for my yearly crabgrass battle and to see if it will help with some of the weeds, especially poa annua, that got started before I used the Prodiamine 65. I am just waiting to see the first crabgrass popping up but so far none has been visible to me so maybe the Prodiamine has done some suppression of it. That would be a great start in fighting the annual crabgrass explosion.

Ordered this Herbicide based on my next door neighbors suggestion. I mixed three cap fulls of the Prodiamine with .4 ounces of Fahrenheit into a 4 gallon sprayer, not certain if this amount in 4 gallons was appropriate but is what I got from the directions for use. After two weeks the broad-leaf weeds and a variety of other weeds did not die as I thought they would. The neighbors yard is weed free after application. Please advise if I should do something different. Thanks

Just put it down last week. Hope it works for the gearheads. Or as the more sophisticated call it puncture vine.

Perhaps I waited until the soil was too warm. Not at the 50

I love "do my own" company. and when they recommend something, 99.99% of the time you can take to the bank. this product is too hard to use and if you mix it to strong, it will kill your grass. two teaspoons per 1000 sq feet. or 0.185-0.55 oz per 1,000 sq ft. the amount of water does not matter. question for everyone??? who is going to mark a 33 x 33 area or a 10 x 100 area, spray that small area, mix up and do it again and again and again. its expensive and too hard to use.

  Expert response:
Herbicides are a lot different than other chemical concentrates as the rates you use are not based per gallon of water but per area as water is just the carrier and will vary from person to person due to equipment used and walking speed. The rate used depends on the type of turfgrass you have as well as the program you are following (single application or split) We do recommend calibrating your sprayer if you do not know how much water it takes you to cover the target area to ensure correct application. You would calibrate by determining the volume of water required to treat 1,000 square feet. Use this calibration volume to determine the amount of water and Prodiamine 65 WDG herbicide needed to treat the target area (see the following calibration example). Note: Sprayer calibration (volume of spray needed to treat 1,000 square feet) will vary with each individual operator. Steps in Calibration: 1. Mark an area of 1,000 square feet (i.e. 20 by 50 feet or 25 by 40 feet). 2. Place the sprayer on a level surface and add water noting the final level of water in the spray tank. 3. Spray the marked area with a sufficient volume of water to provide uniform coverage. Refill the sprayer to the same level as before measuring the amount of water added. The measured water added to the sprayer is the volume needed to cover 1,000 square feet. 4. Determine the application rate (fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.) for Prodiamine 65 WDG from the Recommendations section of this label. 5. To each volume of water used as measured in step 3, add the amount of Prodiamine 65 WDG as determined in step 4. Example: If the sprayer uses 2 gallons of water to cover 1,000 square feet and the desired application rate of Prodiamine 65 WDG is 0.185 - 0.055 oz/1,000 square feet, then you would add 0.185 - 0.055 oz of Prodiamine 65 WDG to every 2 gallons of water to be used."
