  • Asked by Nancy from Prague, Ne
    10/01/2019
    Q
    If you use Scotts Halts Crabgrass and Grassy Weed Preventer in the fall, do you need to use it again in the spring?
    A

    A pre-emergent application in the fall generally will not last until spring, especially if you live in an area with a hearty winter. Scotts Halts Crangrass and Grassy Weed Preventer was discontinued by the manufacturer, but we have many other excellent pre-emergents. We suggest Pendulum 2G for fall application and Hi-Yield Weed and Grass Stopper with Dimension for spring application in most turfgrasses and areas.

    Q
    Will Scotts Halts Crabgrass and Grassy Weed Preventer help prevent Virginia Buttonweed?
    A

    Scotts Halts Crabgrass and Grassy Weed Preventer is not labeled for Virginia Buttonweed.  We do not know of a pre-emergent that is labeled for buttonweed, as it is a difficult weed to kill.  It usually takes multiple applications of post-emergent herbicides to treat it.  Post-emergent product recommendations will be based on your desired turfgrass.

  • Asked by Pete from Lakeland, Fl

    Q
    What setting on broadcast spreader to apply Scotts Halts Crabgrass and Grassy Weed Preventer?
    A

    Unfortunately we do not have the spreader settings for that specific combo and the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates.

    Please review our How to Calibrate your Spreader Video HERE for instructions on calibrating.
