It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Not for use on turf being grown for sale or other commercial use as sod, or for commercial seed production, or for research purposes.
In Virginia, this lawn/turf fertilizer contains phosphorous and is only for nonagricultural use on (i) turf during its first growing season, (ii) on turf areas being repaired or renovated, and (iii) on turf where a soil test performed within the last 3 years indicates a phosphorous deficiency. This fertilizer is not for the routine maintenance of turf.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS:
Apply uniformly through suitable, calibrated application equipment.
ESTABLISHED TURF:
This product is a preemergence herbicide that, when properly applied as directed, will control certain grass and broadleaf weeds in established turf grasses and lawns. The maximum amount of this product that may be applied per year is given for each turf grass species in the Maximum Annual Rates section of this label.
Most effective weed control in turf grasses will be obtained when this product is activated by at least 0.5 inch of rainfall or irrigation prior to weed seed germination and within 14 days following application. See the map below for approximate crabgrass seed germination dates.
Use Restrictions and Precautions:
The following precautions apply to the use of this product in turf grasses and lawns:
Rates of Application:
This product may be applied as a single application or in sequential applications to control weeds germinating throughout the year. All applications must be made prior to germination of the target weeds. This product will not control established weeds.
Maximum use rate selection should be based on turf species. The length of time of residual weed control provided by this product is related to the rate applied.
(See label for complete rates).
WEEDS CONTROLLED:
When used at the recommended rates this product will control: Barnyardgrass; Bluegrass, Annual (Poa annua); Carpetweed; Chickweed, Common; Chickweed, Mouseear (from seed); Crabgrass (Large, Smooth); Crowfootgrass; Cupgrass, Woolly; Foxtails, Annual; Goosegrass1; Henbit; Itchgrass; Johnsongrass (from seed); Junglerice; Knotweed; Kochia; Lambsquarter, Common; Lovegrass; Oxalis; Panicum (Texas, Fall, Browntop); Pigweed; Purslane, Common; Pusley, Florida; Rescuegrass3; Shepherd’s Purse2; Signalgrass, Broadleaf; Speedwell, Persian; Sprangletop; Spurge, Prostrate; Witchgrass; Woodsorrel, Yellow (from seed).
1-In many areas a single application of 3.6 to 8.1 lbs/1,000 sq. ft. (155 to 352 lbs/A) of this product will control goosegrass. However, under heavy goosegrass pressure and/or an extended growing season, most effective weed control may be obtained by making an initial application of 3.6 to 5.4 lbs/1,000 sq. ft. (155 to 235 lbs/A) followed after 60 to 90 days by a second application at doses that would not exceed those given in the Maximum Annual Rates Table. Do not exceed the maximum rate for turfgrass species listed in the Maximum Annual Rates Table on the label.
2-Applications for this weed should be made in late summer, fall, or winter prior to germination. Do not exceed the maximum application rates specified in the Maximum Annual Rates table.
3-Suppression only.
Sequential applications may be made so long as the total amount of product applied does not exceed the maximum application rates specified in the Maximum Annual Rates table. All applications must be made prior to germination of the weed seeds.
When to Apply After Overseeding Turf:
Do not apply to overseeded turf within 60 days after seeding or until after the second mowing, whichever is longer. Injury to desirable seedlings is likely if this product is applied before seedling secondary roots are in the second inch of soil, not thatch plus soil.
* Note: In AZ, CA, NV and TX, the overseeding interval can be shorter in established bermudagrass that has been overseeded with perennial ryegrass. See the next section “Poa annua Control in Established Bermudagrass Overseeded with Perennial Ryegrass (AZ, CA, NV and TX only)”.
Poa annua Control in Established Bermudagrass Overseeded with Perennial Ryegrass (AZ, CA, NV and TX only):
Use on golf courses (excluding golf course putting greens) and lawns when overseeding with perennial ryegrass (minimum seed rate of 350 lbs/A).
How Much and When to Apply:
Amount to Apply: 88 - 155 lbs./acre or 2.0 - 3.6 lbs./1,000

Good product
By Robert on 03/18/2021
Good product with higher percentage of active ingredient than some others. I chose the lower nitrogen formulation for early spring application. Smaller and more uniform particles would improve this product, but overall I'm satisfied and Barricade has worked well for me.

New lawn (2yrs old) supplied by builder (sod and seed) in rocky clay soil (just terrible - 50% weeds). Just plugged some areas with Myer Zoysia and Bimini Bermuda grass (mid/late Aug). I would like to put this down as my fall Fertilizer/Weed control.
Andersons 5-5-25 Fertilizer with Barricade Herbicide is not safe to use on your newly plugged turf. The turf must be well-established - usually mowed at least 2-3 times - before you can apply this or other pre-emergent herbicides to it.
I looked at the product label and it provides quite a bit of information, but, doesn't mention if this product is most effective when applied after the last frost, or just before weed germination (which is show to be March 20th in my area), or a specific air temperature minimum.
You may contact your local cooperative extension office to determine the correct timing of the Andersons 5-5-25 Fertilizer with Barricade Herbicide application as this will vary greatly from region to region. This division of the local university is available for homeowners to assist with disease identification, weed control, soil analysis, active ingredient or product recommendations as well as the best time to apply.
Pre-emergents are best applied before weed seeds germinate, and for spring that is typically around 55 degrees for most.
Anderson's 5-5-25 Fertilizer with Barricade for pre emergent control of weeds should be applied in late fall when soil temps drop to 70 degrees and continue to drop. In spring time, you want to apply pre emergents when soil temps reach around 50-55 degrees.
For the fertilizer aspect, a soil analysis is recommended to determine what nutrients your lawn has or needs going into winter. Typically, the best time to apply winterizer is in late fall, about three weeks before the ground is frozen but for specific timing, we recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office Master Gardener Division for their recommendation on timing and the best NPK value for your turfgrass, nutrients it may need and for your zone.
We recommend using a soil analysis test kit or taking a sample of your soil to your local cooperative extension so your soil can be analyzed to determine what nutrients your soil is lacking. The healthiest, hardiest lawns are fertilized 2-4 times per year, fall, summer, early spring and late spring. We do have a soil test kit here.
The ideal time to apply a fall pre-emergent herbicide to your yard is between August and November when the soil temperature is below 70 degrees and dropping.
