- What is the best pre emergent herbicide for lawns? That questions depends on a few factors, but I will provide you some tips and advice on the pre emergents I am using in my lawn care business. Prodiamine is the pre emergent I use during the early part of the year. It is less expensive than others, and it also does a great job preventing crabgrass. I am using Specticle Flo in the fall on my warm season lawns. Prodiamine can be used on both cool season and warm season grasses. I am using Specticle for warm seasons grasses such as bermuda, zoysia, centipede, and st augustine. I am also planning to use another dose of specticle flo this year on bermuda and zoysia lawns in May to help with doveweed, kylinga, chamberbitter, and other warm season weeds. Specticle does a superior job in my opinion, with contolling poa annua as a fall application. Dimension is a great option if crabgrass has already germinated in the spring, but is still early in the life cycle.

Thanks for the info Jason! 👍👍
I have used Resolute for years. It works very good.
Thank you. Really new to all of this and in Georgia. I was super late so trying to get ahead for next time.
Great Video !!! Thanks !!
I'm using SF in May as well.
Please do a video for zoysia grass.
Will you do a video similar to this but with fertilizer? Showing maybe type to use, timing, how much you mix and how you apply. Thanks!
Yes please
Thanks
Hi Jason, First of all, I congratulate you for your you tube channel. My name is Onorio from Concord, nc. I have learned many things from you. But would you please make a video for Zoysia grases? ( Leizure, emmeral, zeon, and Zenith) what will be the program.
I'm using Specticle Flo in the fall and Prodiamine at the beginning of next year. Should I do one heavy/max application of each or 2 medium applications 6 weeks apart? Bermuda and Zoysia just north of Atlanta, GA. Thanks for all the vids, learning a lot from you.
Suggestions on cool season grass, kbg, rye mix mostly to get rid of poa?
Diminsion is good late spring for preventing warn season grassy weeds. Like Dallas grass, and Bahia.

For crabgrass yes. Not dallis and Bahia
I’m not sure I could put this out in May since most of my customers need and are expecting fertilizer at that time of year. I was hoping to do 6 oz in fall, simazine in Jan, and about 9 or so oz Specticle in March. That was I can start the fertilizer apps 6 weeks after. No way in May could I do fertilizer and Specticle.
A couple questions
1) its June right now in Iowa . Should I wait until fall or put somethjng down now ?
2) for weeds already there i am spraying them but what is the best way to get rid of them while there dying .pull or just mow ? Seems like mowing would just cut them . I kind of want to put a pre emergent now to save me trouble
Should I be dropping specticle with fertilizer at the same time?
Do you have a formula that is good to follow when charging customers for specticle per 1000 sqft?
What pre emergent works for lespedeza?
Can I use spetecle flo on Feb as well ?
I live in North Mississippi and I just put down prodiamine @ a rate of .4/1000 today,, I thought there was only one day of rain this coming up week ,but now it looks like 2 to 3 days of rain this coming up week. I'm worried about it washing away
I don't think you have anything to worry about.
What pre emergent for sandbur and grassy weeds?!
Hey Jason, Arkansas Bermuda lawn here. I am thinking of mixing simazine and prodiamine for my first app. Should I use them late spring to help with mid summer weeds too?
You could do a second application of prodiamine later in the spring but it is very important to get the first one down before the crabgrass germinates. You would need to check the label on simazine. I'm not sure if that is a good option once the grass starts turning green
I use prodiamine on my Bermuda but every other year I hire a company to put out Specticle Flo to switch up products. I can’t afford Specticle on my own😂
What can you use for Creeping Charlie weeds that take over your lawns
Changeup
How effective are most pre-emergents for killing newly germinated perennial weeds? Not established perennials which are waking up from dormancy.
Any preemergent work on sedge and kylinga in warm season grass?
I'm going to try specticle Flo for specticle this year. I don't think it works on nutsedge
Does the Specticle work on spurge and chamberbitter? I own a lawn treatment business as well.
Definitely helps
I put down Prodiamine this past fall & want to use it again in the spring as suggested around 55 degrees.My question is Tenacity is considered a pre & post emergent.I tried tenacity late in the season last year for the first time & got good results for one application.I want to do 2-3 applications of Tenacity next year in the spring about 10 days apart .Can I mix tenacity in with the prodiamine for the the prodiamine spring application then continue with another round or 2 of tenacity or would you recommend just applying Prodiamine alone then do my tenacity applications separate.I ask this because tenacity is considered a pre & post emergent.My thoughts are I could gain the benefits of the tenacity at the same time & save a step using both.I have some quinclorac if the crabgrass does come up.
Yes 100% mix them together. It’s really just a post emergent that lingers in the soil for 2-3 weeks. Prodiamine at max rate 1.5 lbs per acre can last 6-8 months. I have a lawn treatment business in Arkansas so I don’t use Tenacity here in the South and I doubt Jason does either. However I pulled up the label and read through it just to answer your question🤣
Wow, now I realize I’m a year late🤣
@@davisfamilyshenanigans4807 Thanks I need to do it this week.Soil Temps are finally 50 degrees & only going up from here on out.
@@Dave-ld3dr Sooner the better!
@@Dave-ld3dr what state are you in
Just wanted to say hi. I also have a question about General Liability insurance. I got a quote from a company here in Statesboro for 800.00 pr yr. Do you think I can get it cheaper and still have good coverage for just mowing, weedeating, blowing etc.? I'm not sure, just how much I need.
That sounds about right for 1 million dollar policy
Thanks Jason, it's just that it comes out to a little over 66.66 pr month. I'm seeing ads for policies as low as 27.00 and 29.00 pr month
@@lawncarelife I'm just thinking I will only be mowing from March through September. The way I see it is I will be paying for insurance for 5 months where I won't be making money
You're probably right but they charge you for year-round coverage
@@lawncarelife I'm going to keep shopping. I finally got the business name application form for GA. filled out today. I hope they approve the 1st name (Close Cuts). If not then I gave them two more names. I will be going to Savanah on Wednesday to pick up my 4000 series toro. Then I'll get my business license from Brooklet and insurance from someone.
I am in northeast AL. I have 30,700 sqft of Bermuda. How much resolute should I use if I did a all in one application like you? Thanks for any input
About 0.6 lbs by my calculation and rate
@@lawncarelife per 1000sqft or 0.6 for the whole thing? Thanks for the reply
What is the difference between Specticle G and Spticle FLO ? Seems that they are both pre-emergents, so would you be able to elaborate? Thanks!
One is granular the other is liquid
Do you mix both pesticides together or just one by it’s self..
Mix a small batch , maybe s teaspoon of each in a 1/4 gallon of water to see if they mix. Gciturf on youtube did a good video on mixing chemicals
Pre emergent will just about mix with anything. It’s 3 way, msma, and liquid fertilizer that needs testing usually
What about flumigard?
Generic suregaurd
Resolute did not remain in suspension very well. I had a lot better experience with qualipro prodiamine.
Interesting. I use about 60 jugs of resolute each spring and haven’t tried the quail pro yet. Are you sure about this before I eagerly try it out?
Hi Jason, l have field manor in my yard but l have everywhere and can't find any products that kill this weed. Could you help me? Thanks
If your talking about field madder with the blue flower and marijuana looking leaves than Celsius is very effective on it. Three way and metsulfuron does not work on it.
@@davisfamilyshenanigans4807 field manor is a plant that grows close to the ground that has a small light purple flower.
@@eugenesigmon9763 I believe your talking about field MADDER. It does have a purple/blue flower and grows low to the ground. I can’t find a field manor on Google. What state you in?
@@davisfamilyshenanigans4807 North Carolina
@@davisfamilyshenanigans4807 I just seen that plant and that's it. What confused me was a professional listed it as field manor. So what herbicide will kill it in my yard?
Just looked up spectacle flo on Site one website and it's going for $1730 a gallon. Does that sound accurate?
Yes, it is expensive
@@lawncarelife WOW!!! I'll just stick with prodiamine.
@@blackhornet25 get your neighbors family ect ect to pitch In
You use very little of it.
@@LemonySnicket-EUC Yeah but still. Almost 2 grand for a gallon. That's a hard to impossible sale for average home owners
Is it to late to apply PRODIAMINE to my zoysia this year
That would depend on where you live
@@lawncarelife im in midwest GA
It's getting really close but I would guess that you're probably still all right. I would put it down ASAP
@@lawncarelife thank you, love all the information and help you give us.
Yo, your red as an apple..Better get your blood pressure checked homey.
Been red my whole life
🤣🤣🤣
Its insane how much people spend and poison to have green blades of grass to look at and compare to their neighbors. We truly live in idiocracy.
Why would you want a yard that looks like crap?
Hmm I take it that you don't have any hobbies or anything you're passionate about!!???! 🤔
