I have a newer centipede lawn with sod being laid down last February. That last hard freeze really put the hurt on it but has hung on well enough. I have only fertilized it with milorganite up to this point. I was going to put down Prodiamine in a week or two but then I read that it might harm root systems in newly sodded lawns and not allow good grass seed to germinate. Should I be concerned about this and wait until next season to apply preemergent?

If sod was laid in Feb 2021 you can apply pre-emergent now. The label on the pre-emergent herbicide will state the minimum time that must lapse between sodding and applying pre-emergent, if I recall correctly from memory it’s usually a few months. Just pull a Prodiamine label off the web and read it.

Fall pre emergent won’t affect it. If you are worried that it isnt well established you might want to skip the spring app or apps. Just stick to a post emergent plan only.

What’s the best weed killer for centipede that won’t kill the grass itself?

Hi yield grass killer with Sethoxydim.

I need something for VBW and I don't see VBW listed here.
