re: Late winter pre-emergent application:

Craw, are you applying full recommended rates on Feb. 1st and April 15th or do you split the rate in half.
For example, let’s assume your have 1 acre to spray and the recommended rate of Prodamine (your Feb. 1st choice) is 2 quarts per acre and the rate for Specticle (April 15th) is also 2 quarts per acre.
In this case would you put 1 quart of Prodamine down on Feb. 1st and then 1 quart of Specticle April 15th or do you use the full 2 quarts each application?
I put a full rate of Simazine in October and would like to also apply two spring (Feb. / April) applications with alternate product to hit a larger spectrum of weeds but I want to make sure I get the rates correct. TIA

You would use the full rate of each. Be careful with specticle. That is a very strong pre em. I use that in the fall. What grass type do you have? Bermuda/centipede/St Aug have different rates.

I see ronk has answered the question for you regarding rate and split application of two different pre-emergents. In my case Doveweed is such a serious issue at this point I need to go with Specticle in the spring, I’m just tired of using post-emergent control on it.
And do watch closely your second window of application of pre-emergent, say April, relative to soil temp (70 F). I missed my window of spring application of Specticle for Doveweed control last year by focusing on a calendar date application more so than soil temp. And b/c of the warm winter we had in 2019-2020 Doveweed seed germinated prior to my targeted calendar date application, about 3 weeks earlier than usual. I won’t make that mistake this year.
