Posting here to bookmark. Spraying pre emergent today and didn’t realize how much Spurge has taken over. Think I’ll just do a blanket MSM Turf layer next week when things dry up and go from there.

If entire lawn is weed infested spray it now with MSM Turf, or Celsius or Atrazine+Weed-Free-Zone combo. Follow up with another spray in a few weeks as needed.



What's the application rate for the Atrazine+Weed-Free-Zone combo that you suggested?

Of course you can use it now - just not when air temps exceed 85 F, and not in Bermudagrass lawns.

Thanks for sharing bro! frick, I hope I didn't damage my lawn. I applied 4 gallons over about 6,000-6,500 sq ft and I applied about 16oz of Atrazine and 8oz of Weed-Free-Zone. More than likely I'm thinking I didn't since I used it over a little wider area. I wanted to apply before it gat dark tonight so all I have to do before the rain in the morning is put out the Dimension pre-emergent granules.

I second what craw said about how to treat a centipede lawn. No more fert. I’d lean towards msm over atrazine+weed-free-zone or Celsius. I’m more comfortable with msm than weed-free-zone. As much as I love Celsius, temps are becoming unfavorable for it to work properly.

Also do not cut centipede high. Let us grow to 2-2.25 inches and cut it down to 1.5 to 1.75 inches. If you end up with large bare areas after you kill the weeds maybe don’t use dimension, prodiamine, simazine as your pre em in the spring. They do have an affect on your centipedes root growth. Use atrazine as it is not a root inhibitor.
