re: Is it time for pre emergent in South LA?

The Barricade Brand of Pre-Emergent is an excellent product. You still have a couple of weeks left to get it down. I run the Solutions Pest and Lawn store here in Covington and we still have some 50 lbs bags left. Good Stuff.

Sprayed my weed cocktail today... I’m guessing there’s no issues to come back in 2-3 weeks and spot spray again?

Please help!
I put in Bermuda (TiffTuff) last year. Small yard (~ 4/500 sq. ft.). I have not put down any fertilizer or weed killer.
Hopefully ronk will check in a give you his advice as he is a guru, particularly with the named cultivars. Maybe if you could post a photo or 2 of the weeds in your yard that would help. Putting out pre-emergent is a good idea for weeds that have not yet germinated but you need to it ASAP,

Are you 100% sure it was tiftuf? I only ask because it’s rarer and can only be put it my certain folks. If you did then congrats. In my opinion that is the best you can get. Drought and shade tolerant and doesn’t require as much fert as even common bermuda.
All herbicides and pesticides labeled for common bermuda can be used on tiftuf.
As craw said you need to put down pre em like yesterday. Barricade or dimension. Spot treat the weeds that are already up.

Please post pictures of your lawn. I will be honest. I have never seen tiftuf in person. Any knowledge I have on it is from reading or talking to others. I have tif 419. I have helped to manage tifsport, blackjack, and princess 77. Your grass is supposed to beat them all.
If you have shade please keep me updated on the density in shade.

Just caught the tail end of this thread, but I am very familiar with TifTuf. It is very common where I am as the sod farm that grows it is just a few miles away. Maybe I can help.
I would put down Barricade (Prodiamine) as soon as possible, but I know that has already been mentioned.

I see some poa in there. Do not spray that with atrazine. Your bermuda is greening up and atrazine will set it back and possibly kill it. You can try monument or just wait a couple more weeks until we heat up.

The winter weed cocktail that's been posted in this thread will knock all of that out (crabgrass excepted).. Will likely take a couple applications.

My front yard is overrun with weeds now. Any recommendations?
As Clint has stated use the winter weed cocktail, just check back through this thread and a couple others on the first and second page for details. Though usually not recommended, your weeds are so thick I would personally cut the lawn grass/weeds first, but at a high setting, to allow some the herbicide to contact weeds growing closer to the ground. You’ll still have plenty weed foliage of the taller growing weeds remaining for the herbicide to make contact. You’ll need a follow up spray in 2 or 3 weeks with that weed density.
Do you have St Augustine - that what it looks like.
You’re a good candidate to start using pre-emergent herbicides. Many of those cool season weeds would not be present with a fall application of pre-emergent.

Ok, I’ll try that thanks. Yeah it’s St Aug
Posted on 3/10/20 at 7:01 pm to CrawDude
So I'm moving to a new house Friday and the yard has a ton of weeds. First things first, can someone ID my grass? I think I have a mix of centipede and St. Aug, but I'm not an expert by any means. Also, if it is St Aug, am I safe to say it's not Floratam?

Just burn it down
But really I have a spreader and some pre emergent if you need it

All I see is St Augustine in your photos, but I can’t distinguish between the cultivars. Raleigh is a common cultivar sold by the sod companies in the Baton Rouge area.
Here is a good photo that shows the difference between St Aug and Centpede. Notice the leaves are opposite each other on St Aug and alternate on Centipede.
