Kill existing weeds before Pre-Emergent?
Posted on 12/3/17 at 2:07 am
Posted on 12/3/17 at 2:07 am
I am late on applying my Pre Emergent, should I kill existing weeds with a Selective Herbicide before applying the Pre Emergent?
Using Simazine as a Pre Emergent and was going to use 2-4D as a Selective Herbicide.
I have Centipede Grass.

Killing mature weeds is a bad idea due to the targeted weeds developing an increased resistance to chemicals. I would apply the pre-emergent and treat for the weeds in the spring.

So after the snow melts and the 14 degree temperature moderates, should I whack anything still green in my yard with Roundup? Seems like a good time to do some surgical removal, certainly no grass to harm right now.

When to apply pre-emergent?

Curious about this too. The usual suspect is back in my yard-don't know the name of it.

Not a bad idea.

You are the man on these threads. I always open them hoping you've posted. Is this what you do for a living? I'd gladly pay you to come look at the crap my home builder called a yard (I'm the second owner) and chart me a path to a real grass environment. I'm ready to kill it all, scrape and start over. I've always had older, established St. Aug yards, this one neauseates me every time I step outside.

Boot should absolutely be paid for all of his contributions here. He should start a patreon

Careful, we don't want the appearance that he's running a consulting business here

I always say i'm going to do something about the weeds this year, and i always forget about it after the grass stops growing.
My two main issues are nutsedge and bahia...ive never had much issue with crabgrass.
Any steps i can take to prevent/control those 2 weeds at this point?

I manage a large recreation facility, so turf maintenance is a very large part of what I do. My education is industrial engineering, so I'm no biologist or anything, but I do enjoy doing it and am still learning myself. I just hope to be able to give back as much info as I take in around here.

By June, the Bahia covers 80% of my 2 acres. I bought some stuff at the co-op last year to kill it, but i was scared to death to get the mixture wrong that i never used it. (it was something like 0.3oz per 20 gal of water. that sounds pretty easy to screw up. )

What turfgrass do you have?

Sodded Centipede about 20% of the yard, and the Bahia doesnt get in there at all. The rest is Bermuda, which is where the problem lies. Literally.

Bahia - MSMA @ 48oz/Acre
Nutsedge (if the MSMA doesn't get kill it first) - Certainty @ 1.25oz/Acre
