Bonide Crabgrass and Weed Preventer
Bonide Crabgrass and Weed Preventer is an exceptional pre-emergent granule herbicide that prevents the growth of various types of broadleaf and grassy weeds in lawns and ornamental beds.
Bonide Crabgrass and Weed Preventer, manufactured by Bonide, is a highly effective granular pre-emergent herbicide designed to prevent a wide range of broadleaf and grassy weeds before they take hold in established lawns and residential landscapes.
This product is powered by the active ingredient Dithiopyr 0.27%, which creates a protective barrier in the soil stopping weeds before they germinate, ensuring your lawn stays lush and green throughout the season.
Bonide Crabgrass and Weed Preventer is a slow-release pre-emergent herbicide that offers 2 to 4-month long control against weeds like crabgrass, spurge, and more in cool-seasoned and warm-seasoned turf and landscape ornamentals.
Tools Needed
This product may be applied with drop or rotary-type spreader.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Bonide Crabgrass and Weed Preventer to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Find the square footage by measuring the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiplying them together (length X width = square footage). A general application for turf in the north region of the United States will use 1.5 pounds per 1,000 sq. ft. A general application for turf in the south region of the United States will follow the rate of 1.9 to 2.2 pounds per 1,000 sq. ft. For landscape ornamentals, apply 6.9 oz. per 100 sq. ft. or 4.3 pounds per 1,000 sq. ft. Refer to the product label for specific application rates and restrictions.
- Step 2: Adjust the spreader to the proper calibration then load the proper amount of granules.
- Step 3: Spread the granules evenly across the treatment area. Avoid overlaps, skips, narrow rows, and concentrated bands. After application, water the granules in with 1/2 inches of irrigation.
