The Anderson's 18-0-4 Fertilizer with 0.426 Barricade Herbicide, manufactured by the Andersons, is a dual-action pre-emergent herbicide and fertilizer blend that stops broadleaf and grassy weeds before they even sprout while also feeding the grass for a lush, healthy, vibrant lawn.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much The Anderson's 18-0-4 Fertilizer with 0.426 Barricade Herbicide 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 multiply them together (length X width = square footage). Depending on the turf, apply 3.6 to 8.1 pounds of The Anderson's 18-0-4 Fertilizer with 0.426 Barricade Herbicide per 1,000 sq. ft. Do not apply more than 352 lbs. of product per acre (8.1 lbs. of product per 1,000 sq. ft.) of this product per calendar year. Refer to the product label for specific application rates and restrictions. 
• Step 2: Calibrate your spreader according to the label for even application. Load the proper amount of product. 
• Step 3: Spread evenly across your turf. Water the treated area with about 0.5 inches of irrigation immediately after applying. A second application can be made when 6 to 8 weeks have passed after the application.
