When to apply pre-m for crabgrass

[xtremelawn]

When should i apply my Pre-M for Crabgrass? I live in the Fort Worth area.
I think i'm in zone 8 but i'm real close to zone 7. I will be using DG Aquacap.
Should i do the full rate now or do a split app.

Thanks

Use soil temp, not zone for timing.

Do a search on this site for numerous discussions on subject.

Growing degree days, or when the forsythia turn green... not when they flower.

Hey guys I dont mean to change the subject, but I need some advice...

I operate out of Tulsa, OK. I have a client that has decent size sticker problem in his back yard. They are everywhere. Of course they are dormant right now. I have not been doing the weed control part of the business for too long (only a couple of years). Any suggestions as to what to apply to help control them when thinigs start to come back this spring? I was thinking of applying some round up, or possibly Three-Way from Lesco. And of course I am going to hit it with a couple of rounds of pre-m. Any other suggestions? The site in question is about 1500 sq ft.

Sticker.... that sounds like a local name for some type of weed. Never heard of it. Do you have another name for it?

Start a new thread instead to ask your question instead of hijacking another one. You'll get a better response anyway if you do.

It's probably burweed.

When you say pre-m do you mean Pendamethalin? or do you mean a pre m in general, the reason I ask is products like barricade/stonewall you can go out alot earlier especially if youre gonna be doing split apps.

oh stickers my 6 yr old daughter put them all over my oak desk, im sure roundup wont get them off without damaging the wood. lol

Sticker works good when you think it might rain

When I say pre-m I mean pendimethanlin. I have always used the pre-m
0-0-7 from lesco for my applications this time of year. I was just trying to figure out what else to use on the burweed, b/c I want to make sure I can eliminate it. I have been told to use round-up, three-way, or semizine. Just trying to figure out the best way to attack it. Like I said I have only been handling the weed control and fertilizing part of this business for a couple of years, and I have never had to deal with burweed.

Alright you smart-asses, stickers - burweed same damn thing. Stickers is what most people call them around here. If I were to go to a customer and say burweed they would probably just look at me funny.....
