ok i have 2 questions i need some help on the first one is i live in south central oklahoma i usally start applying my weed control in the last week of jan thru march the 15 by then the bermuda grass is starting to come out of dormancy anyway am i starting these apps to early or should i wait till feb. for my chemicals im using roundup and simazine for premerge on crabgrass. The 2nd question is do most of you use this preemerge (simazine) to control crabgrass and if you do is it pretty effective i myself cant tell if it is or not because it all depends on our weather if we have a rainy summer crabgrass gets pretty bad around here so i get a lot of calls for msma if its a dry summer crabgrass it is not much of a problem. The simazine label shows you can use it for premerge control for crabgrass but other people tell me its not to great for this type of weed to control it premergently they say surflan or pendulum works better sometimes i think they say this to get more money out of people.
