Q&A – What pre-emergents should I use on my lawn?
Question:
What pre-emergents should I use on my lawn?
Answer:
Madison County Extension Agent Celeste Scott says there are several options for lawn pre-emergants for home owners. Pendulum, Dimension, and Barricade are all common options. Pre-emerge is used to control weeds before they germinate. Many people use it to control crabgrass in the warm season. In the Memphis area that means spreading the pre-emergent in late February or early March. Other areas are earlier or later depending on the climate. If you want to use pre-emergent to control the cool season weeds you should apply it in late summer and possible again in the fall.
