Out of the snow

As we head into spring, here are some pre-emergents to consider for your lawn care arsenal.

CIVITAS WEEDfree BRAND Concentrate

The pitch: Intelligro brings you CIVITAS WEEDfree BRAND Concentrate, which is specially formulated to kill more than 60 listed broadleaf weeds.

  • The formula shows visible injury on weeds within 12 hours.
  • The microtechnology enables the product to penetrate into weeds with less active ingredients required to kill weeds.
  • Produces a white emulsion when sprayed that identifies treated areas, reducing over-use and product waste.

Lebanon ProScape 22-0-6 40% MESA .15 Dimension

The pitch: ProScape 22-0-6 40% MESA .15 Dimension is a combination of a selective herbicide, which provides control of listed annual grasses and broadleaf weeds, and Lebanon’s proprietary controlled-release nitrogen source MESA.

  • Unlike coated nitrogen technologies, MESA does not lose its slow-release properties when cracked, chipped or crushed.
  • It is a combination fertilizer and weed control.

PBI-Gordon Barrier

The pitch: Barrier delivers season-long pre-emergent control of listed annual and perennial weeds.

  • Activated with water, it attaches to soil organic matter and releases the active ingredient.
  • It creates a “vapor barrier” that slowly kills existing shallow-rooted weeds and grasses, and prevents new growth.
  • Formulated for use in established landscape and non-crop settings such as hospitals, sport facilities, cemeteries, apartment complexes and other institutional settings.

Syngenta Barricade

The pitch: Barricade herbicide from Syngenta controls summer annuals when applied as a pre-emergent in the spring.

  • If overseeding in the spring, Tenacity herbicide may be applied at the time of seeding.
  • Even after heavy rain or snow, Barricade stays in the weed germination zone and will not break down.
  • A single application can be made as early as January to prevent more than 30 turf weeds all season long. Annual weeds controlled include crabgrass, goosegrass and barnyardgrass.
