Pre-emergent question Bermuda lawn

6 years ago

My first pre-em app (Bermuda lawn) for this year was with (0-0-7) Lesco on March 7th.
Per the label, I should re-apply in 3 months, so it is due now.
I have decided to switch to liquids and will be going with Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade) .

1. As my backyard needs to be fertilized, would it hurt to fertilize now and then put down Prodiamine (Generic Barricade) in a week?
2. Also my back-yard had a bare patch(400 sq ft) and after some starter fertilizer, it looks better now.
Should I avoid any pre-emergent in this area?

Please advice.

Thank you!

You should have been fertilizing bermuda every 4-6 weeks since your second mowing last April. The herbicide "should" not affect fertilizing. Read the labels. You can use the herbicide on the former bare spot. Do you know why it was bare? Does it get a lot of shade there?

Hi Dchall, we had a late first green up here in North Carolina. And it came out of dormancy real late. So started my first fert app April 22, May 24 and now next June 22ndish.

Yes the bare spot was due to clover which suddenly came up last year after a pre-em I bought from Lowes. After that used Weed-b-Gon and it is better but the weed is back again. (You can see my posts on clover). It has shade but after putting down Scotts starter 24-25-4, it has revived and much better than before.
