| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses preemergents, stating that "preemergent herbicides are designed to stop weed growth before it begins, so a spring preemergent program is the most effective way to combat these weeds. However, broadleaf interlopers will still appear." Highlights potential client misconceptions in regards to preemergents, suggesting that "the most common client misconception LCOs [lawn care operators] face is the belief that one application means no more weeds, ever." Explains that "timing is critical...Preemergent products should be applied before the soil temperature reaches between 53 to 58 degees [degrees] F [Fahrenheit] at the four-inch depth, the threshold for crabgrass germination." States that "another misconception is that rain following an application washes away the preemergent agent...Rain will actually help in most cases as preemergents need to be watered into the soil within a few days." Notes that "a thick, well fertilized, properly maintained lawn will have less of a problem with crabgrass. However, many lawns are far from perfect...Many LCOs hit the [broadleaf] outbreak with a reliable postemergent product." Concludes that "ultimately, a preemergent program is one phase of a season-long regimen for a healthy lawn." |
