Over the past two weeks, I've written two blogs (So you have crabgrass... now what? & Fall Post-Emergent Herbicide Application… Is it worth my time?) detailing specific post-emergent herbicides for crabgrass and broadleaf weeds. On a personal note, eight weeks ago a summer landscaping project was completed at my house. Due to various machines that were brought in to complete the project, I had (roughly) 4,000 square feet of new grass seed planted. Over the past eight weeks, the grass seed germinated, established and filled in creating a thick, lush lawn. But as nicely as the grass established, so did various weeds.
When deciding which selective herbicide(s) to use, I first looked at the area I wanted to treat. I noticed many different broadleaf weeds and crabgrass. I decided to create a five-way herbicide and use Quali-Pro Quinclorac 75 DF and Prime Source (Select Source) Triad TZ Select. These products were chosen because I have used both prior to this application. Quali-Pro Quinclorac 75 DF is exceptional for post-emergent control of crabgrass and Prime Source (Select Source) Triad TZ Select is a great option for broadleaf weed control. In addition, Prime Source (Select Source) Triad TZ Select works quicker when compared to other three-way broadleaf selective herbicides.
