Full strength PREVENT® should not be used over the top
of new seed. PREVENT® may stop the grass seed from germinating just as it does
with crabgrass and foxtail. If you are overseeding a large area in the springtime:
- Apply GOLF COURSE STARTER® on the day the seed is planted.
- Apply TUPERSAN®
or SIDURON granules before April 10th. An application of TUPERSAN® granules will give 85% control of all annual grasses for a period of six weeks. This is not as
effective as other crabgrass products, but it is the only one which allows new seeding.
- After six weeks, when your
new seed is two inches tall, apply a full strength application of PREVENT®. This
will be approximately the end of May and will protect your lawn all summer long.
For scattered small bare spots,
apply
PREVENT® first and water it in. Then wait 3 days. Use a heavy rake and scratch
the surface of each bare spot and topdress these barespots with 3/8 to 1/2 inch
PRIMERAFC
seed dressing then apply your seed. Cover seed with additional 1/4 inch
PRIMERAFC seed
dressing.
DO NOT USE TOPSOIL. Topsoil contains weed seeds. Keep damp with
frequent light waterings. The grass seed will sprout well and not be damaged by the
PREVENT®
because of the seed dressing buffer.
