Product Focus: Pre-emergent herbicide with slow-release nitrogen fertilizer

Detailed Benefits

Stops Crabgrass Before It Starts
Crabgrass is much easier to prevent than to control after it germinates. This application creates a protective barrier in the soil that prevents crabgrass seeds from developing into mature plants. Because crabgrass is an aggressive annual weed, early prevention eliminates competition before it can rob your lawn of nutrients, water, and sunlight.

Reduces Weed Pressure All Season Long
By preventing crabgrass early, your lawn doesn’t have to compete for space during peak growing months. A lawn free from early weed pressure naturally fills in thicker, making it harder for other weeds to establish later.

Encourages Thicker, Healthier Turf
The slow-release nitrogen provides steady feeding rather than a quick surge of growth. This controlled nutrition:

• Promotes even green-up
• Strengthens root systems
• Encourages lateral growth (thickening)
• Improves overall turf density

A denser lawn acts as a natural weed barrier.

Minimizes Excessive Top Growth
Fast-release fertilizers can cause rapid blade growth, leading to more mowing and added stress. Slow-release nitrogen feeds gradually, reducing surge growth while supporting strong root development.

Builds Early Root Strength
Early spring is when roots become active. Supplying nutrients at this time helps turf establish a stronger root system, improving drought tolerance and nutrient uptake heading into warmer months.

Protects Your Investment
Crabgrass infestations can be costly and time-consuming to correct once established. Preventative treatment is more economical and effective than post-emergent control and reseeding later.

Why Timing Is Critical
This application must be applied before soil temperatures consistently reach crabgrass germination levels (around 55°F). Once crabgrass emerges, prevention is no longer effective. Early application ensures season-long protection and gives your lawn a competitive advantage from day one.
