Pre-Emergent Grassy Weed Control Mini-Standard

Spring Valley offers a wide range of options for the pre-emergent control of grassy weeds that provides a clear particle distribution and performance advantage over other standard-sized (Mini-Standard 240) granules.  Spring Valley’s smaller Mini-Standard granules deliver over 60% more granules to the target area resulting in superior active ingredient coverage with minimal misses and gaps in the weed control barrier.  For best results, apply before weed germination.

Team Pro® is a combination of two economical, yet effective DNA herbicides for pre-emerge grassy weed control: benefin, known as Balan®, and trifluralin, known as Treflan®.  Together, Balan® and Treflan® compliment each other’s physical characteristics.  Balan® contributes quick activity and excellent crabgrass control, while Treflan® adds long residual, plus excellent crabgrass and some broadleaf weed prevention (including oxalis and spurge).  As soon as weed seeds germinate, TEAM PRO® stops cell division, keeping them from ever reaching the surface.  For best results, apply TEAM PRO® at a 2-lb. A.I. rate before weed germination for 12-16 week control.  In regions of excess weed pressure, single-rate applications of TEAM PRO® at a rate of 3-lbs A.I., or double-rate applications of 1.5-lb. A.I. followed by 1.5-lb. A.I. (6 weeks after initial application) may be necessary.

DIMENSION® (dithiopyr) provides season-long pre-emergence post control of the toughest grasses as well as controlling more small-seeded annual broadleaf weeds than any other herbicide.  DIMENSION®  can be used as a pre-emergent before crabgrass germination, or as a post-emerge application up to 3 leaf tillering.  When it comes to weed prevention on golf courses, DIMENSION® provides a wide range of application options (spring, summer, and fall) and controls Poa annua along with 25 other tough grasses and broadleaf weeds.  For best results, apply DIMENSION® at the minimum rate of .125-.50 lb. A.I. in northern climates (provides approximately 90-180 day control), and .25-.50-lb. A.I. per acre in southern climates (for 120-180 day control), not to exceed a total of 1.5-lbs. A.I. per acre per year.  The components in DIMENSION® are not effective unless activated by a minimum .5 inch rainfall or overhead irrigation.

*Coverage based on dithiopyr rates of 0.188 lb. A.I./acre.

CAVALCADE® (prodiamine) is a pre-emergent herbicide that is economical, offers a low-dose application rate, and is highly effective against controlling over 30 grassy and broadleaf weeds including crabgrass, goosegrass, and Poa annua.  CAVALCADE® is non-staining, and offers a wide range of application flexibility.  A single application is all that is needed for season-long control, with many turfgrass professionals choosing to apply CAVALCADE® in the fall after soil temperatures retreat below 50ºF.  CAVALCADE® has the lowest water solubility and volatility and stays within the top one half inch of soil.  For best results, apply CAVALCADE® at the minimum rate of .5-lb. A.I. per acre for control up to 12 weeks, 1-lb. A.I. per acre for up to 20 week control, and 1.5-lb. A.I. per acre for up to 32 week control.  The components of CAVALCADE® are not effective unless activated by a minimum .5 inch rainfall or overhead irrigation.

*Coverage based on prodiamine rates of 0.50 lb. A.I./acre.

GALLERY® and GALLERY® + TEAM® provide the ultimate for complete control of pre-emerge grassy and broadleaf weeds.  GALLERY® (isoxaben) is a unique herbicide that offers season-long protection against a wide range of broadleaf weed invasion, including dandelions, clover, chickweed, plantain, knotweed, and many more.  GALLERY® can be applied to established cool-and warm-seasoned turfgrasses and is also approved for application over established ornamental beds.  When combined with TEAM®, GALLERY® provides excellent broadleaf control with the added benefit of pre-emerge grassy weed control, all in a single application.  For best results, GALLERY® should be applied to weed-free turf or ornamental beds at the rate of 1-lb. A.I./acre and, when combined with TEAM®, should provide 1-lb. GALLERY® and 3-lb. TEAM® per acre.  Optimum weed control performance requires a minimum of one half inch of overhead irrigation or rainfall within 5 days of application is required to activate GALLERY® and TEAM®.
