They’re coming. The dandelions, crabgrass, chickweed and more. We’ve got a long growing season and weeds have a head start here in Louisiana, as opposed to in northern states. That’s why spring pre-emergent is so important. With our lawn weed control service in Madisonville, obnoxious spring weeds don’t stand a chance.
What is Pre-Emergent?
Pre-emergent treatments come in two types: selective and non-selective. Non-selective herbicides prevent all plant growth, including grass. This is the kind of treatment applied to large mulched areas, pathways and driveway cracks. Selective pre-emergent is an herbicide mixture designed to selectively prevent specific plants (weeds) from growing. When dealing with selective pre-emergent herbicides, it’s important to carefully identify the weed species you are dealing with and know your grass type.
Both selective and non-selective pre-emergents work by forming a barrier of herbicides that extends below-ground an inch or so, in order to interrupt the germination process. Pre-emergent is applied in spring and fall to stop the growth of both cool and warm season weeds and should be part of a comprehensive approach to weed control. For example, post-emergent treatments will also be necessary to address any weeds that inevitably make their way into your yard. Of course, comprehensive weed control must also include a well-designed plan for fertilization.
