The rate of application for Specticle G, a pre-emergent herbicide, will vary depending on the type of grassy weed you are trying to prevent. It is important to follow the recommended rates to ensure effective control while also avoiding damage to your lawn.
For most warm-season grasses, the typical rate of application is between 2.9 to 4.6 pounds per 1,000 square feet. This range provides a good starting point for determining the appropriate amount of Specticle G to use.
However, it is crucial to identify the specific grassy weed you are dealing with, as different weeds may require different application rates. Some common grassy weeds include crabgrass, foxtail, and goosegrass. Each of these weeds may have specific application rates recommended by the manufacturer.
To determine the exact rate of Specticle G for your specific grassy weed, I recommend referring to the product label or consulting with a local gardening or landscaping expert. The label will provide detailed instructions on the appropriate amount of Specticle G to use based on the target weed and the size of the area to be treated.
When applying Specticle G, it is important to evenly distribute the herbicide across the lawn to ensure thorough coverage. This can be achieved using a spreader, following the manufacturer’s instructions for calibration and application techniques.
In my personal experience, I have found that following the recommended application rates for Specticle G has resulted in effective control of grassy weeds in my lawn. However, it is always a good idea to monitor the treated area and make any necessary adjustments if weed breakthrough occurs.
The rate of Specticle G application will depend on the grassy weed you are trying to prevent. The typical rate for most warm-season grasses is 2.9 to 4.6 pounds per 1,000 square feet. However, it is important to consult the product label or seek professional advice for specific rates based on the target weed. Even application and monitoring for weed breakthrough are essential for successful weed control.
