Curious if anybody uses this in their weed managment program on residential turf to complement traditional Pre-M efforts.

I see it available in liquid as Gallery, and in Bayer 'Season Long' products.

Granular options for turf seem more limited, or restricted to ornamentals but there are a few out there for turf.

Appreciate any insights from those who use it, thanks.

The short answer is yes, I have and do use it in certain situation. However at least in my area grassy weeds are a much larger problem than broadleaf weeds. Like wise the cost of post emergent herbicides for broadleaf weeds are significantly cheaper than herbicides for grassy weeds. Isoxaben also is not a root pruner like the other popular pre-emergents.

Warm season fanatic's first time post on the cool side.

Why should someone bother with broadcast isoxaben when spot post ems for broadleaf are cheaper than then pre-em itself? Is it to save time on call backs as an applicator? The sake of clean turf and avoiding dealing with the post em? Problem broadleaf weeds where pre-em is more effective than post-em?

I used it last year in my mulch beds at the .4 oz/k rate (just over 1 lb/acre rate). I have 8k of mulch beds and they were out of control the previous year and I wanted something to help with them. I tank mixed it with prodiamine. It did the trick and suppressed all weeds in the spring. The isoxaben did not last the full season however, as I noticed some broadleafs in the beds in the fall. The 1 lb bottle will last me 5 years using it just on the beds. It's pricey, and agree, I wouldn't use it on the whole lawn. There are cheaper post-m's to tackle broadleafs.
