So here's where I am at after having the Tru Cut for a couple of months with lots of water and fert! I am going to apply a pre-emergent next month. What should I get and where can I get it? Bermuda lawn in GA.

Do you have a preference on spray vs granular?

Yard looks great!

 

[Kustrud]

Thank you! I'd say granular.

Looking great! Whats your HOC? Where in GA do you live? Is your house a Crown/DR Horton model?

 

[Kustrud]

Thanks! I live in Braselton - Century was the builder. HOC is around 3/4" or so.

Any recommendations on a good granular pre-emergent for GA Bermuda?

I've always used Scott's Halt products (linked below). It's a granular based pendimethalin product, I apply twice/year for spring and fall pre-e apps.

Doyourown has 10% off all pre m products.

I just bought some ronstar g which is oxadiazon. It's great for goosegrass and crabgrass amongst many. Also, doesn't slow any root growth, which was good for me down here south of Atlanta with a rocky soil and thin canopy in spots.

I went granular, but I'd look into spray next year for sake of pricing over time with some prodiamine. Wayyyy cheaper. I paid 130 bucks for a bag of ronstar g, not cheap compared to most, so you have to weigh the differences.

In my opinion, it works fine. It's not going to completely stop all weeds- you'll still have to treat some with a post-e.

Next spring, I'll be transitioning to the Prodiamine spray simply due to a cost savings (as others have pointed out on this forum).

But for a simple granular application, the Halts product will work just fine.

It is my understand Pendimethalin has a shorter length of control than Prodiamine - meaning you can't apply it once and expect up to 6 months of control.

My bottle of Pendimethalin says to reapply a slightly lower rate 5-8 weeks after the initial application if necessary
