Well I am new to the lawn forum and have been trying to learn as much as possible. I made my first purchase yesterday which included Celsius and prodiamine, after reading this forum. I have already put down sta-green crabex (diothiopyr) on my centipede on Feb 11 but my yard is already out of control with weeds from previous years of abuse. I believe I may have been a little late with the pre emergent considering I live on the gulfcoast. I was planning on spraying all my weeds this weekend with Celsius and was not sure when I should put down the prodiamine. I also am trying to prevent another year of chamber bitter. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have a lot to learn and know my yard needs a lot of love.

Welcome to TLF! :thumbup:

If you put down dithiopyr just two weeks ago, I wouldn't follow up with a Prodiamine app now.

Welcome!
From what I'm told by a few places here( ag extension and a local agriculture university professor) centipede does not do well with pre emergents that cause root pruning. In mine I decide to just grab Celsius for broadleaf and Sedgehammer.
Basically I was told to do as little as possible to the centipede and let it go. I guess it lives up to being the lazy mans grass 😏

Welcome to TLF!!!

I think you should be fine with the Prodiamine as long as you don't get heavy handed with it. From some minor research I have done on caring for Centipede, I know that it does NOT like Phosphorus or a high pH(+6.0) so keep that in mind when caring for it. I think it only needs 1.5 lbs of Nitrogen/K a year too.
