While your lawn faces many enemies, none are quite so persistent as weeds. Weeds are notorious nutrient thieves that also hinder your lawn's curb appeal. In Arizona, weeds grow all year long due to the relatively mild winters we experience. Fortunately, scheduling pre-emergent weed control treatments in the fall will prevent them from sprouting during the fall and winter seasons! It can also help minimize the number of weeds on your lawn once spring rolls around. Pre-emergent treatments are very effective on weeds that are just beginning to germinate. Still, you should also apply post-emergent treatments to tackle any weeds that have already passed a certain point in their cycle, which permits them to sprout anyway. These treatments will ensure your lawn is weed-free during the fall and winter - and well into the next year!
Pre-emergent weed control treatments are effective on weeds that are just beginning to germinate, as it creates a barrier that prevents them from sprouting through the surface of your lawn. Winter annual weeds germinate in the fall and live throughout the winter, sapping precious nutrients and resources from your turf. However, when you apply pre-emergent weed control in the fall, you can stop these weeds from ever sprouting and becoming a problem in the first place!
Pre-emergent treatments protect your lawn from common weeds such as bindii (goat's head) and spurge.
Getting ahead of weeds is essential to maintaining a weed-free lawn, and pre-emergent treatments in the fall can do that! It prevents weeds from sprouting during the fall and winter, but it can also minimize the number on your lawn in the spring! It's easier to control the population in the spring when there are fewer weeds to treat, and it gives your lawn a healthier start to the new year. Spring is also a good time to apply another round of pre-emergent treatments, as the next round of weeds will begin germinating in time for the summer. The best method of weed control is prevention, and regular pre-emergent treatments play a tremendous role in achieving a weed-free lawn year-round.
While pre-emergent weed control treatments are very effective on weed seeds that are just beginning to germinate, they aren't as effective on those that have already passed a certain point in their cycle. As a result, you may still see a few weeds sprout up, even after a pre-emergent treatment. Fortunately, applying post-emergent weed control treatments in the fall can take care of the relentless few and eliminate any that have already surfaced. When these treatments are used together, weeds won't stand a chance!
You can apply post-emergent weed control treatments to your lawn any time you see weeds!
