Apply pre-emergent weed control to prevent winter and spring’s tougher weeds including oxalis – the yellow-flowered clover look-alike. Many weeds begin to sprout as the weather cools, and fall rains begin. Thousands of the microscopic seeds have dispersed themselves after the spring and summer flower season. These seeds are poised to sprout as soon as the weather cools and rains begin.
With the weather cooling and rain arriving, oxalis, annual bluegrass, and many other weeds will begin to wake up in your lawn and landscape.
If you have or have had oxalis (small clover-like leaves with a yellow flower pictured below), your lawn or landscape bed has already been seeded for next year’s crop. Thousands of the microscopic seeds have dispersed themselves after the spring and summer flower season. These seeds are poised to sprout now as soon as the weather cools and rains begin.
Pre-emergent weed control products prevent these new seeds from sprouting if timed correctly. Applying Bonide Crabgrass and Weed Preventer in fall will prevent weed seeds that typically sprout with the first fall rains. Using now prevents oxalis and annual bluegrass and helps break the life cycle of the weed, bringing it into control.
Caution! Pre-Emergents will also prevent lawn seeds from sprouting. Postpone your weed prevention if you plan to reseed a lawn in the next couple of months.
