Professional-Grade Granular Pre-Emergent Weed Control for up to 5,800 sq ft (18 lb)

Preventing Weeds All Season Long with Barricade

Barricade, The Andersons' professional-grade pre-emergent weed control, is one of the most effective and cost-efficient granular weed preventers on the market. Containing 0.48% of the active ingredient prodiamine, Barricade can be used on established lawns and landscape beds to prevent the growth of over 30 types of grass and broadleaf weeds, including crabgrass, goosegrass, foxtail, lambsquarter, and henbit.

Barricade's success lies in its patented Dispersible Granular (DG) Technology. This technology allows each granule to disperse into thousands of micro-particles upon contact with water, enabling the product to penetrate the thatch layer of your lawn and reach the soil where weed seeds germinate. As a pre-emergent weed control, Barricade is designed to prevent weeds from taking root in the first place.

Timing is crucial for the optimal performance of Barricade. To prevent summer annual weeds in both northern and southern turf types, apply Barricade in early spring, before soil temperatures reach 55 degrees Fahrenheit at a four-inch depth. This timing will effectively prevent weed seeds from germinating. In southern zones, Barricade can be reapplied in the fall to prevent annual winter weeds like poa annua, also known as bluegrass.

It's important to note that Barricade requires irrigation or light rainfall of at least 0.05 inches to activate the herbicide prevention. For best results, follow these steps:

1. Mow the lawn before application.
2. Set the spreader and apply the product.
3. Blow or sweep off any residue from paved areas.
4. Water the treated area thoroughly.

While Barricade prevents the germination of weeds, it can also inhibit the germination of turf. If you have already seeded your lawn, wait at least 60 days or until after the second mowing, whichever is longer, before applying Barricade. The recommended interval for seeding or overseeding after applying Barricade depends on your climate. Refer to the provided table for the recommended intervals.

In summary, Barricade is a professional-grade pre-emergent weed control that utilizes innovative Dispersible Granular Technology to provide effective and season-long weed prevention. By following the proper application timing and techniques, you can maintain a healthy, weed-free lawn and landscape throughout the year.
