Product Description

Barricade

Prevent Weeds All Season Long

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

Barricade features The Andersons patented Dispersible Granular (DG) Technology which allows each granule to disperse into thousands of micro particles after coming into contact with water. Because of DG Technology, Barricade can move past the thatch layer of your lawn and into the soil where it prevents the germination of weed seeds.

When To Apply Barricade - Spring and Fall

Barricade is a pre-emergent weed control, which means that is designed to prevent weeds. Application timing is critical to the product's performance.

To prevent summer annual weeds in both northern and southern turf types, apply Barricade in early spring prior to soil temperatures reaching 55 degrees Fahrenheit at a four inch depth. Applying at this time will 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.

Remember, Barricade must receive irrigation or light rainfall of at least .05 inches for the herbicide prevention to activate.

For Best Results

  • Mow first
  • Set spreader and apply product
  • Blow or sweep off paved areas
  • Water in thoroughly

Barricade and Seeding

In the same way that Barricade prevents the germination of weeds, it can also inhibit the germination of turf.

If you already seeded wait 60 days or until after the second mowing, whichever is longer, before you apply Barricade.

How long you should wait to seed or overseed after applying Barricade depends on your climate. Refer to the table below for recommended intervals.

"I have been gardening for many years and I can confidently say that the pre-emergence weed control product I recently used is the best one yet. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an effective way to prevent weeds from growing in their garden. However, it's important to note that the timing of the application is crucial for optimal results. If the product is applied too late, it may not be as effective in preventing weeds from germinating and growing.Ideally, the product should be applied before the weeds start to grow. This will ensure that the product forms a barrier in the soil, preventing weed seeds from sprouting. The best time to apply the product is in early spring, before the soil temperature reaches 55°F (12°C).It's also important to note that the product remains effective even if it's applied late in the season. This means that if you missed the ideal application time in the spring, you can still apply the product later in the season and expect good results.One thing to keep in mind is that watering is crucial after applying the product. If you don't water the soil after applying the weed control product, it won't be as effective. The soil needs to be moist for the product to work properly.In summary, I highly recommend this pre-emergence weed control product for anyone looking for an effective way to prevent weeds from growing in their garden. Just remember to apply it at the right time, water the soil after application, and you'll be good to go!"
