Active Ingredient(s)
Dimension® (Dithiopyr) crabgrass preventer
Pre or Post-Emergent
Pre-emergent control of crabgrass and other listed weeds. Post-emergent control is limited to crabgrass only, up to the 3rd leaf stage of growth.
When to Apply
Apply to crabgrass before and for four weeks after germination. For all other broadleaf weeds listed on the label, apply before they germinate.
Spread our season-long weed control in summer through mid-fall (late August through early November) to control poa annua and crabgrass. When spread in the fall, a second subsequent application must be made the next spring.
How Often to Apply
- Do not apply more than 4.3 lb of this product per 1,000 sq ft per application and no more than 12.9 lb of this product/1000 sq ft per year (equivalent to 0.5 and 1.5 lb of active ingredient per acre, respectively).
- In the state of New York, do not exceed 2.1 lb per 1000 sq ft per year of this product (equivalent to 0.25 lb of active ingredient per acre).
- It’s best to apply this pre-emergent once in the early spring and again by the end of May, as one application lasts 3 – 4 months. This will cover the entire crabgrass growing season.
- For winter annuals such as Poa Annua and Chickweed, apply again when soil temperatures drop to 70°F in the late summer.
Can Be Used When Seeding
No
- After applying Season-Long Weed Preventer – wait 90 days to plant grass seed
- After seeding – wait 60 days to apply Season-Long Weed Preventer
Use With Other Products
We don’t recommend applying two of our weed controls or fertilizers together, as you risk burning your lawn. You can, however, apply two of these products together if one has fertilizer and the other one doesn’t. This is a crabgrass preventer without fertilizer. The rule of thumb is: if two products have different functions, it is usually possible to apply them together.
Apply to Dry or Damp Lawn

What is the difference between Veri-Green with Crabgrass Preventer and Season-Long Weed Preventer?
Veri-Green Crabgrass Preventer plus Lawn Fertilizer is a 2-in-1 product that kills crabgrass and fertilizes the lawn. This product acts as a pre-emergent for broadleaf weeds and a pre-and post-emergent for grassy weeds like crabgrass (up to the 3-leaf stage). Do not seed with this product as it will kill your grass seedlings.
Season-Long Weed Preventer: This is a pre-emergent product for broadleaf weeds and a pre- and post-emergent for crabgrass. There is no fertilizer in this product so it can be applied in the heat of the summer. Do not seed with this product as it will kill your grass seedlings.
For lawns with crabgrass issues, we advise applying Season-Long Weed Preventer in the beginning of June to lengthen the crabgrass prevention window of product applied in March or April. Because it has no fertilizer, it does not interfere with any other lawn application.

How to Apply
Apply
- We recommend using a spreader to evenly distribute lawn weed preventer.
- Check to make sure the spreader opening at the bottom of the hopper is closed.
- Set the spreader according to the recommended setting on the packaging or use our Spreader Settings Tool above.
- Apply around the perimeter of the lawn to establish a turning area. Then run the spreader back and forth within the area outlined by your first perimeter application. Always allow overlap to avoid gaps in coverage.
- This product can also be used in flower and landscape beds if applied after the plants are established. Use a glove if spreading Season-Long Weed Control by hand.
Post-Application
- Sweep any excess granules off of hard surfaces and back onto the lawn.
- For best results, irrigate the treated area after application. About ½ inch of water is sufficient to activate the crabgrass and weed killer.
- Once watered, wait a day to mow the lawn allowing the product time to activate.
