Summer preemergent application

Today we started applying our summer weed control to the golf course. This year we went with a product called Ronstar and it is considered the Cadillac of weed control. In a typical year we would have sprayed everything on the golf course and not used a granular product like we have done this time. But, due to the unseasonably warm winter that we have had we were unable to apply the preemergent that we had planned on spraying. Some products cannot be sprayed on green Bermuda grass, so we went in another direction and applied a granular instead. We will apply a second application sometime after Masters week. By applying a preemergent now to the golf course or even your home lawn you will stand a better chance in controlling those pesky summer weeds. If you have not applied a summer weed control yet then I would recommended that you do not wait much longer, some weeds begin to germinate as soon as the soil temperatures start to warm up on a consistent basis.
