LAWN RESEEDING AFTER PREEMERGENT HERBICIDE APPLICATION PDF Print E-mail

Joe Rimelpach reported that he was recently asked whether a lawn can still be over-seeded after a preemergent herbicide has been applied this year.  The answer is "No," 99% of the time since the preemergent herbicide not only prevents crabgrass and other weed seeds from germinating, but also keeps desirable turfgrass seeds from germinating.  There is one exception though.  If the active ingredient in the preemergent herbicide is siduron (e.g. Tupersan), over-seeding or reseeding can still be done.  Refer to the pesticide label for more information.
