Make you plans now. “April 15 has traditionally is the latest date to apply pre-emer- gent herbicides in Cen- tral Kentucky,” Munshaw said. “Western Kentucky’s deadline is usually a few days earlier, and Eastern Kentucky’s time frame usually ends a few days later.” This year, we seem to be ahead of schedule. Forsythia is a fairly re- liable indicator of when crabgrass will germinate. Individuals should ap- ply pre-emergent herbi- cides before the forsythia blooms begin to drop. “Forsythia buds usually mean you have 10 to 14 days to apply a pre-emer- gent herbicide,” Munshaw said. Individuals wanting to use herbicide should look for products containing the active ingredients di- thiopyr, pendemethalin, prodiamine and bensu- lide. “Weed and feed” products and others con- taining nitrogen are not recommended for lawns with cool-season grasses, such as tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass, dur- ing the spring or summer. “Nitrogen encourages the growth of perennial and annual warm-season weeds to further outcom- pete cool-season grasses, as they grow really well during the hottest part of the year,” Munshaw said. “All fertilizer on cool-sea- son lawns should be ap- plied in the fall.” For more information contact the Estill County Cooperative Extension Service at 723-4557.
