Can I use both pendimethalin and dithiopyr in the same year?

I applied Scott's Halts Crabgrass And Grassy Weed Preventer (active ingredient Pendimethalin) at the end of August to control poa annua. Soil temperatures dropped below 70 degrees early this year so I put it down sooner than hoped. I would like to apply a second application of Pendimethalin in 6-8 weeks to be sure I have good control over the fall and winter. The label says to apply no more than two times per year but I would like to apply a pre-emergent in the spring as well. Can I apply this product containing dithiopyr next spring without causing a problem? Also, assuming that's okay, would it be better to apply dithiopyr this fall or next spring?

Answer:

Yes, If you have used a pre-emergent with pendimethalin in the fall you can use a pre-emergent with dithiopyr like Hi-Yield Weed and Grass Stopper with Dimension Herbicide in the spring to prevent resistance buildup.
