There is no wait to me to apply a fertilizer after using Monterey Spurge Power but if you would like you can wait 5-7 days for lawn to recover from the application.
Monterey Spurge Power should be applied to actively growing weeds. You would want to apply when soil temps reach 55 degrees and air temps are not over 80 degrees. Please review the product label for more information.
Timing is very important when applying pre emergent products such as Prodiamine 65 WDG so you want to be sure to apply before the weeds germinate. For the best timing on when to apply both products in your specific region, we would recommend contacting your Master Gardener at your local cooperative extension office.
Monterey Spurge Power can be used as a spot spray or broadcast application to treat spurge in bermuda lawns. Per the product label, for warm season turfgrasses actively growing the lower rates are recommended. When warm season turfgrass is completely dormant, the higher rates can be used. Avoid applications to warm season lawn during transition from dormancy to green-up or green-up to dormancy
Monterey Spurge Power should be applied when the targeted weed is young and actively growing (and temperatures are above 55 degrees). Ester formulations work better in the cooler temperatures. For Bermuda, apply at the rate of 1.0 to 1.25 fl. oz. in 2 gallons to 5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. When treating warm season lawn that is completely dormant, the higher rates may be used. When treating warm season lawn that is actively growing, use a lower rate. Avoid applications to warm season lawn during transition from dormancy to green-up or green-up to dormancy.
