Also, keep in mind given how persistent and pesky chamberbitter is, there is no one and done solution to take care of the weed so repeat applications may be necessary.
For established turfgrasses, you should not mow 2 days before or 2 days after applying Princep Liquid Herbicide.

After the weed seeds have warmed up, they germinate, rendering pre-emergent applications useless. There is not a specific temperature but if it gets close to 85-90 degrees it is possible that those seeds have already germinated.
