Was shocked at the price when first told, but I can actually save money by not having to do a follow-up app to clean things up like I have in the past after using Prodiamine. We can't use Simazine here as a post due to excessive use in the past and poor performance now. We are going to start applying next week, with a follow-up app at the same rate in November. Will get us way into next spring. This is non-overseeded Bermuda turf in Central Florida, all grown on sandy soil with a good organic layer on the surface.
Wish we could use Specticle. With all the horror stories of it's use down here over the last 2 years, I think it looks better on the shelf.
If I were you I would pack that stuff up and let Parker drive it right on up here to give to me. I wouldn't even touch that stuff on your new turf.
That being said, the majority of the issues were related to applying on drought or nematode stressed turf, new turf and/or going at the highest rate. We did a trial last year at the mid-rate and were fine.
