Applying Pre-emergent #859944

Asked February 26, 2024, 4:48 PM EST

Hi.  I live in HOUSTON and the temperature is already 50+ degrees in the mornings.  

Is it too late to apply Pre-emergent?

Also can Pre & Post Emergent be applied at the same time?

Thanks for your reply

Hello,

You can apply pre-emergent now, but will need to wait for post-emergent herbicides.
