Specticle® G delivers up to 6 months of pre-emergent weed control with significantly less active ingredient than traditional herbicides. Powered by indaziflam, this advanced granular formulation creates a strong soil barrier that prevents over 90 grassy and broadleaf weeds from emerging — including annual sedges.

Designed for professional landscapers and serious property owners who want extended protection with fewer applications.

Why Choose Specticle® G?

• Up to 6 Months of Control — Longer residual than most traditional pre-emergents
• Controls 90+ Weeds — Including crabgrass, goosegrass, spurge, and annual sedges
• Low Use Rate — Requires significantly less active ingredient than older chemistries
• Granular Convenience — Easy spreader application

Where to Use

• Established warm-season turf (Bermuda, Zoysia, Bahia, Buffalo)
  
• Commercial properties, HOAs, and high-maintenance landscapes

Not for use on cool-season lawns such as Tall Fescue, Bluegrass, or Ryegrass.

Application Rate

2.9 – 4.6 lbs per 1,000 sq ft

• Lower rates for shorter control or lighter weed pressure
• Higher rates for extended control and heavy pressure
• Do not exceed 200 lbs per acre per application or 400 lbs per acre annually

Timing & Activation

• Apply before weed seed germination
• Light irrigation or rainfall is required to activate
• Avoid application to saturated soils
• Postpone if heavy runoff-producing rain is expected

Important Use Notes

• For over-the-top applications, remove granules from foliage promptly
• Use caution on sandy or coarse soils — consider split applications
• Only apply to established turf

Specticle® vs Traditional Pre-Emergents

• Prodiamine / Dimension: Typically 2–4 months of control
