Dimension 2EW is a great liquid pre-emergent herbicide option for grasses and broadleaf weeds, which makes it a popular herbicide for both established lawns and golf courses. It provides excellent pre-emergent control of crabgrass and other annual grassy weeds such as Poa Annua, Dallisgrass and Goosegrass. Dimension is also better than Prodiamine in controlling broadleaf weeds. Dimension 2EW is labeled for such weeds as Chickweed, Purslane, and Spurge.
Dimension can technically be used as a pre emergent and post emergent. The active ingredient in Dimension 2EW Specialty Herbicide is the herbicide Dithiopyr, which contains post emergent qualities that can kill crabgrass in its early stages.
The application rates for Dimension 2EW 0.367 – 0.73 oz. per gallon per 1,000 sq. ft. Do not apply more than 0.73 oz. of Dimension 2EW per 1,000 sq. ft. per application, and no more than 6 pints of Dimension 2EW per acre per year (2.2 fl oz per 1000 sq. ft). Use and bookmark this Dimension Calculator page to ensure you properly calculate the mix ratios of Dimension 2EW for your lawn every time.
While the price tag of $146 for 64 ounces* may seem daunting, the upfront cost is justified when it’s broken down per 1,000 sq. ft. – just $1.66 per 1,000 sq. ft.
Example: a 10,000 sq. ft. lawn would be at $33.20 for a full split application (two apps, three months apart, and just under 15 total fl. oz.). On top of this cheap season-long coverage, this 64 oz. container of Dimension 2EW herbicide would cover this cool season for 4 years of pre-emergence control.
After spraying Dimension 2EW herbicide, water in with 1/2″ of irrigation or rainfall within 6 hours of application. For post emergent herbicide control, wait a minimum of 6 hours before watering.
Dimension plays a pivotal role in preventing and controlling crabgrass. Know exactly when to apply crabgrass preventer. For best coverage, apply Prodiamine in early Spring (Round 1) and apply Dimension 2EW (Dithiopyr) later in the season – about 8 weeks after Round 1.
