First one is quinclorac. This is the first choice active ingredient that kills crabgrass that you may be seeing. If your lawn is covered in crabgrass like a carpet - especially through the middle or meaty part of the lawn, you will want to kill it off or at least stunt it really well before seeding.

That is really all this chart is for. It also warns you about using it in or around fine fescues - they must be part of a blend if you do. No Bueno. So if you passed the test on this part and are seeding Kentucky Bluegrass for example, then you need to next consult table 4 which is going to give you the timing of seeding both before and after.

But it takes much longer for the crabgrass to fully break down so likely some of it will still be there when you seed, just red and dead. Also of note, if you have crabgrass living after or during your seed grow in, you have to wait 28 days after emergence when you see it before spraying.

We recommend this product for a pre-emergent application at the time of seeding. It will suppress certain weeds in your grow in. What remains is bare soil to be overseeded. Read the label carefully and follow the instructions.

Spray when weeds are actively growing by late summer weeds have abundant, mature foliage. Skip one mowing before spraying so weed foliage offers maximum surface for the herbicide application. Plan to spray 10 to 14 days before the date scheduled for overseeding. Do not spray when rainfall is expected within six hours. Do not spray if winds exceed 5 mph to avoid drift onto other plants.

Do not walk on, or allow pets and children to walk on sprayed area for at least 12 hours; a 24 hour wait is better. Aerating the lawn is always beneficial and--if time and energy permit--while preparing for overseeding is a good time to do it. It is not essential to the success of overseeding, though. Punching holes in the turf soil by means of a mechanical or hand aerator introduces oxygen into the top layer where plant roots grow.

Existing grass benefits enormously. It also loosens the soil to make it easier for seeds to contact soil and sprout and new grass seedlings to become established.

The most important step in overseeding is preparing the seed bed with an existing turf already in place.
