Preemergent herbicides are a form of chemical weed control which prevent germinated weed seedlings from becoming established. In some areas of the world, they are used to prevent crabgrass from appearing in lawns. [1] Preemergent herbicides are applied to lawns in the spring and autumn, to prevent the establishment of weed seeds. They will not ...

Preemergence: Preemergence herbicides are applied before the weed seedlings emerge through the soil surface. Herbicides do not prevent weeds from germinating but they kill weeds as they grow through the herbicide-treated zone by affecting the cell division in the emerging seedling. Dithiopyr and pendimethalin are preemergence herbicides. Weeds ...

Preemergence herbicides form the backbone of weed control programs. They do not control all weed seeds that may be present in a landscape, but they are effective for many of the most common weeds.
Trifluralin is a common pre-emergent selective herbicide, a dinitroaniline.With about 14 million pounds (6,400 t) used in the United States in 2001, [3] and 3–7 million pounds (1,400–3,200 t) in 2012, [4] it is one of the most widely used herbicides.
To prevent those cool-season annual grassy weeds you apply any of the same preemergent granules, except instead of doing so in the spring, you do it between Aug. 25 and Sept. 5. So, three ...
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors (HPPD inhibitors) are a class of herbicides that prevent growth in plants by blocking 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, an enzyme in plants that breaks down the amino acid tyrosine into molecules that are then used by plants to create other molecules that plants need.
