To the best of my knowledge, soybean meal has no pre-emergent qualities. All meal products add organic value in the form of protein as a source of food for soil microbes. Soybean meal's analysis as a fertilizer is approx 6-1-2, meaning that if you applied it at a rate of 15 lb / 1000 sq ft (650 lb / acre), you'd yield very close to 1 lb of N ...
I don't know what soybean extract is. I am currently using soy bean meal because I got a deal on it. There is no "one" perfect organic material. A variety is best. Back before we took over our lawn management from Mother Nature, she fertilized with dead animals. They provided hair, bones, blood, skin, paunch manure, and a bunch of enzymes.

It might turn a little yellow or even brown, but grows back pretty fast. The granular form on fertilizer is not as hot as a spray application. Especially if you stayed within the label rates of the fertilizer. When atrazine is being used to kill bermuda in St Augustine, that involves high rates applied 30 days apart and in combination with ...
And you can be like some of the do-it-yourself organic lawn care neighbors on my street, who drive out to the rural CO-OP every spring with their pick-ups or SUVs and get 10-15 fifty pound assorted bags of corn gluten, corn meal, soybean meal, and alfalfa meal to stack in their garages or sheds, to use as fertilizer...instead of the overpriced ...

Apply seed at 1.5 times the recommended amount. Top dress with sand or compost at 1 cubic yard per 1,000 square feet mixed with 10 pounds of organic fertilizer or alfalfa meal per cubic yard (don't use corn meal) Roll down with a water filled roller. Water twice a day for the first three days. Water once a day after the first three days until ...
So 2.25 ounces of Scotts per 100 sqft would be 22.5 ounces per 1000 sqft. Dividing by 16 that would be about 1.4 pounds per thousand sqft. But you are using a measuring cup based on volume ounces not weight ounces. Call the manufacturer and find the specific gravity or volume per pound of the product in question.
Fertilizer bags do not usually have a suggested setting for ride-on spreaders--their speed is much faster. Add full bag. Guess at the setting; (say 1.7). Spread until the hopper is empty. Measure the grass area covered. Suppose you covered 10,000 sqft. 50 pounds divided by 10 K equals 5 pounds per thousand sqft.
