Lush Lawns

Dow AgroSciences Products Improve Quality, Stop Weeds

Spring brings warmer days, green lawns, and blooming flowers. Unfortunately, it also brings dandelions and crabgrass to unprotected lawns.

Attractive green lawns don't just happen - they require some work and know-how. By using a combination of chemicals, irrigation, weeding and aeration, you can beautify your lawn and eliminate these pesky weeds.

There is nothing dandy about a lawn full of dandelions and crabgrass. Dow AgroSciences LLC manufactures different ingredients that homeowners can use or ask for when needing to prevent crabgrass and fight off dandelions.

One of those ingredients is dithiopyr, which is found in products such as Dimension* specialty herbicide. Dithiopyr is a crabgrass preventer offering you the best way to eliminate crabgrass from your lawn. That's because it offers advantages no other lawn product can provide: it doesn't stain, it keeps on working on other weeds (goosegrass, spurge and oxalis) for up to five months, and you can apply it even after crabgrass has sprouted. You can purchase dithiopyr-containing products at hardware stores or lawn care centers.

Healthy lawns can prevent soil erosion, purify groundwater, and cool the air and, in the long run, contribute to thriving trees and ornamental plants.
