Can I use Etho and Meso again to fix patches in a recently sowed lawn?

Hey team,
Lawn Reno 4 weeks in.
Ive used RSR perennial ryegrass, applied Etho and Meso together at sowing.
I applied approximately 75 mL Etho and the appropriate Meso rate over 187 m².
Im now four weeks on, with good germination in some areas but significant patchiness.
When can I safely overseed after my original Etho and Meso application.
Cheers,
Mike

    Both Etho and Meso have pre-emergent activity in the soil, so they can be applied again at the time of overseeding,

    The main one to watch is Meso. If your existing ryegrass seedlings haven’t been mowed at least a couple of times, another application could negatively affect the young grass. You will also get some bleaching on the original lawn even if you do wait the couple of mows.

    If you pre-germinate some seed you shouldn’t really need to do more Etho & Meso applications just yet.

    I’d also give it a chance, you’ll be suprised how much that will thicken up with regular mowing.
