How long after applying Etho and Meso can you scarify and overseed a lawn?
Is there any stand down time after applying Etho & MESO to scarify and overseed using NZLA Perennial Rye? I sprayed both and looking to overseed after 10 days. Cheers
Hey mate, just wondering what the reasoning was behind applying Etho and Meso so far in advance before scarifying and overseeding?
Personally, I would have scarified, seeded and then applied Etho and Meso afterwards as pre-emergents ( same as it says in the NZLA renovation guide) . You’ll generally get better results doing it this way.
Scarifying is going to disturb the soil surface, potentially bring more weed seeds to the surface and disrupt the existing pre-emergent barrier for the last application creating opportunities for weed germination.
For that reason, I’d personally look at applying Etho and Meso again at the time of scarifying and seeding
There’s no specific stand-down period for sowing perennial ryegrass with these products as they’re both compatible with perennial ryegrass germination.
