For southern grasses including: St. Augustine, Bermuda and Zoysia
February to Early March (Optional) – The Early Green-up! Done with fast-acting 15-5-10 formula. (Preferably Nitro-Phos Imperial 15-5-10)
February to Early March – 2-in-1 pre-emergent herbicide (Preferably Barricade or Dimension-based)
March to April (Anytime in spring) – Trace mineral supplementation. After years of rains, floods and droughts, we should be adding trace minerals that help fertilizers do their job. Azomite, Soil Mender, Nature's Way Resources and others offer them in bags.
End of March to Early April – Spring fertilization with slow- or controlled-release 3-1-2 or 4-1-2 ratios, such as Nitro-Phos Super Turf 19-4-10, Easy Gro Premium 19-5-9, and Fertilome Southwest Greenmaker 18-4-6. Fertilome also has a zero-phosphorus 18-0-6 formula, but it's not widely marketed.
End of April to May – 2-in-1 pre-emergent herbicide (Barricade or Dimension-based)
June to Early July – Summer fertilization with same slow- or controlled-release fertilizers from spring
August (Optional) – Iron supplementation, specifically for those using heavy irrigation and seeing yellowing grass
September (Optional) – Fungicide for brownpatch
September to October (Optional) – Trace minerals supplementation (Truly helps the upcoming fall feeding)
October – Pre-emergent herbicide (Barricade or Dimension-based)
October (Optional) – Fungicide for brownpatch
October to November – Fall feeding or winterizer (Use ratios with higher-than-normal potassium - the third number - such as Nitro-Phos Fall Special 8-12-16)

I'm not thrilled with the barricade I laid down for winter. Still seeing a fair amount of clover but not as much as last year. Perhaps my coverage was not good? Since my bermuda is fully dormant I'm just waiting for things to dry out after a week of rain and plan to bust out the roundup sprayer on anything that's green.
Will do Surflan again next month as that absolutely eliminated my sand burrs last summer. This year I will buy extra and spray a few yards into the road/ditch along my property line that our developer barely mows and never sprays. That thing is full of the little boogers.
