It delivers a three-part performance: it blocks common spring and summer weeds from developing, supplies nutrients that encourage seedling growth, and helps young turf resist heat and moisture stress as it becomes established. The product is safe for use on a variety of cool- and warm-season grasses when used as directed, and one 17.2 lb. bag treats up to 4,000 square feet.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this product keep weeds out while new grass grows?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotts Triple Action contains a pre-emergent ingredient that interferes with weed seed development so common invaders like dandelion and crabgrass fail to emerge or quickly weaken.

It suits yards seeded with Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, centipedegrass, and fine fescues, and is practical for those who prefer a single product that combines pre-emergent protection with starter nutrition.

When combined with correct seed selection, watering, and mowing, this bag can help new turf establish faster and hold off many common weed invaders.\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB08KH1RYW3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use this product on newly seeded lawns?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
