Will Dicamba in Weed Control prevent from Weed Sprouting?

I read that a chemical called Dicamba (found in such products as Liquid Weed n'Feed) is used to control broadleaf weeds before and after they sprout. From what i understand chemicals like 2,4D is only good after they sprout (you would use 2,4D on these weeds leaves to kill them) and so was surprised to come across diacamba. Are there consquences to using this substance (assumign it si available in Canada) on my lawn?





Or will it kill my lawn in the process of killing the weeds too?

If the seed is in place but has not germinated, yes dicamba will prevent the seed from growing. However, if the seed finds its way there after the treatment, it will still germinate. (unless the product you buy states it does have a residual effect)
