Squeezed between the two is the Merit app for grubs. I'd have to look at the cost of doing the split application for crab/spring fert. That'd be double the labor, and likely more expensive buying two seperate products rather than one. But...it would give greater control over the amount of N applied, as you suggest.

The cost of product would be less........No need for preventer in shade. Can even reduce rate for lawns that you have had under control for a few years, just apply at label rates in the prone locations.

Although labor is more intensive......more responsible.
