Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)Infobox references Dithiopyr is a chemical used as an preemergent herbicide used to prevent crabgrass seeds from sprouting in the spring.[1] Dithiopyr may alter microtubule polymerization and stability by "interacting with microtubule associated proteins and/or microtubule organizing centers rather than interaction directly with tubulin."[2]
It is an ingredient in many products including Dimension (herbicide) <sm>(a brand name)</sm> from Monsanto.[3]

"Most of the products that prevent crabgrass contain Dimension (chemical name — dithiopyr) or Barricade (chemical name — prodiamine). Both of these chemicals work well and are long-lasting, so they stop crabgrass throughout the summer."
