The primary reasons to develop a strong preemergence herbicide program are 1) Decreased phytotoxicity (plant damage) to landscape plants and 2) Reducing the amount of times required to visit a property. With the difficulty of attracting quality labor in our industry, time…Read more about Single or Split Application of Preemergence Herbicides: Controlling while extending control[Read More]
