Maximizing Preemergent Herbicide Applications

Controlling weeds early is key to protecting a crop’s yield potential. Weed control programs that start with effective preplant/preemergence applications help to maximize net returns for the grower.

Weeds that germinate, emerge and grow with the crop cause the most yield loss, so getting ahead of them is essential. Preplant and preemergent herbicides can provide critical early season weed control when crops are most vulnerable to competition and weeds are easiest to treat. Preemergence herbicides can be especially effective on glyphosate-resistant weeds, such as waterhemp, Palmer amaranth and ragweed.
