Herbicides

Herbicides reduce competition from weeds during the growing season. They can also be applied prior to seeding to conserve moisture and limit erosion. If used pre-harvest, they can control late emerging weeds and can help the crop mature more uniformly. When used in the fall, they can reduce the infestation of late emerging weeds, biennials or winter annuals.
