Fall Weed Control

The first day of fall has just past and that means we are in the perfect window to target perennial and winter annual weeds. As the temperature falls and day length shortens, plants store carbohydrates for the impending winter. Plants also limit their top growth and increase root production. We can use this to our advantage. Fall herbicide applications are highly successful because the plant helps to carry the active ingredients to the roots and ensure a complete kill. A well-timed herbicide application this time of year can reduce or eliminate many weed problems in the spring.
