Growers have multiple tools available to them to control weeds and help reduce the risk of developing herbicide-resistant weeds. Integrated weed management includes following proper stewardship practices before, during, and after the application of crop protection products. Responsible use of weed control technologies is essential to help ensure that growers can count on them for years to come.
Remember, a pesticide applicator must always follow all product label requirements for all crop protection products.
