Herbicides represent important tools to manage unwanted plants (weeds) in Landscapes and Nurseries. Herbicides are especially efficient and efficacious in lieu of physical means. Unfortunately, mistakes do happen. And when herbicide mistakes happen, they often present HUGE problems for our industry. Mistakes may occur from supplier advice, our failure to thoroughly read and understand herbicide labels, notoriously confusing labels, uncontrollable variables such as weather, and misapplication, among other contributors. Manufacturers of herbicides sometimes market different active ingredients under the same brand name, leading to misunderstandings by professional applicators and lay people alike.

This program will disclose some of The Plant Doctor’s experiences with herbicide toxicity to plants over the past year or so.
