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.
