Agronomy Update: Fall Burndown. Get ahead of weeds this fall!

A successful growing season starts with effective weed management. Fall burndown applications help control tough winter annuals and perennial weeds before they become harder to manage in the spring.

Why Consider Fall Burndown?

• Better Weed Control: Target troublesome weeds like marestail, dandelion, and henbit while they're easier to control.
• Improved Spring Field Conditions: Reduce weed competition and help soils warm and dry faster.
• Faster Spring Planting: Minimize weed-related planting delays and improve seedbed preparation.
• A Cleaner Start: Certain residual herbicides can extend weed control into spring.
