From the critical September pre-emergence application to winter transition and spring cleanup, they outline a three-window approach designed to improve control while diversifying modes of action and helping slow herbicide resistance. As they put it: “When did Noah build the Ark? Before the rain.” Plan early. Rotate chemistry. Stay ahead of resistance.
