[HEADLINE:] SHOULD YOU APPLY A PRE – EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT SEEING WEEDS?
“If there aren’t any weeds out there, do I really need to spend the time and resources putting down a pre-emergent herbicide?”
Here’s the harsh truth: you’ve always had weeds – and you always will. They just may have taken a while to wake up and start causing you grief. Weed seeds are notoriously resilient and will lie dormant in your soil for years – decades, even – just waiting for the right conditions to germinate and flourish.
Putting down a PRE herbicide prior to seeding – even when you don’t see weeds – sets up a layer of control by forming a protective barrier at or near the soil surface. Be as proactive as possible by protecting that early-season stand establishment and getting your crop off to a weed-free start.
