FIVE REASONS WHY APPLYING FALL HERBICIDE IS A SMART MOVE 

Fall Herbicide Crop ApplicationControl: Once the crop canopy is removed, winter annuals and biennials soak up moisture and the last rays of sun before winter. In that window before freezing, some winter annuals are able to produce thousands of seeds. If you let the plants go to seed, you'll be fighting those weeds for years to come. A fall herbicide application helps control weeds before they become established.  

Timing:  A fall burnoff herbicide application post-harvest and before the temperature drops will remove later germinating weeds. This will help to greatly reduce weed biomass in the field. 

A soil-applied extended weed control herbicide application in the late fall starts working in the spring after the snow melts and/or spring rain. This creates a barrier that stops spring weeds from emerging. 

Weather Conditions: In Western Canada, fall weather conditions are often more favorable for herbicide application compared to other seasons. Cooler temperatures and higher humidity can enhance herbicide efficacy. 

Crop Rotation: Applying herbicides in fall allows for more effective weed control, allowing growers to plant a wider variety of crops in the next spring without being restricted by weed problems. 

Reduced Competition: Controlling weeds in the fall reduces competition for resources such as water, nutrients, and sunlight, which gives the crops a better chance to establish themselves and grow vigorously in the spring. 

Resistance Management: Continuous use of the same herbicides can lead to the development of herbicide-resistant weeds. Rotating herbicides and using them at different times of the year, including in the fall, can help manage herbicide resistance.
