Herbicide Application

Herbicide application is the process of applying chemical or organic substances to control or eliminate unwanted plants, commonly known as weeds, in the landscape. This maintenance task involves selecting the appropriate herbicide for the target weeds and applying it according to the product instructions, either by spraying directly onto the weeds or applying it to the soil to prevent weed germination. Herbicides can be selective, targeting specific types of weeds, or non-selective, affecting all plants they come into contact with. Timing and proper application are critical to avoid damage to desirable plants and to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment. Regular herbicide application, when necessary, helps maintain a weed-free landscape, reducing competition for resources and enhancing the appearance and health of the garden.
