Industrial Vegetation Management
There’s a balance needed when it comes to developing an effective vegetation management program. The evolution and proliferation of herbicide-resistant weeds can be a real challenge for land managers. By creating an integrated vegetation management plan with Envu herbicides that employ multiple modes of action, they can help eliminate weeds and prevent herbicide-resistant weeds from developing.
First, we’ll start with the basics. Herbicide resistance is the inherited ability of an individual plant to survive a herbicide application that would kill normal plants of the same species. When plants survive a herbicide application, they then germinate and reproduce those resistance traits, making weeds harder than ever to eliminate. By using diverse herbicides or herbicide mixtures with different modes of action, land managers can reduce overreliance on any single herbicide. This can minimize the likelihood of selection pressure for resistance.
That’s why we recommend utilizing a Envu integrated vegetation management program that includes both preemergent and postemergent herbicide applications. Envu herbicide mix recommendations will also contain multiple modes of action, creating the best solution for managing weeds and preventing herbicide resistance from developing.
