It is essential for superintendents to have a working knowledge of modes of action for fungicides, insecticides and herbicides to aid in the tank-mixing process. These codes, represented as Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) codes, Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) codes and Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) codes, are typically listed on product labels.

Barricade 4FL and Barricade 65WG are premier pre-emergent herbicides that deliver low-rate, season-long efficacy against more than 30 of the most troublesome weeds, including crabgrass, chickweed, oxalis, Poa annua and spurge. Both products are non-staining, easy-to-use formulation that offers the maximum convenience.

Keep Weeds Out of Your Operation

To help maximize plant production, it is critical to keep your nursery free of weeds that can compete with plants for valuable nutrients and act as hosts for diseases and insects. Implement a weed management program that includes pre-emergent herbicides to control grassy and broadleaf weeds. For successful control, pre-emergent herbicides should be applied weeks in advance of seed germination to allow time for product activation.
