Selecting Herbicides for the Vineyard

Many cold climate vineyards choose to use herbicides because they are an efficient way to control weeds. Between all the different trade names and chemical names for herbicides, selecting the right ones can be confusing. Smart herbicide use means applying pre- and post-emergent herbicides that are effective for the weeds in your vineyard, at the right times, and avoiding injury to the grapevines. From this webinar, participants will gain a better understanding of how to select the right products for your cold climate vineyard.
