What is the timing for the application of Verdict Herbicide?

The correct timing for the application of Verdict Herbicide is during the PRE (pre-emergence) phase. When applied PRE, Verdict helps control a broad spectrum of weeds before they emerge from the soil. This application timing is critical as it allows the herbicide to be active in the soil, targeting weed seeds and preventing their germination and establishment.

This method is often preferred for effective weed management because it can minimize competition for nutrients and light from emerging crops, thus promoting healthier crop growth. Other application timings, such as POST (post-emergence), require that the weeds have already germinated and are actively growing, which can sometimes lead to reduced efficacy, particularly for larger or perennial weeds. The preplant timing is used to prepare the soil before planting, while burn down applications target existing weeds prior to planting but do not align with the primary use and purpose of Verdict in controlling weed emergence pre-planting or pre-crop establishment.
