Selective Post-Emergent

Category: science

An herbicide engineered to target and destroy active weeds while leaving the surrounding turfgrass completely unharmed.

Selective herbicides leverage specific botanical differences to isolate targets. For example, a broadleaf selective post-emergent will destroy dandelions, clover, and wild violet weeds by disrupting their internal hormone systems, without harming monocot grass blades.

Common Examples

• We sprayed a selective post-emergent across the zone to eradicate the clover outbreak without damaging the primary fescue yard.
• Ensure wind speeds are below five miles per hour before spraying a selective post-emergent to prevent chemical drift onto ornamental garden beds.
