Description
Vegetable & Ornamental Weeder is a pre-emergent herbicide that can be used to control grasses and weeds in your vegetable garden. It controls these weeds and grasses by killing the small seedlings as they germinate. It will not kill or control established vegetation. When used properly, it can provide consistent, long-lasting control of grasses and broadleaf weeds.
Apply Vegetable & Ornamental to the soil prior to planting. The soil should be cultivated and clean with any weed vegetation removed as this product will not eliminate existing weeds. After applying, weed Seeds that germinate will quickly die and make your garden much more manageable throughout the lifetime of your vegetable crops.
This product works great for vegetable crops that may take a long time to germinate. And while it will kill weed Seeds and grasses as they germinate, it will not affect the germination or growth of your vegetable crops. Use it with onions, carrots, beets when direct-seeding. It also is ideal for vining crops like winter squash, pumpkin and watermelon that are not able to be weeded once the plants start to sprawl along the ground.

- Asparagus — Can be applied to established asparagus as a single application, after ferns are removed, but before spear emergence.
