What Is Post-Emergent Weed Application

What​ ​Is​ ​Post-Emergent​ ​Weed​ ​Application?

A​ ​nice,​ ​well-manicured​ ​lawn​ ​or​ ​garden​ ​can​ ​be​ ​a​ ​centerpiece​ ​for​ ​any​ ​home​ ​during​ ​the​ ​spring​ ​and summer​ ​months.​ ​Unfortunately,​ ​weeds​ ​can​ ​taint​ ​lawns​ ​and​ ​gardens​ ​to​ ​the​ ​point​ ​they​ ​become eyesores.

Fortunately,​ ​post-emergent​ ​weed​ ​applications​ ​can​ ​be​ ​of​ ​assistance​ ​in​ ​helping​ ​a​ ​gardener​ ​and/or homeowner​ ​win​ ​the​ ​battle​ ​against​ ​pesky​ ​weeds.

What​ ​Is​ ​the​ ​Definition​ ​of​ ​Post-Emergent?

When​ ​describing​ ​weed​ ​killers,​ ​post-emergent​ ​references​ ​the​ ​herbicide's​ ​ability​ ​to​ ​eliminate weeds​ ​after​ ​they​ ​have​ ​already​ ​formed​ ​and​ ​are​ ​visible​ ​on​ ​lawns​ ​or​ ​inside​ ​gardens.​ ​These

chemicals​ ​differ​ ​from​ ​pre-emergent​ ​weed​ ​eradicating​ ​applications,​ ​which​ ​are​ ​employed​ ​to​ ​kill weeds​ ​before​ ​they​ ​grow.​ ​Post-emergent​ ​preparations​ ​not​ ​only​ ​eradicate​ ​existing​ ​weeds,​ ​but may​ ​be​ ​of​ ​use​ ​in​ ​preventing​ ​future​ ​weed​ ​growth.

How​ ​Do​ ​Post-Emergent​ ​Weed​ ​Killers​ ​Work?

These​ ​herbicides​ ​eliminate​ ​weeds​ ​in​ ​one​ ​of​ ​two​ ​ways.​ ​Some​ ​possess​ ​the​ ​ability​ ​to​ ​attack​ ​the

offending​ ​weed​ ​directly,​ ​while​ ​others​ ​morph​ ​into​ ​a​ ​particular​ ​plant's​ ​root​ ​and​ ​attack​ ​it​ ​from​ ​the ground​ ​up.

What​ ​Are​ ​the​ ​Different​ ​Types​ ​Of​ ​Post-Emergent​ ​Weed​ ​Killers?

These​ ​substances​ ​are​ ​broken​ ​down​ ​into​ ​two​ ​major​ ​categories: o​​ ​ ​ ​Systemic​ ​Herbicides o​​ ​ ​ ​Contact​ ​Herbicides

Systemic​ ​herbicides​ ​penetrate​ ​a​ ​weed​ ​and​ ​eradicate​ ​it​ ​by​ ​destroying​ ​it​ ​in​ ​its​ ​entirety.​ ​Contact Herbicides​ ​are​ ​often​ ​potent​ ​enough​ ​to​ ​kill​ ​a​ ​weed​ ​on​ ​contact.

Post-emergent​ ​weed​ ​applications​ ​may​ ​also​ ​be​ ​labeled​ ​as​ ​selective​ ​and​ ​non-selective:

Selective​ ​herbicides​ ​are​ ​typically​ ​used​ ​to​ ​eliminate​ ​specific​ ​weeds​ ​collecting​ ​on​ ​smaller,​ ​grassy areas.​ ​Non-selective​ ​weed​ ​preparations​ ​are​ ​often​ ​successful​ ​in​ ​eradicating​ ​most​ ​weeds​ ​and employed​ ​in​ ​larger​ ​areas,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​fields.

Types​ ​of​ ​Weeds​ ​Post-Emergent​ ​Weed​ ​Applications​ ​Eliminate

Post-emergent​ ​chemical​ ​preparations​ ​are​ ​effective​ ​in​ ​killing​ ​perennial​ ​weeds,​ ​including

Quackgrass,​ ​Bindweed,​ ​Nutsedge​ ​and​ ​Thistle.​ ​They​ ​will​ ​also​ ​kill​ ​annual,​ ​leaf-shaped​ ​plants

which​ ​do​ ​not​ ​have​ ​the​ ​appearance​ ​of​ ​grass​ ​and​ ​weeds​ ​like​ ​Crabgrass,​ ​which​ ​does​ ​resemble grass.

How​ ​to​ ​Properly​ ​Utilize​ ​Post-Emergent​ ​Weed​ ​Preparations

Post-emergent​ ​herbicides​ ​must​ ​be​ ​employed​ ​with​ ​caution,​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​under​ ​the​ ​most​ ​optimal conditions.​ ​Once​ ​the​ ​particular​ ​weed(s)​ ​is/are​ ​identified​ ​and​ ​the​ ​appropriate​ ​weed​ ​killer​ ​has

been​ ​obtained,​ ​one​ ​must​ ​carefully​ ​determine​ ​how​ ​quickly​ ​and​ ​often​ ​the​ ​chemicals​ ​should​ ​be applied.

In​ ​addition,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​important​ ​to​ ​ensure​ ​proper​ ​safeguards​ ​are​ ​taken​ ​to​ ​ensure​ ​surrounding​ ​grass, flowers​ ​or​ ​useable​ ​plants​ ​do​ ​not​ ​come​ ​into​ ​contact​ ​with​ ​any​ ​anti-weed​ ​application.

It​ ​is​ ​suggested​ ​the​ ​chemicals​ ​be​ ​placed​ ​on​ ​a​ ​dry,​ ​windless​ ​day​ ​with​ ​outside​ ​temperatures​ ​not exceeding​ ​80​ ​degrees​ ​Fahrenheit.​ ​The​ ​application​ ​will​ ​need​ ​time​ ​to​ ​settle​ ​onto​ ​its​ ​intended

target.​ ​The​ ​specific​ ​length​ ​of​ ​time​ ​required​ ​varies​ ​depending​ ​upon​ ​the​ ​chemical​ ​being​ ​used,​ ​as well​ ​as​ ​the​ ​specific​ ​weed​ ​in​ ​question.

It​ ​is​ ​important​ ​to​ ​follow​ ​the​ ​instructions​ ​provided​ ​by​ ​the​ ​application's​ ​manufacturer.​ ​Last,​ ​but​ ​of great​ ​significance​ ​are​ ​the​ ​safety​ ​precautions​ ​one​ ​spraying​ ​weed​ ​killers​ ​should​ ​adhere​ ​to:

Post-emergent​ ​weed​ ​applications​ ​are​ ​poisonous​ ​substances​ ​that​ ​could​ ​cause​ ​respiratory

problems​ ​and​ ​skin​ ​irritation​ ​if​ ​inhaled​ ​or​ ​make​ ​contact​ ​with​ ​one's​ ​skin.​ ​Individuals​ ​engaging​ ​in lawn​ ​or​ ​garden​ ​weed​ ​eradication​ ​measures​ ​should​ ​cover​ ​their​ ​mouths​ ​and​ ​wear​ ​clothing​ ​that covers​ ​their​ ​skin.

Where​ ​Can​ ​Post-Emergent​ ​Weed​ ​Applications​ ​Be​ ​Obtained?

Weed​ ​killing​ ​chemicals​ ​can​ ​be​ ​purchased​ ​at​ ​most​ ​lawn​ ​and​ ​gardening​ ​centers,​ ​or​ ​at​ ​many​ ​home improvement​ ​stores.
