Defendor specialty herbicide from Dow AgroSciences gives lawn care operators a head start on broadleaf weed control when it’s too cold for other postemergent herbicides to be effective. Offering early season control of unsightly dandelions, clover and other annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, Defendor can help reduce callbacks and minimize complaints. Defendor can be tank-mixed with Dimension 2EW specialty herbicide and applied at the same time lawn care operators are putting down the first fertilizer and preemergent crabgrass applications of the season. In addition, Defendor provides activity at extremely low use rates (0.013 lb. ai/A) when compared with other postemergent herbicides.
