Description
OHP Casoron 4G is a powerful pre-emergent herbicide designed to control a wide variety of weeds in and around established woody landscape ornamentals, non-crop areas, fruit and nut trees, and respective nurseries. Formulated with dichlobenil as its active ingredient, Casoron 4G creates a vapor barrier in the soil that inhibits the germination and growth of weed seeds, effectively preventing weeds from emerging. With residual activity lasting up to 9-10 months, this herbicide provides long-term protection against weeds, minimizing the need for frequent applications.
This product is best applied in cool weather, typically in late fall or very early spring, ensuring optimal performance by allowing the herbicide to establish in the soil before weeds begin to sprout.
How Casoron 4G Works
The active ingredient in Casoron 4G, dichlobenil, works by inhibiting the development of root tips and growing points in emerging weed seeds:
- Inhibition of Cell Division: Dichlobenil disrupts cell division in meristematic tissues of germinating seeds and young roots, preventing weeds from establishing in treated areas.
- Pre-Emergent Control: As a pre-emergent herbicide, Casoron 4G is applied before weeds appear, effectively stopping them before they can compete with desirable plants for nutrients and space.
Application Guidelines
To achieve optimal results with OHP Casoron 4G, follow these recommended application steps:
- Timing: Apply Casoron 4G in late fall or early spring during cool weather conditions. This allows the herbicide to settle into the soil and create an effective vapor barrier before weeds begin to emerge.
- Application Rate: Spread Casoron 4G evenly over the target area, ensuring proper coverage. Refer to the product label for specific rates based on the type of area being treated and the level of weed pressure.
- Avoid Disturbance: After application, avoid disturbing the soil, as this may break the vapor barrier and reduce the effectiveness of the herbicide.
- Watering: After applying Casoron 4G, water the area lightly to help activate the herbicide and initiate the formation of the vapor barrier.
Safety and Usage Precautions
- For Established Plants Only: Casoron 4G should only be applied around established woody plants, as it may harm young or newly planted vegetation.
- Avoid Use Near Desirable Plant Roots: Take care to avoid applying Casoron 4G near the root zone of desirable plants, as the herbicide can affect root development.
