Selective Herbicides
Controls specific types of vegetation used to selectively kill or manage certain plant(s), while not harming others. Selectivity can be chemically or application method derived.
Post-emergence Control
Products that control weeds after they emerge can be foliar and/or soil active to kill existing growth. It causes brownout and visible vegetation damage.
Pre-emergence Treatment
Soil active (residual) herbicide options are applied prior to plant emergence or seed germination. They act on plant seeds as or before they germinate, preventing growth.
Georgia Commercial Weed Control Herbicides & Vegetation Killer for Industrial Vegetation Management
Herbicides for Industrial Weed Control
IVM (Integrated vegetation management) Practices: How do Herbicides Fit in?
As a commercial property manager, keeping your properties free of weeds is a constant challenge. Traditional postemergence herbicides, which kill foliage on contact, are effective in eliminating existing weed growth, but do not prevent new germination. This means that regular spraying is necessary to maintain a weed-free environment. At VegClear, we understand this challenge. We have developed a solution that is both effective and efficient. Our non-Roundup postemergence products are designed for initial vegetation knock down. They can be combined with a preemergence herbicide additive, which significantly reduces the frequency of recurring spray treatments. Additionally, our approach to spot treating existing growth, rather than blanket spraying an entire area, ensures that the herbicide is only applied where it is needed. Thus, reducing the amount of herbicide concentrate used. By gradually building a preventative barrier to the ground, our method can limit herbicide application and prevent oversaturation, while still effectively preventing weed intrusion.
If you are looking for a comprehensive and effective weed control solution for your commercial properties, look no further than VegClear. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you maintain a weed-free environment with minimal effort.
As a commercial property manager or an industrial facilities supervisor, maintaining a weed-free environment in bare ground areas such as gravel yards, fence lines, and driveways can be difficult. Traditional postemergence sprays alone are not used alone to achieve long-term results. We understand this challenge and for areas that require longer term control, we have developed a comprehensive vegetation control approach to growth management that utilizes targeted long-lasting soil active products. Our proprietary tank mixes contain a combination of Glufosinate, Imazapyr, Triclopyr, or Diquat at precise levels, which provides a multi-tiered approach to controlling weeds long term. Our residual applications last no more than a year, by design, after spraying. This approach provides a barrier for an entire growing season in the Southeast.
One key benefit of our approach is the use of a smaller amount of chemical concentrate than using any one of these products alone. Depending on the application, these active ingredients are used at varying concentrations, ensuring that the goal of reduced and eliminated vegetation is achieved in the most environmentally friendly way possible.
Ideal conditions for application include bare, moist soil or several hours prior to expected light rainfall. The combination of preventatives and postemergence knockdown herbicides deliver an effective kill to existing plants, and also ensures the sprayed vegetation will not recover. As a bonus, the soil is enriched with simple compounds that stop seedlings in their tracks upon germination, leading to long-term control of weeds. If you are looking for a comprehensive and effective weed control solution for your commercial properties, look no further than VegClear. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you maintain a weed-free environment with minimal effort.
Foliar and systemic spray products are two of the most common products in industrial vegetation management, providing fast-acting and targeted results. Foliar spray products work on contact, and are applied directly to the leaves or blades of the target vegetation to produce a kill at the site of absorption intended to minimize effects to non target plants. However, due to the touch and kill nature of these herbicides, caution must be taken by the applicator as to not over-spray or introduce drift that contacts other plants or to non-target low growing plants on the soil below and around the site of treatment.
On the other hand, systemic herbicides are absorbed into the plant and transferred throughout internal carrier systems. This type of herbicide requires only a portion of the healthy, actively growing, foliage to be in contact with the applied herbicide in order to produce a kill of the entire target plant. Systemic herbicides are generally more effective than foliar, but the rate of brown out, or visual decline of the vegetation, is slower, therefore it is usually only used when quick visual confirmation isn't a requirement and the property manager understands the thorough, yet progressive nature of a more holistic control process.
VegClear provides professional services to assess each job and commercial property in order to determine which type of product should be used, taking into consideration the unique pros and cons of each method. Through our years of expertise, businesses and municipalities can be sure of the most effective, safe, and efficient industrial vegetation management on their site.
Safety is a top priority for VegClear and our crews, clients, and local residents. We use only EPA-approved herbicides for industrial vegetation management. These products are effective and non-carcinogenic (based on published EPA underlying scientific findings), and break down in the environment quickly to reduce soil erosion. We offer various formulations of non-Roundup herbicides, including liquid concentrate, solid, granular, and ready-to-use liquid. Our applications are suitable for agricultural, commercial and right-of-way settings using various methods, including hand sprays, broadcast sprayers, shielded and hooded devices. Additionally, we rely on precise applicators, drip and sponge bars, and controlled droplet tools. This provides a safe, reliable, and cost-effective solution to managing invasive and noxious weeds in a variety of settings, and is an integral part of integrated pest management. By using these approaches, we can reduce the need for mechanical methods to maintain natural areas, making industrial vegetation management an important part of environmental conservation.
TVC Bareground Non-Selective (Total Vegetation Control) Herbicide
Industrial vegetation management and bare ground weed control services are an effective and cost-efficient solution for eliminating unwanted plants and weeds. Bareground herbicides, also known as soil sterilants, are chemical products that provide total vegetation control (TVC) when applied according to label instructions. These herbicides can last for long periods of time and can prevent germination for several months up to a year.
Bareground herbicide management must consider a number of factors, one of them being preventing herbicide resistance to target and non target vegetation on the treated property. Critical to the long term success of a specific commercial vegetation control program, as well as industry execution as a whole, is varying the mode of action (PDF) throughout a program's existence.
Industrial vegetation management and bare ground weed control services are an ideal solution for preventing damage and obstructions caused by vegetation, as well as for providing safety to crews in certain areas. When applied strategically and with extensive training, bare ground herbicides can provide long-term benefits and cost savings, making them an attractive option for many businesses seeking a weed control service provider.
VegClear Utilizes Selective & Non Selective Herbicides
VEGETATION CONTROL HERBICIDES suitable for Industrial, Commercial and multiuse Properties
There are several dozen USDA, EPA, & State approved non-restricted herbicides that are used to control most all types of unwanted vegetation on commercial property. The list below includes some of the more commonly used products and active ingredients available to meet the needs of industrial grounds and commercial property managers. Some are selective herbicides and other products are non selective herbicides (meaning they provide TVC, Total Vegetation Control) with as few as one to two applications. Depending on the scope of the project, VegClear Technicians utilize a precision mixture of from one to several of these products at varied concentrations for combined applications from a single tank mix applied in tandem. In other cases, depending on whether specific chemicals need to be applied unmixed, individual follow up applications are scheduled and sprayed back to back, usually about a month apart. There are many considerations for strategic application of the right chemicals, in the right amounts, in the right order, at the right time of year. All these combine to structure a successful vegetation control program on your site. If you'd like to discuss your project, Contact Us today.

Arsenal Isopropylamine salt of Imazapyr Herbicide
Arsenal Isopropylamine salt of Imazapyr Herbicide controls trees and brush alongside trimming or when traditional mechanical methods are insufficient. Non herbicide mitigation causes re-sprouts and increased stem densities leading to more mowing. These costs can be overcome with property applications of this product. Herbicide-based programs with Arsenal control a broad spectrum of brush species and helps reduce costs. Arsenal prevents re-sprouting, eliminates re-treats and saves money on treatment and labor. And, because Arsenal is a low-volume herbicide, it helps manage public concerns and wildlife habitats as well. Imazapyr is not a contact killer. It works through the ground, so it can take a while to kill existing weeds. Most brands containing Imazapyr are low-volume use herbicides, which helps manage public concerns and wildlife habitats as well.
