GENERAL INFORMATION

 

TREFLAN E.C. is a preemergence herbicide which is incorporated (mixed) into the soil to provide a long-lasting control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. TREFLAN E.C. controls weeds by killing their seeds as they germinate. It does not control established weeds. Incorporation of TREFLAN E.C. helps assure effective weed control regardless of weather conditions and permits shallow cultivation, rotary hoeing and hand hoeing without reducing its weed control activity.

 

TREFLAN E.C. is recommended for use on a wide variety of vegetables, ornamental trees, ornamental groundcovers, shrubs and flowers. The ornamental species on which TREFLAN E.C. can be used at recommended rates without damage include those listed in label under “Approved Ornamental Species.”
