Effects of Lawn Herbicide on Landscape Trees & Shrubs

Description

This lunch & learn presentation focuses on the potential for lawn herbicides to affect non-target trees and woody ornamentals in landscape settings due to poor application choices by homeowners and professionals. This is an issue that is commonly encountered in the landscape and arboriculture industry, as seen by numerous plant samples submitted to local Extension offices diagnosed with phenoxy herbicide injury. The purpose of this presentation is to raise awareness about this important issue and provide practical tips on avoiding potential damage and liability. Presented by Paul Pugliese, UGA Bartow County Extension.
