Be Grape Wise with Centrus Pre-Emergent Herbicide

With today’s special Grape Wise report from Helena Agri-Enterprises, we are joined by Paul Crout, Helena Agronomy Manger for the Western US. Paul let's begin by discussing the importance of weed management in vineyards during the fall-winter period.

"Weeds can directly compete with grapevines for water and nutrients, which can affect vine health and yield. Additionally, weeds can attract harmful insects, mites, nematodes, and diseases. If the under-vine berms are clean and weed-free, either through post-emergent herbicide control or under-vine cultivation during spring and summer, managing weeds in the fall-winter becomes much simpler. Centrus is an exceptional pre-emergent herbicide designed for grape growers. What sets Centrus apart is that it's the only dual-mode of action pre-emergent herbicide on the market today. It combines two proven herbicides to provide long-lasting weed control as well as complementary burndown activity. One of the active ingredients in Centrus restricts plant growth and inhibits cell division during germination, while the other ingredient hinders seed germination and root development. This combination offers safe and effective weed control for up to six months, reducing the need for additional treatments and saving both time and money for growers."
