Planting Preparation

Post Planting Maintenance
Once the plants establish and emerge, a follow up preventative release spray is often needed, sometimes 2 years after initial planting. Regular site visits are made to ensure appropriate weed management decisions are made. Typically weeds should not be allowed to grow more than 15cm high around the plant in the first year of growth. This is to ensure maximum kill when spraying.
