Fungicides
Prevent and treat fungal diseases that cause leaf spots, blights, rusts, and molds. Timing is critical since many fungal diseases spread in warm, humid conditions.
Herbicides
Control unwanted weeds and vegetation that compete with your crops for resources. They can be applied pre-emergence or post-emergence.
Insecticides
Eliminate or repel harmful insects that feed on crops, damage plant tissue, or transmit diseases. Different formulations target specific pest species and life stages.
When to Apply Crop Protection Products
Timing matters. Many crop protection products work best when applied preventatively or at the first sign of problems, not after significant damage has occurred.
Early Season (Spring)
- Pre-emergence herbicides before weed seeds germinate
- Preventative fungicide applications in humid conditions
- Early insect pest monitoring and treatment
Mid-Season (Summer)
- Post-emergence weed control as needed
- Fungicide applications during disease-favorable weather
- Ongoing insect pest management
Late Season (Fall)
- Final weed control before harvest
- Disease prevention on maturing crops
- Fall cleanup and preparation for next season
