Timing is Key for Controlling Mequite
Sendero herbicide has proven to be more consistent and more efficacious than a mixture of Remedy® Ultra and Reclaim® herbicides.1 But even with this effective tool for mesquite control, land managers and applicators still need to make applications at the right times.
To control mesquite with Sendero, or any herbicide, soil temperature should be at least 75 F. Avoid treating in low humidity, during drought stress or after a big rain following a dry period. Avoid spraying during active bean elongation of mesquite trees.
