Under vine weed control and sucker management in vineyards
Grass and weed control under vine, as well as, sucker management are common concerns for vineyard operations.

In addition to having a reverse residual effect to the soil, there is a growing awareness of synthetic chemical residue in grapes and/or wine. The challenge that vineyard managers must meet is to effectively control the unwanted grass and weeds without the adverse side effects of synthetic chemicals.
Many grass and weed species are developing resistance to synthetic chemicals. Some species being resistant to multiple modes of action. FireHawk Bioherbicide is quickly being recognized as a beneficial tool in managing resistant grass and weed species. Ryegrass is one species that has demonstrated resistance to the world's most widely used herbicide.
