Pesticide and Herbicide Use
This publication or page may report research involving pesticides and herbicides. It

uses discussed here have been registered. All uses of herbicides and pesticides must be
registered by appropriate State and/or Federal agencies before they can be

Caution-
Herbicides and pesticides can be injurious to humans,
domestic animals, desirable plants, and fish or other wildlife--if they
are not handled or applied properly. Use all herbicides selectively and
carefully. Follow recommended practices for the disposal of surplus
herbicides, pesticides and their respective containers.
