Indianapolis - January 31, 2012
Dow AgroSciences announces SNAPSHOT® DG specialty herbicide, available for use in ornamental landscape beds and on field- and container-grown nursery ornamentals. The DG formulation features a dispersible granule, which quickly disperses to deliver the active ingredient into the soil profile to control your toughest weeds.
Available in convenient 25-pound bags, the DG formulation, utilizing The Andersons, Inc. patented DGlite® formulation, offers great flowability and easy spreading. Each granule is made up of thousands of subparticles that break apart with as little as 0.2 inches of moisture.
SNAPSHOT is a selective, preemergent herbicide that is effective on more than 125 broadleaf and grassy weeds. It demonstrates exceptional plant tolerance and can be used over the top of more than 600 labeled ornamentals. Depending on factors such as weeds controlled and application rate, SNAPSHOT provides up to eight months of control, saving landscape and nursery professionals thousands of dollars in hand-weeding labor costs.
SNAPSHOT DG and SNAPSHOT 2.5 TG are available from distributors nationwide.
