<p class="MsoNormal">I don't know but look into Chateau. Spray it in the spring and it holds back the weeds all season. I keep it off the trunks of the trees by hand spraying a circle around each tree and then following up with a larger power hand gun sprayer
at low pressure with a V tip. You will need a gram scale, the rates are crazy low, like 4 oz per acre or something...
