Can Devrinol 50-DF be applied to frozen ground?

Devrinol 50-DF, a pre-emergent herbicide, should not be applied to frozen ground because doing so can hinder its effectiveness and environmental safety. When the ground is frozen, the herbicide may not be adequately absorbed into the soil, preventing it from forming the necessary barrier to suppress weed seed germination. Additionally, applying chemicals during freezing conditions can increase the risk of runoff when thaws occur, leading to potential harm to nearby water sources and ecosystems. Therefore, for optimal performance and safety, it is essential to apply Devrinol on thawed, actively growing soil.
