Broadleaf weed herbicide Dow AgroSciences LLC offers MILESTONE®VM Plus specialty herbicide, a new weed control product developed to serve as a foundation herbicide for various applications, including railroad rights-of-way. The product combines fast knockdown power and long-lasting control of herbaceous broadleaf weeds and woody plants. It is a non-ester, essentially nonvolatile formulation that features a “Caution” signal word. A premix reduces the risk of worker exposure and spills during tank mixing. When applied to emerged weeds, it moves systemically into the foliage and throughout the entire plant, disrupting the natural growth process by going deep into the root system. Complete control is achieved in about two months. In addition, it provides soil-residual activity to control later-emerging seedlings of broadleaf weeds all season long. Selective to most cool- and warm-weather grasses, it allows native plants to flourish and helps to restore biodiversity. It can be sprayed up to water’s edge and does not require a special license for purchase or application.
