### Content Summary
|
|
|
|
Dr. Chris Marble presents a comprehensive guide to developing weed management programs in nursery production and landscape ornamentals. The presentation covers calibration and application fundamentals, pre-emergent and post-emergence herbicide timing, a systematic three-step process for herbicide selection and rotation by mode of action, and research demonstrating the cost and environmental benefits of combining pre-emergent and post-emergence programs. Marble also reviews alternatives to glyphosate for non-selective post-emergence control and highlights underutilized selective herbicides including graminicides, Basagran, Lontrel, and Certainty. A brief Q&A covers signal words, drift reduction, and Marengo use in nursery non-crop areas.

|
### Key Topics for CEU Relevance
|
|
|
|
This session is particularly relevant for professionals managing weed control in ornamental nursery production, commercial landscape maintenance, and right-of-way applications. Topics include herbicide mode of action rotation, the 2017 Southeast Pest Control Guide as a decision tool, label compliance and calibration, research on reducing total herbicide use through integrated pre/post programs, signal word classifications and PPE requirements, and drift reduction strategies. The presentation's emphasis on developing site-specific programs rather than relying on single products supports best management practices across all applicable license categories.
