Total Vegetation Control

What Is Total Vegetation Control?

TVC is a systemic herbicide that works in a pre-emergent or post-emergent capacity. TVC destroys unwanted vegetation such as annual and perennial weeds, woody brush, and trees. It’s also an ideal solution for non-cropland sites like:

  • Curb lines
  • Parking lots
  • Driveways
  • Building edges
  • Landscape beds
  • Pool enclosures
  • Fence lines
  • Sidewalks and Walkways

TVC is also effective in rangeland and grass pastures, as well as for maintaining or establishing wildlife openings.

TVC is effective against most annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds, along with many brush and vine species. Within the treatment areas, TVC also provides residual control of labeled weeds that germinate. Post-emergence is the most common application for TVC, particularly for perennial weeds. For maximum effect, weeds should be growing vigorously at post-emergence application and the spray solution should include a surfactant.

TVC can be applied on the ground or aerially, in broad quantities or as a low-volume spot treatment. TVC controls vegetation by absorption through leaves, stems, and roots. Most plants treated with TVC cease growing soon after treatment, but in some plants chlorosis and tissue necrosis may not be visible until two weeks after application. A complete kill of plants may take several weeks.

When To Use Total Vegetation Control

Whether you’re pouring a new driveway, installing a new patio, or clearing weeds and brush along a retaining wall, TVC is the ideal long-term solution for more than 150 varieties of grasses, weeds, brush, vines, and trees. TVC is rain-resistant after two hours, and its extra weed-killing power means that anything it touches stays dead for up to a year. It remains in the soil, preventing new growth from surviving.
