The weed being treated, site, and surrounding plant material should all be considered when choosing a product.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>We have recently seen a number of cases of plant damage and death due to misapplication of some new extended-control products that are available in retail stores and contain the compounds imazapyr or imazapic. Though the herbicide products may seem familiar, the addition of imazapyr or imazapic is a notable difference. These compounds are water soluble and persistent in the soil, which means they can be taken up by weeds and desirable woody ornamentals alike. Given these characteristics, it is important to understand that products containing imazapyr or imazapic can severely damage or kill trees and shrubs when applied nearby.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3438\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3438\" style=\"width: 1728px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"Abnormal \u2018tufted\u2019 growth is a typical symptom when imazapyr or imazapic are absorbed by a plant\u2019s root system.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tufted-growth.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3438\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tufted-growth.jpg\" alt=\"Abnormal \u2018tufted\u2019 growth is a typical symptom when imazapyr or imazapic are absorbed by a plant\u2019s root system.\" width=\"1728\" height=\"1223\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3438\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Abnormal \u2018tufted\u2019 growth is a typical symptom when imazapyr or imazapic are absorbed by a plant\u2019s root system.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Look for words like &#8216;extended control&#8217; or &#8216;kills weeds for up to one year&#8217; on the container.
