POST EMERGENT HERBICIDE<br />
Post Emergent Application for Plant Bed Preparation<br />
During “Initial Planting”, prior to tillage, Contractor shall successfully treat bed areas with herbicide as<br />
needed until all visible, actively growing, non-desirable plant material has been eliminated from the bed<br />
areas. This item is paid and included in the Plant Bed Herbicide Treatment.<br />
After plants are established, pre-emergent herbicides shall be used to control warm season and winter<br />
annuals. Selective herbicides shall be used to control emerged weeds. Hoeing shall not be allowed as a<br />
means <strong>of</strong> removing weeds as it has been determined to reduce plant performance. Failure to control<br />
weeds shall result in the forfeiture <strong>of</strong> payment. Negligence in weed control shall result in forfeiture <strong>of</strong><br />
performance bond. No additional payment shall be made for herbicide treatment as such shall be<br />
considered incidental to the work. Should non-selective herbicides be needed, care shall be taken to<br />
avoid contact with desirable plant material. The Contractor shall replace any desirable plant material that<br />
is damaged, to any degree, by misapplication or drift <strong>of</strong> herbicide. The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kernersville</strong> will not<br />
participate in the cost <strong>of</strong> such replacement planting.<br />
