What does spot treatment refer to in herbicide application?

Spot treatment in herbicide application specifically refers to the method of targeting a small, localized area within a larger landscape that requires weed control. This approach is efficient and effective, as it allows the applicator to directly address problem areas without impacting the entire site. Spot treatment minimizes herbicide use, thereby reducing costs, limiting environmental impact, and preventing damage to desirable plants in surrounding areas.

This method is particularly useful in managing invasive weeds or isolated infestations that do not warrant a blanket application. By precisely applying the herbicide only where it is needed, operators can maintain healthier overall turf and ornamental landscapes while effectively controlling unwanted vegetation.
