Respray programs and liability

Abstract

<p>The poor performance of preemergence herbicides due to the dry spring has resulted in the need for many unplanned postemergence treatments. Unfortunately, many growers and dealers have come to expect the manufacturer of the nonperforming product to cover the expense of this secondary strategy. In some situations, the herbicide manufacturer has voluntarily agreed to accept the cost or partial cost of the "rescue" treatment.</p>
