Krenite S is different from other brush control chemicals. Treated vegetation with Krenite S does not usually show any immediate affects; rather it does not produce foliage the following spring.
Krenite S applications are made in order to ensure the safety of those traveling on state-maintained roadways and to maintain the integrity of highway assets. These herbicide applications also reduce maintenance costs and reduce mowing frequency.
