Vegetation Management Helps Keep Roads Safe

Safety is a high priority for everyone using the roads. Vegetation along the roadsides, if left alone, will grow out of control, blocking visibility of signs, traffic and wildlife, which puts motorists at risk. Weeds and brush must be properly managed to avoid spreading into agricultural land and native ecosystems as well.

We count on vegetation managers at our government agencies to take care of our infrastructure. In turn, vegetation managers count on Dow AgroSciences to provide intelligent solutions when it comes to roadside maintenance. The key to any roadside vegetation management program includes the use of both herbicides and mechanical mowing. This approach helps enable stable plant communities to establish — requiring less future maintenance and less risk for motorists.

Dow AgroSciences has a strong history of providing quality solutions to vegetation managers that are backed by independent research. These trusted and tested products, such as the Accord^® family of herbicides, help keep encroaching vegetation from becoming or creating a safety hazard for those on the road. Continuing innovation, such as the new Milestone^® VM and Milestone VM Plus specialty herbicides, illustrates Dow AgroSciences’ commitment to environmental stewardship while providing superior control of unwanted vegetation along roadsides.
