Keep Power Flowing With Fewer Retreatments
Controlling vegetation in utility rights of way to meet Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) guidelines can be an added strain on tight maintenance budgets. One way to maximize crew productivity and stretch budgets is to adopt an integrated vegetation management (IVM) program that includes selective herbicide treatments for effective long-lasting weed and brush control with fewer return visits.

Maintain Utility and Industrial Site Safety With Reliable Brush Control
Utility and industrial site safety can be maintained with effective brush control by DuPont™ Viewpoint® and Streamline® herbicides.
