More frequent application allows for more balanced water retention in the soil. Using higher rates to achieve seasonal control can reduce spraying frequency, but longevity is not always predictable due to soil type and climatic conditions. Also, the higher rates associated with seasonal applications can increase the risk of burning with some surfactants.
