Apply to weeds that are healthy and actively growing, Odessa works best when daily air temperatures are a reaching 18ºC. Warmer temperatures lead to best results, i.e. when daily air temperatures are reaching 21ºC and higher.
If air temperatures are only reaching 15ºC or lower, sub-par weed control may be observed.
