? What do yall commercial guys do in holding yards etc?

Roundup is the cheapest but needs *at least* two treatments a season. Does 
not work on some weeds.

The largest use Ureabor. Not available for use in Nebraska.

By the bag around $170 a 50 pound (Mann lake) bag . 1-3 pounds per 100 
sq.ft.

Quite a bit cheaper by the truck load.

There are other herbicides which others use but the most common is roundup 
from a hand sprayer.
If sprayed heavy in hot weather those high weeds will hit the ground in a 
few days with roundup.
I have never heard of bee kills with roundup even when sprayed when bees are 
flying.

Some land owners object to Ureabor as will leave a bare spot for a long 
time.
