Herbicides, when used properly, rarely cause problems on nontarget plants, but they can sometimes injure other plants. This publication examines the common causes of herbicide injury and how to avoid them.

This publication discusses precautions, label clearance, walks, patios, drives, and vegetable gardens. Tables are included listing the non-selective and selective weed killers, vegetables, fruits and nuts, flowering annuals, perennials, bulbs and tubers, and ornamental ground covers, trees, evergreens, and shrubs.
