El control de malezas anuales de verano es un importante desafío dentro de los programas de mantenimiento del césped en primavera. Los herbicidas de preemergencia se aplican antes de que las malezas germinen para evitar su establecimiento en céspedes. Las plántulas absorben estos herbicidas y la translocación, aunque limitada, se produce con la transpiración y el flujo de masa de los solutos de las plantas. La mayoría de los herbicidas de preemergencia inhiben la división cellular en las raíces y los brotes; pero no evitan el establecimiento de la planta a partir de los tallos vegetativos o de las malezas que están ya visiblemente presentes.
