Why is burndown important in a weed management strategy?

The best weed is a weed that never comes up, and so we'll come in there early on with a Balance Flexx^® come in there with a burn down of, you know, RT3^® or PowerMAX^® and, you know, try to get on the front side of it, and then we'll chase the planters with another burn down with a RT3 and then come in there with a Harness Xtra^® or some sort of a atrazine chemical. But what we found out is if we can keep a weed from ever showing up, we're ahead of the curve, and so burn down is extremely important in weed management.
