Q&A – What can I use as a pre-emergent to get rid of dead nettles in my collards?

Because you want to eat collard greens you need to make sure you use a pre-emergent that is labeled for use in this situation. Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison identifies two herbicides that would work. You need to make sure you read the label on the pre-emergent because most pre-emergents will kill your collards with the weeds.
