The Lethbridge Northern Irrigation District will be controlling broadleaf weeds along its right-of-ways for the 2024 irrigation season. The chemicals used will be Dycleer, 2,4-D Amine 600 and Amine 500 herbicides. Round-up will also be used for weed control on graveled driving banks and for reed canary grass control.
