We would not recommend Casoron 4G for raised beds or flower/ornamental areas as many species have not been tested over and it could cause damage to the plants. A better option would be Snapshot for a granule to put down in beds as long as they are not vegetables. Snapshot TG is ideal for ornamental and flower bed areas to prevent a wide range of grassy and broadleaf weeds from emerging. Normally you will want an application of this to the top of the soil though as if you only treat deep in the ground you will not have a barrier on the surface where your first weeds would start to grow and appear. Since a pre emergent is designed to create a wall like barrier in the soil, it needs to be applied after all soil and plants have been put into place as disturbing the soil after application will remove the barrier.
Casoron 4G Herbicide will not kill established rose bushes. Roses are listed as a tolerant plant.
If you want to plant in areas that were treated with Casoron 4G Herbicide you would need to wait one year.
If you want to plant in Casoron 4G Herbicide treated areas you would need to just wait one year. After that time nothing is needed, ie removing soil, to be able to plant in the area.
Casoron 4G Herbicide should not be applied near any young trees (also none that are less than 6 months or inside the dripline). No more than 150 lbs per acre should be applied to lilac and on plantings that are less than one year.
Unfortunately, Casoron 4G Herbicide is not labeled for morning glory. We would recommend a pre-emergent such as Drexel Diuron 4L Herbicide which does in fact have it on the product label.
Casoron should be applied at least 10 feet from a well.
Casoron 4G Herbicide is a herbicide only and will have no affect on insects.
Casoron 4G Herbicide is not labeled for Florida Betony. We recommend that you spot treat with RoundUp.
Casoron 4G Herbicide is not labeled for use around ajuga or other groundcovers, so we would not recommend this application. We recommend taking a look at Snapshot for a pre-emergent to use around established ornamentals and groundcovers. This product is labeled for use around ajuga species. We suggest testing a small area if your plants are not listed on this label as known to be tolerant.
Casoron 4G is a selective pre-emergence herbicide that prevents many variety of weeds and grasses. It will not kill a growing Vinca that is already established.
Casoron 4G Herbicide is not labeled to be used in lawns so would not be recommended. Pendulum 2G and Corral 2.68G both contain the same active ingredient and would be comparable, really, as they are labeled for the same weeds.
You should not plant in the areas treated with Casoron 4G Herbicide for a minimum of one year from the application date.
Casoron 4G Herbicide is a mild soil sterilant so can persists for some time in the soil. It would be recommended to wait at least 1 year.

Per the manufacturer label, Casoron 4G should not be used near any type of conifer trees.
