21	Summary VIF is more retentive of 1,3-D than High Barrier film. Increased retention results in improved nutsedge control. Differences exist among VIF products. Bromostop VIF black is as retentive as Hytibar and white is almost as retentive. The latest improvements in Bromostop VIF render a film which has acceptable retention, handling, and physical characteristics for growers.
