On my plot of land which is black volcanic soil, and has been not well looked after as I’ve only had farm 2 years and was leased out for that period.

I am wondering aloud. In order to protect the efficacy of Broadway Star and use it less often than twice in three years or every other year what would be the next best spring herbicide to use?
