Pronto Big N Tuf has been my go-to for a couple of seasons now. Its strength is in quick results, but I sometimes worry about its persistence in the soil.

18

That’s a valid concern. How does it compare to products with a shorter soil activity period?

I agree, the quick results can be a double-edged sword. Pronto works fast but can impact nearby plants if used carelessly. Gotta be cautious!
