New Herbicide Targets Nutsedge
|
Burr Ridge, IL – Turf care professionals now have a new option for controlling troublesome nutsedge and other weeds in turf and ornamental plantings with the introduction of Nufarm Halosulfuron Pro from Nufarm Americas Inc.
“Nutsedge is a nuisance weed that is really problematic in many settings,” says Dunk Porterfield, Ph.D., product development manager for Nufarm. “Because it is a perennial that grows from underground tubers and rhizomes, it’s difficult to control. But Halosulfuron Pro is state-of-the-art in controlling both purple and yellow nutsedge.”
“These herbicides will be a real benefit to professional landscapers, golf course superintendents, and others in the green industry,” says Dave Feist, Nufarm herbicide product manager. “Because Halosulfuron Pro works so effectively, the risk of call-backs – or of members complaining about weeds on the course – is greatly reduced.”
Nufarm Halosulfuron Pro will be available in two pack sizes: a user friendly 0.9 gram water-soluble packet that treats up to 1,000 square feet, and a 1.33 ounce bottle for larger-scale applications.
