New Quincept Post-Emergent Herbicide Looks to Make an Impression at GIS
|
(BURR RIDGE, IL) -- Judging by the reception it received from the lawn care industry last October at GIE, Nufarm Americas is now looking forward to introducing Quincept™ at the Golf Industry Show (GIS - booth #4280). A new multi-action and selective post-emergent herbicide, Quincept provides grassy and broadleaf weed control in one convenient and affordable formulation. The three-day show runs Jan. 31 – Feb. 2 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
“We were very pleased by the reception Quincept received at GIE in Louisville, and we are expecting a similar response at the Golf Industry Show,” said Tim Birkel, U.S. product manager for Quincept. “Superintendents and others looking for a cost-effective, post-emergent herbicide that truly can do it all will be interested in Quincept. What makes it unique is that it combines an ideal and powerful ratio of the active ingredients quinclorac, 2,4-D, and dicamba, to manage and control tough grasses, including crabgrass, and more than 200 broadleaf weeds.”
Birkel believes Quincept will be popular since it will give a superintendent more flexibility, regardless if it is early season broadleaf control or late season crabgrass cleanup.
“Quincept is flexible enough to work in multiple situations. If you need to clean up a poorly maintained property, spray an area that did not receive a pre-emergent herbicide treatment, or keep the mid-summer weed escapes in check, Quincept is the solution,” Birkel said. “Crabgrass and tough mid-summer weeds such as spurge and oxalis are a problem for even some of the most highly maintained properties. Quincept provides the convenience of an all-in-one formulation that delivers enough of each active ingredient to control virtually any weed an applicator will come across, and at a price that makes sense.”
Quincept is an ideal product for broadcast spray or spot application use. It is available through normal distribution channels in the convenient 64 oz. squeeze and measure jug, as well as the “no-glug” 2 ½ gallon size.
