New Patented Fast-Acting Grass & Broadleaf Turf Weed Control
February 1, 2006
Kansas City, Missouri – PBI/Gordon Corporation has received EPA acceptance for a new turf herbicide for grassy and broadleaf weed control. The new patented formulation contains the protox inhibitor sulfentrazone in combination with quinclorac, 2,4-D and dicamba.
Trademarked as Q4 Turf Herbicide for Grassy and Broadleaf Weed Control, the new product will join Gordon’s ProForm™ brand which includes SpeedZone, PowerZone, SpeedZone Southern and Surge herbicides. The Q4 label will feature the distinctive checkered flag design in orange.
“Why use Q4?” asked Doug Obermann, Product Manager for Gordon’s Professional products, “That’s easy -- yellow nutsedge, crabgrass and broadleaf weeds gone – FAST!”
Q4 offers a single product control option for yellow nutsedge suppression and grassy and broadleaf weed control in established turfgrass areas. An alternative to MSMA products, Q4 has dramatically reduced phytotoxicity on cool-season grass species. It also offers the enhanced speed of a protox inhibitor, which is a definite fit especially with the golf, lawn care and landscape markets. “When clients see visual results in 24 to 48 hours, it really cuts down call-backs, which are very costly to lawn care, explains Obermann.” Grassy weeds, such as crabgrass and foxtail will turn ghostly pale prior to the reddening which precedes weed death, Obermann continued. Yellow nutsedge suppression is another distinct advantage of the Q4 formulation.
“Like Surge, Q4 is ‘energized with sulfentrazone’,” said Obermann. “Users will see a similar response in broadleaf weed control,” Obermann said. “The broadleaf weeds turn brown, dry up and blow away.”
The new formulation is designed for use on cool-season turf. Adding 2,4-D and dicamba broadens the weed control spectrum and adds systemic activity to the contact activity of sulfentrazone for multiple modes of action.
