Introducing New Q4® Plus Turf Herbicide
May 2010
PBI/Gordon Corporation introduces new Q4® Plus, an improved
formulation of their grassy and broadleaf herbicide containing quinclorac.
Previously sold as Q4® Turf Herbicide with 0.5 lbs./acre of
quinclorac, the product has been reformulated with 0.75 lbs./acre
and will be sold as Q4® Plus Turf Herbicide. The other ingredients – sulfentrazone
+ 2,4-D + dicamba – remain the same.
With the disappearance
of MSMA from use on residential and commercial turf, new Q4 Plus
offers the professional turf manager more knockout power on grassy
weeds, explains Doug Obermann, Product Manager for Gordon’s
Professional Products. “Like Trimec® Plus, which contains
MSMA, Q4 Plus offers a single product control option for grassy
and broadleaf weeds and yellow nutsedge. Users appreciate that convenience,” Obermann
continues.
The fast action of Q4 Plus also gives visual results
within 24 to 48 hours – another bonus for turf managers. “When
their clients see fast results, it reduces the number of call backs
that they receive. And that’s going to save money,” says
Obermann.
Q4 Plus is formulated for use on bluegrasses, perennial
and annual ryegrass, fescues and, now, bermudagrass.
The EPA approved
the new label in December 2009 and state registrations are complete
with the exception of California which is still pending. Product
is expected to be available for shipment by the week of May 10,
2010.
PBI/Gordon Corporation, a Kansas City, Missouri corporation
is 100% employee-owned and celebrating over 60 years of business
as a manufacturer and distributor. While the company focuses primarily
on the professional turf and ornamental industry, they also market
agricultural specialty, consumer lawn and garden and animal health
care products.
