To help golf course superintendents and sod growers in Florida manage mature weeds in the heat of summer, Manuscript® herbicide from Syngenta has been granted a FIFRA Section 24(c) Special Local Needs label in Florida. This new, highly active herbicide has been specially designed to provide post-emergence control of tropical signalgrass and bull/thin leaf paspalum in certain warm-season turf species on golf course fairways, tees, roughs and on sod farms.
To help golf course superintendents and sod growers in Florida manage mature weeds in the heat of summer, Manuscript® herbicide from Syngenta has been granted a FIFRA Section 24(c) Special Local Needs label in Florida. This new, highly active herbicide has been specially designed to provide post-emergence control of tropical signalgrass and bull/thin leaf paspalum in certain warm-season turf species on golf course fairways, tees, roughs and on sod farms.
“Syngenta is excited to bring new technology to superintendents and sod growers in Florida for managing tough-to-control tropical signalgrass,” said Stephanie Schwenke, turf market manager for Syngenta. “Not only will Manuscript help with these long-standing weed challenges, but in doing so its effectiveness can also help reduce labor for hand-weeding and allow the desirable turf to quickly recover during the summer.”
Manuscript is powered by pinoxaden, a new active ingredient for the turf industry, which has an advanced form of ACCase mode of action. It helps control tropical signalgrass and bull/thin leaf paspalum in bermudagrass, zoysiagrass and St. Augustinegrass (sod only). This herbicide can also be used in the heat of summer, when desired turfgrass is actively growing and will fill in rapidly.
