FAQ
What is Quinclorac 25% SC?
Quinclorac 25% SC is a selective herbicide used for
post-emergent control of certain grassy and broadleaf weeds in turfgrass. It is specifically
designed to target weeds like crabgrass, barnyardgrass, foxtail, and other common nuisance
weeds, while leaving your desired grass species unharmed.
How does Quinclorac 25% SC
work?
Quinclorac works by inhibiting the growth of weeds, interrupting their ability
to photosynthesize and ultimately causing them to die off. It is absorbed through the leaves
of the weeds and translocated throughout the plant, effectively killing the weed from the
inside out. This allows for targeted control of invasive species without harming your
turfgrass.
Is Quinclorac 25% SC safe to use on all types of
turfgrass?
Quinclorac 25% SC is safe to use on most common turfgrass species,
including Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, and fine fescue. However, it
is not recommended for use on certain warm-season grasses such as St. Augustinegrass,
centipedegrass, and zoysiagrass. Always check the label for specific recommendations before
applying.
When is the best time to apply Quinclorac 25% SC?
Quinclorac 25% SC
is most effective when applied to actively growing weeds during their early stages of
growth. It is recommended to apply the herbicide in the spring or early summer when weeds
are actively growing and temperatures are moderate. Avoid applying during periods of drought
or when temperatures exceed 90°F to prevent damage to your turfgrass.
How should
Quinclorac 25% SC be applied?
Quinclorac 25% SC should be mixed with water according
to the instructions on the label. Use a pump sprayer or other suitable equipment to apply a
uniform spray to the target area. Make sure to apply when the weather is calm to prevent
drift, and avoid mowing for at least 1-2 days before and after application to allow for
optimal absorption.
How long does it take for Quinclorac 25% SC to
work?
Quinclorac 25% SC typically begins to work within a few days of application,
with visible symptoms appearing on the weeds shortly thereafter. Depending on the size and
type of weed, complete control may take anywhere from 1-3 weeks. For best results, make sure
to follow up with a second application if needed.
Is Quinclorac 25% SC safe for the
environment?
When used according to the label instructions, Quinclorac 25% SC is
