| Crop and/or Non-Crop Registrations |
"Chemical mower" to control weeds on
driveways, pathways and other non-cultivated areas. |
| Sensitive Weeds |
All green plant tissue. Less effective on plants
with a thick, waxy cuticle such as nut sedge. |
| Uptake and Translocation |
Foliar contact activity. Little or no translocation. |
| Basis of Selectivity |
No selectivity for green plants. Will not penetrate
the mature (non-green) bark of woody plants. |
| Application Methods |
Postemergence. |
| Residual Activity |
Essentially none; inactivated by adsorption to
soil particles. May remain active in turf thatch after application,
therefore, thorough cultivation of a turf area is required before
seeding. |

Best results follow application on dull or cloudy
days, or in the evening. |
