Technical Brief

Active Ingredients: 60 g/kg carfentrazone-ethyl 375 g/kg MCPA present as the sodium salt Chemical Family: triazolinones / phenoxy Mode of Action Groups: G / I Formulation: Water Dispersible Granule (WDG) Mode of Action: Group G — Inhibitors of protoporphyrinogen (PPOs) Group I — Disruptors of plant cell growth (Synthetic Auxins) Behaviour in Plants: Moss: Carfentrazone-ethyl works by effectively Inhibiting a key enzyme in moss chlorophyll production. Broadleaf: Carfentrazone-ethyl is a contact herbicide with little or no residual activity that provides selective post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds. It is an aryl triazolinone herbicide, which interrupts chlorophyll synthesis and produces metabolic by-products that disrupt plant cell membranes (a process of membrane disruption). MCPA is classified as a Group I Herbicide, with a mode of action where the weed cannot grow due to disruption of plant cell growth (disruptors of plant cell growth). It is absorbed through the leaves of susceptible weeds and then rapidly translocates to accumulate in the growing points of the stems and roots, where it interferes with cell division and enlargement.

For the control of Moss and Broadleaf Weeds in Turf

Benefits

• Provides quick control of moss and broadleaf weeds in fine turf and has become a valuable tool for golf course superintendents
• It’s so effective that it will reduce up to 90% of moss when applied twice at a 14-day interval
• Formulated to be effective in both cool and warm temperatures, allowing moss control year-round
• Won’t harm fine turf areas such as Bentgrass and Couch greens and also safe to use on Fine Fescue, Winter Grass and Buffalo
• Leaves minimal residue allowing for fast reestablishment of Bentgrass or Fescues, enabling golf course superintendents and greenkeepers to quickly replant/re-seed and break the moss opportunity cycle

Mixing and Compatibility

SPRAY PREPARATION & CLEAN UP One of Silverado Herbicide’s active constituents is carfentrazone-ethyl, a fast acting contact herbicide which controls weeds through a process of membrane disruption, and to ensure optimum performance and crop tolerance, the product needs to be used in spray equipment that is thoroughly cleaned, with no residues from previous sprays.

To avoid injury to following crops, immediately after spraying, thoroughly remove all traces of Silverado Herbicide from mixing and spray equipment. This can be achieved by using a specialist boom-cleaning product.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Application

• Apply in 800 to 1600 L of water per ha (8 to 16 L of water per 100m²)
• A second application is required 14 days after the first application
• DO NOT tank mix with any type of fertiliser
• DO NOT tank mix with other pesticides
• There is no need for the addition of surfactants
