Monterey 8oz Turflon Ester

Key Features and Benefits

Broad-Spectrum Weed Control: Monterey Turflon Ester is particularly effective against many broadleaf weeds. It controls tough, persistent weeds that can otherwise be difficult to eliminate, including oxalis, ground ivy, wild violet, and clover. This makes it an essential tool for lawn care professionals and homeowners who want to keep their cool-season turf free from invasive species.

Effective Grass Suppression: In addition to broadleaf weed control, Turflon Ester is highly effective at suppressing unwanted species like Bermuda grass and Kikuyu grass, which can invade and overtake cool-season lawns. This selective herbicide ensures these aggressive grasses do not outcompete your desirable turfgrass.

Active Ingredient - Triclopyr: Turflon Ester contains 60.45% Triclopyr, a powerful herbicide that disrupts the growth processes of susceptible weeds and grasses, leading to their eventual death. Triclopyr is particularly effective on woody and broadleaf plants, making it ideal for controlling herbaceous weeds and invasive grasses.

Post-Emergence Application: Turflon Ester is a post-emergence herbicide applied after the weeds have emerged and are actively growing. This targeted application method ensures that the herbicide directly impacts the unwanted plants, providing more immediate and visible results.

Suitable for Cool-Season Grasses: Monterey Turflon Ester is designed for cool-season grasses, including Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and tall fescue. It helps maintain the integrity of these desirable turf species by eliminating competitive weeds and grasses.

Application Instructions

1. Determine the Area to Treat: Measure the area of your lawn or turf where the herbicide will be applied to calculate the appropriate amount of product needed.

2. Mixing Instructions:

• For broadcast application, mix 1/3 to 3/4 fluid ounces of Turflon Ester per 1,000 square feet of turf in enough water to provide uniform coverage.
• Mix 3/4 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of Turflon Ester per gallon of water for spot treatment. Apply the solution to actively growing weeds and grasses.

3. Application: Apply the herbicide using a sprayer, ensuring even coverage over the targeted weeds and grasses. For best results, apply when the weeds are actively growing and not under stress from drought or extreme temperatures.

4. Post-Application Care:

• Avoid mowing the treated area for at least two days before and after application to allow the herbicide to be fully absorbed into the plants.
• Watering the lawn 24 hours after application can help activate the herbicide, leading to faster results.

5. Reapplication: If necessary, reapply Turflon Ester after 4-6 weeks to control any regrowth or missed areas.

Safety and Handling

• Storage: Store Monterey Turflon Ester in its original container in a cool, dry place that is out of reach of children and pets. Do not freeze.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear gloves, long sleeves, and eye protection when using herbicide. Avoid inhaling the spray mist, and wash your hands thoroughly after use.
• Environmental Precautions: Do not apply Turflon Ester near water bodies, as it can harm aquatic life. Avoid drift or runoff into ponds, streams, or other water sources.
