United Turf Alliance debuts 2 new herbicides

United Turf Alliance (UTA) added two herbicides to its ArmorTech line of professional turf management products.

ArmorTech Sulf 396 is a herbicide designed to provide quick control of sedges and many other weeds, the organization said. The active ingredient sulfentrazone launches a two-pronged attack against troublesome sedges with above-ground foliar control and tuber interaction below the soil.

ArmorTech Sulf 396 can be used on established cool-season and warm-season turfgrass and applied in early spring, late summer and fall. The herbicide is labeled for use on on golf course fairways and roughs, residential and commercial lawns, athletic fields, sod farms and other areas. ArmorTech Sulf 396 is available in 4 x 1-gallon or 12 x 6-ounce cases.

ArmorTech Trione is a herbicide absorbed through roots, shoots and leaves and offers both preemergence and postemergence control of grassy and broadleaf weeds. It is often used during turf establishment and renovation projects to prevent or eliminate weeds and reduce competition with emerging turfgrass, UTA said.

ArmorTech Trione contains the active ingredient mesotrione, a naturally occurring byproduct of the bottlebrush plant. It is labeled for use on commercial and residential turf including golf courses (no putting greens), sod farms, sports turf and other areas. ArmorTech Trione is available in 4 x 64-ounce and 12 x 8-ounch cases.

Both ArmorTech Sulf 396 and ArmorTech Trione herbicides are available from UTA members and partners.
