Being able to rely on a single herbicide isn’t a far-fetched idea. Allstar is a selective herbicide that controls or suppresses over 250 broadleaf weeds, sedges, and grassy weeds.
Weeds that are in their early stages of growth can be controlled in one application, while more mature weeds may require a second.
Allstar contains four active ingredients (2,4-D, quinclorac, triclopyr, and sulfentrazone) for maximum stopping power. Triclopyr and quinclorac work together to make the product very active on tough weeds like wild violet, while the combination of sulfentrazone and quinclorac provides quick knockdown. I’ve seen Allstar take down big, mature crabgrass, foxtail, and yellow nutsedge. To see the full list of controlled weeds and tolerant turfgrasses, see pages eight and nine of Allstar’s label.
To get even more out of the product, I recommend adding Microyl to your tank. Microyl is a crop oil replacement that promotes better herbicide penetration, especially of grassy weeds, and is safer than standard methylated seed oil. This can speed up visible results and lead to reduced callbacks. When tank mixing, be sure to follow all label precautions.
Allstar should be applied on your customers’ lawns at a rate between 1.8 and 3.0 fluid ounces per thousand square feet. Cool-season grasses will require higher amounts (2.6 to 3.0), while warm-season grasses will require less (1.8 to 2.6). A lower rate should be used if lawns are stressed due to heat and/or drought.
Allstar is a neat product because it controls everything—the grasses, nutsedge, and broadleaf weeds—and it does it very effectively. To learn more about Allstar, reach out to your ATS rep.
