PBI/Gordon Corporation has announced that its Katana Turf Herbicide has received registration with the State of California Department of Pesticide Regulation, allowing its use as a spot treatment on residential lawns. Additionally, there are expanded use directions on professionally managed sports turf; previously, it had been approved only for “professionally managed college and professional sports fields.” The herbicide had previously received EPA registration and been available in most southern and transition zone states.
The labeling permits Katana to be used on golf courses (fairways, roughs and tees) and the following turf areas: industrial parks, tank farms, sod farms, seed farms, cemeteries, professionally managed sports fields, commercial turf and residential turf. In residential turf grass, Katana can be applied on up to 10% of a lawn through targeted or spot treatment with spray directed on the weeds.
