Turflon Ester Ultra specialty herbicide from Dow AgroSciences uses plant-derived methylated seed oil (MSO) instead of petroleum distillates as its solvent. The new low-odor formulation reduces environmental impact, while continuing to provide broad-spectrum control of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and kikuyugrass in ornamental turf. Turflon Ester Ultra, which replaces Turflon Ester specialty herbicide, is now available in most states.
• Offers the same powerful postemergence control of early emerging and hard-to-control weeds, including wild violet, oxalis, spurge, clover, dandelion, ground ivy, lespedeza and plantain
• Helps control bermudagrass on fairways and accelerates the transition to cool-season turf
• Triclopyr, the active ingredient in Turflon Ester Ultra, tends to stay where it is applied, so it is not likely to move through soil and reach the roots of off-target ornamentals or vegetation
• Because of its ester base, Turflon Ester Ultra doesn't evaporate from the turf, further reducing its chances of harming other vegetation
