SipcamRotam has launched Lucto, a pre- and post-emergence herbicide with the active ingredient mesotrione. Lucto is labeled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use in commercial and residential turfgrasses.
Packaged in convenient tip-and-pour one-quart containers, the product is designed to eliminate bentgrass in some cool-season turfgrasses as well as control weeds at time of new seeding or turf renovation. Lucto is absorbed by weeds during emergence or through treated foliage and is active against a wide spectrum of tough-to-control broadleaf weeds as well as some weeds resistant to glyphosate, ALS-inhibiting and triazine herbicides.
The company expects to have the product ready to ship by early spring of 2017.
For additional weed control, Lucto can be combined with SipcamRotam’s Cavalcade prodiamine product.
Lucto will be added to the family of SipcamRotam herbicides for the specialty products market which includes: Atrazine 4L, Atrazine 90DF, Cavalcade PQ, Cavalcade 65WDG, Eject 4L, Rometsol, Dakota, Rowrunner ATO, Sim-Trol 4L, Sim-Trol 90DF and Topeka.
