Description

Benfluralin is a selective pre-emergence herbicide belonging to the dinitroaniline chemical class. It is valued for its effectiveness in controlling a broad spectrum of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds by inhibiting root and shoot development. This product is essential for agricultural professionals and turf managers seeking reliable, long-lasting residual weed control in key crops and managed landscapes.

Application

• Selective Herbicide for Agriculture: Primarily used as a pre-emergence herbicide in crops such as lettuce, alfalfa, clover, peanuts, and certain brassicas.
• Turf and Ornamental Management: Applied in commercial turfgrass (e.g., golf courses, sod farms) and ornamental nurseries for weed suppression.
• Non-Crop Area Weed Control: Utilized in industrial sites, fence lines, and other non-crop areas to manage unwanted vegetation.
• Soil-Applied Residual Control: Provides extended control of weeds like crabgrass, barnyardgrass, pigweed, and lambsquarters through soil incorporation or surface application.
