Active Ingredient: Penoxsulam
Profile
Sapphire® specialty herbicide provides superior postemergence control of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds — including English lawn daisy and white clover — at extremely low use rates and with fewer applications. Penoxsulam, the active ingredient in Sapphire, is absorbed via leaves, shoots and roots and begins to work immediately by translocating throughout the entire plant to achieve control. Sapphire is turf-tolerant for cool- and warm-season grasses on golf course fairways and roughs.
Features
- Excellent control of English lawn daisy
- Eliminates the need to tank-mix multiple herbicides, which reduces handling exposure for applicators
- Effective postemergence control of other annual and perennial broadleaf weeds
- Low use rates (0.02 to 0.06 lb. a.i./A) help decrease the overall environmental pesticide load on turfgrass and reduce container shipping, storage,handling and disposal requirements
- Labeled for use on golf course fairways and roughs
- Nonphenoxy herbicide; may be used in 2,4-D-restricted areas
- Labeled for spring and/or late summer/early fall application
- Rainfast within one hour of application
- Accepted for review and registration under the U.S Environmental Protection Agency's Reduced Risk Pesticide Initiative for its favorable toxicological profile
