| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the broadleaf herbicide, fluroxypyr. States that "fluroxypyr is the only active ingredient contained in Spotlight. This active ingredient acts in a similar manner to triclopyr and clopyralid, the active ingredients in Confront." Explains that "fluroxypyr is a systemic herbicide that is rapidly absorbed by the foliage of growing plants." Describes the effects of fluroxypyr on plants, stating that "uncontrolled cell elongation and leaf and stem twisting are the symptoms of fluroxypyr, like those of other auxin-type herbicides." Mentions research conducted in 2005 "to compare fluroxypyr products to standard products on tough to control broadleaf perennial weeds." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "the herbicides evaluated were Spotlight, Escalade, Confront and Trimec Plus." Reports that "all treatment provided similar control of white clover except the lower rate of Spotlight...Similar results were seen for ground ivy control, however the decrease in control when the rate decreased was more drastic." Explains that a different approach was taken when evaluating Virginia buttonweed. Sequential applications were evaluated for Virginia buttonweed control, due to the fact that it is one if not the most difficult to control broadleaf weed." Reports that "sequential application of herbicides with fluroxypyr and clopyralid provided good to excellent control...of Virginia buttonweed at 6 weeks after the sequential application." Concludes that "these products compared equally to or better than industry standards and both were safe on the turf species evaluated. With any hard to control perennial regrowth is likely to occur overtime [over time]. But with persistant monitoring and timely applications control of these can be achieved." |
