| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the bioherbicide SARRITOR, "the first bioherbicide developed for control of dandelion and other broadleaf weeds in turfgrass." States that "the active ingredient of SARRITOR is a naturally occuring fungal plant pathogen, Sclerotinia minor (IMI 344141)...SARRITOR's active ingredient is not toxic or pathogenic to birds, honeybees and earthworms and SARRITOR granules have low dermal toxicity and are non- to minimally irritating to the skin and eyes." Explains that "the bioherbicide product is produced by growing the fungus on ground cereal grains followed by drying and vacuum packaging. The small (1.5-2.0 cm [centimeter] diameter) bioherbicide granules are broadcast or spot applied to weed infested turf in the spring and/or autumn. To work, the fungus must grow out of the granules and invade and colonize dandelion and other broadleaf weeds." Reports that "turfgrasses are not harmed by SARRITOR. Kentucky bluegrass, creeping red fescue, perennial ryegrass, annual ryegrass, creeping bentgrass, colonial bentgrass, chewing's fescue, tall fescue and hard fescue are all resistant to infection following both pre- and post-emergent applications of SARRITOR. The risk to non-target plants is limited to those growing in or adjacent to treated turf. Users are advised to avoid direct application to desirable broadleaf species." |
