Trimec 1000 Low Odor Broadleaf Herbicide was introduced by PBI/Gordon Corp. this fall. This new proprietary formulation contains MCPP, dicamba and two forms of 2,4-D: DEA (diethanolamine) and DMA (dimethylamine). The combination of these two forms of 2,4-D has a unique ability to resist crystallization for more complete plant absorption and is classified as a “mixed amine” by university researchers. The resulting four-way product provides a broad-spectrum of control.
Trimec 1000 was developed for the golf and lawn care industries. “Another unique aspect of Trimec 1000 is its low odor, which means that weed-free turf can be accomplished without raising undue concerns from people passing by treated areas”, said Doug Obermann, product manager for Gordon’s Professional Products. This characteristic is ideal for public areas such as parks, sports turf and residential lawns.
“And with more active ingredients translocating down to the root, all major lawn weeds are controlled – even the most deep-rooted perennials,” said Obermann.
Trimec 1000 can be used in most cool-season and warm-season turfgrass areas. State registrations are complete in 49 states (excluding Alaska).
