LebanonTurf launches no phosphorus Mesotrione fertilizer product
LebanonTurf launched ProScape 20-0-4 100 % PCSCU SOP 8 % Ca with . 08 % Mesotrione , the industry ’ s first and only Mesotrione combination product that does not contain phosphorus and is designed for routine turf maintenance .
ProScape 20-0-4 100 % PCSCU SOP 8 % Ca , is a new , SGN 150 , blended product that controls more than 46 grassy and broadleaf weeds , including crabgrass , dandelion and yellow nutsedge . It is labeled for use on golf courses , athletic fields , and residential and commercial turf .
“ Up until now , the only fertilizer combination product with Mesotrione herbicide was the popular 21-22-4 Starter that ’ s designed for seed establishment ,” said Christopher S . Gray , senior manager of professional marketing . “ The development of this new product resulted from our professional customers asking for a product that contained no phosphorus so that it could be used for routine maintenance purposes .”
Mesotrione provides control of more than 46 broadleaf and grassy weeds with its technology based on a naturally occurring compound produced by the bottlebrush plant ( Callistemon citrinus ). It is absorbed through the roots , shoots and leaves and inhibits photosynthesis in susceptible plants , which results in bleaching of the leaves followed by necrosis and death of the plant . Mesotrione has been granted “ Reduced Risk ” status by the EPA for turf use due to its favorable ecotoxicity and human health profiles compared to many registered herbicides .
“ We ’ ve been working on bringing this product to market for several years and are extremely excited about being able to help our loyal customers utilize Mesotrione for all of their turf management needs from turf establishment to general maintenance ,” said Gray .
