Not all registered pesticides are listed. The following are listed alphabetically. When choosing a pesticide, consider information relating to environmental impact, resistance management, the pesticide's properties, and application timing. Tank mixes may be necessary to achieve desired control; see the Susceptibility of Weeds to Herbicide Control for information on specific weed control. Always read the label of the product being used.

TRIFLURALIN
0.5–1 lb a.i.
(Treflan)
1–2 pt
12
NA
WSSA MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 3
COMMENTS: Broadcast preplant incorporated. Plant tree roots below treated soil. Do not place treated soil near roots during planting. Controls many annuals and is helpful on perennial weeds. Useful for helping eradicate johnsongrass before planting. Residual period: 2 to 12 months.
Postemergence

CLETHODIM
0.073–0.12125 lb a.i.
(Select Max)
9.6–16 fl oz
24
NA
WSSA MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 1
COMMENTS: Apply to actively growing grasses. Use lower rate for barnyardgrass, foxtails, and panicums before grasses are over 4 inches tall. Use medium rate for crabgrasses before they are over 4 inches tall. Use higher rates (0.096–0.12125 lb a.i./acre) for goosegrass, lovegrass, ryegrass, and sprangletop before grasses are over 6 inches tall.
B.
FLUAZIFOP-P-BUTYL
0.125–0.375 lb a.i.
(Fusilade DX)
8–24 fl oz
12
NA
WSSA MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 1
COMMENTS: Apply to actively growing grasses when they are 2 to 8 inches in height. Use lower rates for smaller grasses. Add a crop oil concentrate or a nonionic surfactant according to the label for the amount of water (5–40 gal/acre) added. For bermudagrass apply to 4- to 8-inch runners; for johnsongrass apply before boot stage.
C.

0.88–1.5 lb a.i.
(Rely 280)
48–82 fl oz
12
NA
WSSA MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 10
COMMENTS: Herbicide works best when weeds are actively growing. Warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright sunlight improve the performance. Weed control may be reduced when applications are made to weeds under stress due to drought or cool temperatures. Weeds under stress or in dense populations will require application at the highest rate recommended. Requires uniform thorough spray coverage. Avoid contact with green bark, stems, or foliage, as injury may occur. This herbicide is a glutamine synthetase inhibitor; weed population may have a higher chance of developing resistance after repeated use.
D.
GLYPHOSATE
0.77–3.71 lb a.e.
(Roundup Powermax)
0.7–3.3 qt
4
NA
WSSA MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 9
COMMENTS: Apply with a controlled applicator or with low-pressure flat fan nozzles. For annual weed control use the lower end of the rate range in 10 to 40 gal water. Apply to young annuals or vigorously growing perennials in flowering stage. Some perennials require the maximum per acre rate for control. May be used on young weeds in strip followed by planting into the dead weeds. New weeds usually do not establish for a month or more because of the no-till effect. Do not use more than 9.625 lb a.i. per year.

365 (1 year)
WSSA MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 14
COMMENTS: For use on nonbearing trees only. Do not apply to trees established less than one year unless protected from spray contact. Best control is achieved when irrigation or rainfall follows within 21 days of application. Do not make a sequential application within 30 days of the first application.

WSSA MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 29
COMMENTS: Do not apply to trees established less than one year. Best control is achieved when irrigation or rainfall follows within 21 days of application. Can be mixed with other pre- or postemergence herbicides. It will not provide control of emerged weeds unless mixed with a postemergence herbicide.

365 (1 year)
WSSA MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 21
COMMENTS: For use in nonbearing lemon, grapefruit, and orange groves only. Wait until soil has settled around transplant to apply. Requires irrigation to activate unless 0.5 inches of rain has fallen within 21 days after application. Used only where broadleaf weeds are expected; does not control grasses or nutsedges.

12
1
WSSA MODE-OF-ACTION GROUP NUMBER1: 27
COMMENTS: Can be applied in citrus trees less than 12 months old that are exhibiting normal growth and vigor. Dry conditions following application may reduce the preemergence activity. If an activating rain (0.25 inches) is not received within 7 to 10 days after application, rotary hoeing is suggested to activate herbicide. To avoid crop injury, apply spray to grove floor avoiding contact with crop foliage, stems, or fruit. Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is complete. Mesotrione is not effective for most grass weeds, however it can be tank mixed with other registered herbicides to provide a broad spectrum of weed control (see label). Do not exceed three applications per year (12-month period).
