Mecoprop-P is a selective, liquid systemic herbicide used to control tough broadleaf weeds in turfgrass, golf courses, and cereal crops like wheat, barley, and oats. It acts as a synthetic plant growth regulator (auxin mimic) that forces uncontrolled growth, leading to plant distortion and death.
Key Uses and Targets:
Weeds Controlled: Effective against common chickweed, mouse-ear chickweed, plantain, clover, and buttercup. Suppresses creeping Charlie and black medick.
Safe Grass Types: Can be used on established turf or seedlings including red fescue, bluegrass, bentgrass, and ryegrass.
Application Rates: Typically applied at 5.5 to 8.5 liters per hectare (or 60 to 90 mL per 100 square meters) depending on whether the turf is newly seeded or established
