Abstract

‘Parandeul PlusⓇ’ (flazasulfuron·MCPA WG) is a herbicide for lawns registered by FarmHannong. This herbicide controls weeds by foliar treatment at the early stage of weed growth (within Digitaria ciliaris 3 leaf stage). Flazasulfuron, one of the main ingredients of Parandeul PlusⓇ, can effectively control Poaceae such as D. ciliaris, Echinochloa crus-galli, Poa annua, etc., broadleaved weeds such as Capsella bursa-pastoris, Chenopodium album, Conyza canadensis etc., as well as sedge weeds such as Cyperus microiria, C. rotundus, etc. In addition, MCPA can control broadleaf weeds such as Trifolium repens, Equisetum arvense, Rumex acetosella etc. by exhibiting plant hormone activity. This herbicide is safe for both the sprayer and the environment, but care must be taken when using it because it is harmful to western grass (bentgrass, Kentucky bluegrass etc.).
