MCPA, quinclorac, dicamba, and sulfentrazone herbicide is a highly effective product designed for the integrated control of turf weeds, utilizing a multi-selective herbicide combination of four active ingredients: MCPA, Quinclorac, Dicamba, and Sulfentrazone. Through the synergistic action of different mechanisms of action, this formulation provides excellent control of a wide range of broadleaf, grass and sedge weeds, while being safe for most turfgrass species.
Active Ingredients and Mechanism of Action
1. MCPA (2-Methyl-4-Chlorophenoxyacetic Acid)
Main Functions:
MCPA is a selective broadleaf weed control agent that mimics the function of the plant’s endogenous growth hormone (auxin), resulting in overgrowth, cellular dysregulation, and eventual wilting and death of the target weed.
Target Weeds:
Ragweed
Chicory
Creeping Charlie
Features:
Highly effective against broadleaf weeds
Safe for grassy turfgrass species
2. Quinclorac (3,7-Dichloro-8-Quinolinecarboxylic Acid)
Key Features:
Quinclorac is a unique selective herbicide effective against grass weeds and some broadleaf weeds. Its mechanism of action destroys weed growth by inhibiting cell division and cellulose synthesis.
Recommended Reading: Fenoxaprop and Quinclorac
Target Weeds:
Crabgrass
Foxtail
Pigweed
Features:
Uniquely effective against grass weeds
Systemic conductivity, continuous control
3. Dicamba (3,6-Dichloro-2-Methoxybenzoic Acid)
Key Features:
Dicamba is a highly effective broadleaf weed control agent that disrupts the cellular metabolism and homeostasis of weeds by mimicking the action of plant hormones. Its powerful systemic properties allow it to spread rapidly to the growing point of the plant.
Target Weeds:
Dandelion
Chicory
Plantain
Characteristics:
Quickly removes broadleaf weeds
Fights stubborn weed species
4. Sulfentrazone (N-[2,4-Dichloro-5-[4-(Difluoromethyl)-4,5-Dihydro-3-Methyl-5-Oxo-1H-1,2,4-Triazol-1-Yl]Phenyl]Methanesulfonamide)
Key Features:
Sulfentrazone is a fast-acting PPO inhibitor that disrupts cell membranes of target weeds within hours of application. It has both pre-emergence and post-emergence activity and is particularly effective against weeds in the Salix family.
Target Weeds:
Yellow Nutsedge
Purple Nutsedge
Speedwell
Characteristics:
Fast acting
Soil activity provides long-lasting protection
Product Benefits
1. Broad spectrum weed control
Broadleaf weeds: ragweed, dandelion, endive, etc.
Gramineous weeds: cricket grass, dogwood.
Weeds of sedge family: yellow sedge, purple sedge.
2. Synergistic effect
Through the different mechanisms of action of the four components, it can realize the combination of quick-acting and long-term-acting, pre-emergence and post-emergence control, and ensure the comprehensive weed management effect.
3. Safe for turfgrass species
It is safe for common turfgrass species (e.g. tall fescue, bermudagrass, etc.), without obvious drug damage.
4. Convenient application
Liquid formula is easy to spray evenly, can be used by ordinary backpack sprayer or professional lawn spraying equipment, saving time and labor.
Scope of application
Lawn Maintenance
Specially designed for residential areas, sports fields and public green areas to ensure a clean and beautiful lawn.
Agricultural fields
For use on fields with tolerant crops such as corn and wheat to control broadleaf and grass weeds.
Non-cultivated fields
For long term weed clearance on roads, industrial areas and parks.
Application Recommendations
Timing of application
Broadleaf weeds: Best results are achieved by applying when weeds are young to growing.
Gramineous weeds: Apply when the cricket grass is at the 1-3 leaf stage.
Salicaceae weeds: Apply at the peak growth stage.
Mixtures and Additives
Methylated Seed Oil (MSO) may be added to enhance penetration.
Dilute according to label directions to avoid overdosing.
Coverage
Ensure spraying is uniform and weeds are well covered for best results.
Precautions
Neighboring Sensitive Plants
Avoid spraying on ornamentals, shrubs or other non-target plants.
Environmental conditions
Apply on sunny and windless days to prevent drift and evaporation.
Human and Animal Safety
Allow pets and humans to enter the sprayed area only after it has dried.
Summary
This selective herbicide containing MCPA, Quinclorac, Dicamba and Sulfentrazone offers turf and agricultural users an excellent solution through its broad-spectrum, fast-acting and long-lasting weed management capabilities. It is an innovative product in weed management that not only completely eliminates a wide range of weeds, but also maintains the healthy growth of turfgrass species.
