Timing of Use.
You can use Tribute to remove undesirable grasses such as winter grass, ryegrass and Crowsfoot grass in actively growing couch grass. Weed control is faster at higher temperatures. If you plant to use Tribute as a transition aid, applications are best made in the Spring.
Crows foot grass is one of the most common annual grass weeds in turf during the Summer. In tropical areas the weed is a problem all year round. The symptoms of Tribute herbicide develop in the first week, but complete weed control takes several weeks at lower temperatures. For larger Crowsfoot plants you may need to make several applications of Tribute herbicide.
Spray program For Tribute Turf Herbicide
Tribute contains the active ingredient foramsulfuron (Herbicide Group 2).
Speed of removal depends on air temperature. Warmer temperatures result in faster removal. At temperatures of 21ºC and above, removal of cool-season grasses takes one week or less. If temperatures are 15ºC, or lower, removal takes two to three weeks or longer.
Turf managers are best to use Tribute as a transition aid when warm-season grasses are growing strongly, as they come out of dormancy.
To remove volunteer Ryegrass – or Clumpy Rye – apply when the desirable grass is actively growing. It is not advisable to use Tribute during cold periods in Winter.
You may need two or more applications of Tribute 7 to 14 days apart to control some grasses.
We recommend the use of Tank Aid to ensure that you clean any residual out of any spray equipment after you use this herbicide.
