Monument 75WG is a post-emergent herbicide used to control various weeds in warm-season turf, including sedges, Poa annua, and other broadleaf and grassy weeds. It's a selective herbicide, meaning it targets specific weeds while minimizing harm to desirable turfgrasses like bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, and buffalograss. It works by inhibiting weed growth at the biochemical level.
Key Features: Weeds Controlled: Monument 75WG effectively controls all major sedge species, green kyllinga, oxalis, Poa annua, and many other broadleaf and grassy weeds. Turfgrasses: It's primarily used on warm-season turf, such as golf courses, sod farms, and commercial landscapes. It can be applied to bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, and buffalograss. Application: It's a post-emergent herbicide, meaning it's applied after weeds have emerged. It can be used for broadcast or spot treatments.
Application Timing: For best results, apply when weeds are actively growing and during early stages of development. Surfactant: Adding a non-ionic surfactant, like a methylated seed oil (MSO) or crop oil concentrate (COC), can improve its effectiveness. Rainfastness: Monument 75WG is rainfast within 3 hours of application.
Transition Assistance: It can assist in the transition from cool-season grasses to warm-season grasses by removing over-seeded, cool-season grasses. Important Considerations: Mowing: Avoid mowing 1-2 days before and after application for optimal results. Soil Moisture: Weed control is improved when the soil has sufficient moisture and weeds are actively growing. Reapplication: You may need to reapply Monument 75WG 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment for optimal weed control.
Environmental Conditions: Environmental conditions, weed size, and application rates can affect the degree of control. Where to Use: Commercial Landscapes: Golf courses, sod farms, commercial properties, and other non-residential turf areas. Residential Lawns: Except in California, Monument 75WG can be used on residential lawns. In summary, Monument 75WG is a powerful and versatile herbicide for controlling a wide range of weeds in warm-season turf, offering both post-emergent control and transition assistance.
