Description
Casper Herbicide
Casper is a selective post-emergent herbicide specifically formulated for use on turf. Casper provides highly effective control of broad leaf weeds. Casper is highly effective on weeds such as “spotted surge” and “creeping Oxalis”
Key Benefits
• Broad spectrum selective post-emergence herbicide for turf
• Highly effective in controlling many broadleaf weeds including Creeping Oxalis, Dandelion, Wireweed and many more
• Dual active ingredients, including prosulfuron, a new active for turf
• Convenient water dispersible granular formulation with economical rates
• Complete weed solution for turf in combination with BARRICADE and MONUMENT LIQUID
• Quick systemic action (xylem and phloem) with root, shoot and leaf uptake
How It Works
Casper as a post-emergent herbicide is taken up by leaves, shoots and roots of target weeds. Application targeted towards delivering Casper to thoroughly cover the leaves and shoots is best. Casper can be washed off the leaves and into the soil to promote root uptake for complete systemic action.
How To Apply
Apply to weeds after emergence for Autumn to early Spring. Complete control may take 4 to 6 weeks depending on weed growth when applied and soil temperature. Applications to control weeds should ideally be made when they are still actively growing and not towards the end of the growing cycle when plants are alive but not actively growing.
Weed death will generally take longer when applied during Winter. A repeat application may be needed in 4 to 6 weeks if wind was high weed pressure times or extended germination periods. Add a Wetting Agent to the mix to increase effectiveness.
