“Newer” SU Herbicides TranXit - SU Manor, Blade- SU Corsair – SU Manage - SU Revolver - SU Monument – SU Velocity – Not an SU, but similar MOA
Amino acids Building blocks of plant proteins Enzymes mediate biochemical reactions Storage roles - seed reserves Structural roles

Other SU Herbicides in Development Flazasulfuron (Katana) -ISK BioSciences Sulfonylurea Sulfosulfuron (Battalion) – Monsanto Sulfonylurea
Flazasulfuron (Katana) -ISK BioSciences Bermuda, zoysia, centipede St. Augustine and cool-seasons not tolerant Spring transition aid, seedling crabgrass (<4-lf), nutsedge and kyllinga, numerous broadleaf weeds
Sulfosulfuron (Battalion)- Monsanto Bermuda (most tolerant), St. Augustine, centipede, zoysia Cool-season tolerance is low and highly rate dependent Spring transition aid, nutsedges, kyllinga
Fate of Herbicides Applied to Turf Water solubility - the extent to which a pesticide will dissolve in water Sorption by clay colloids and organic matter Adsorption - binding of a herbicide to the surface of a soil particle . Absorption - Penetrates into plant tissue Microbial degradation - influenced by herbicide concentration, temperature, moisture, pH, oxygen, microbial population
Fate of Herbicides Applied to Turf Chemical degradation and photodecomposition Hydrolysis, oxidation, reduction, and photodecomposition under field conditions Volatilization and evaporation - Loss due to an increase in temperature, vapor pressure, and wind movement. Plant uptake and metabolism - roots, shoots, leaves
Water Movement Surface runoff Leaching Capillary action
Factors That Affect Leaching
Mobility of Postemergence Herbicides in Soil (not conducted on turf)
Herbicide ½ Life Amount of time it takes a herbicide to reach one-half (t-1/2) of the originally applied concentration. Expressed in days, wks, months, yrs. 1.0 lb. Ai/acre 0.5 lb. Ai/acre
Postemergence Herbicides – Avg. t-1/2
SU Herbicide Lateral Movement Griffin, GA Lateral runoff facility 5% uniform slope Wobbler irrigation heads 1.25 inches per hour Tifway bermudagrass 0.5 inch clip height
SU Herbicide Lateral Movement Plots 25 ft. long Lower 10 ft. fall-seeded with perennial ryegrass Upper 15 ft. not overseeded Late January, applied to dormant bermuda Monument at 0.33 and 0.56 oz./acre Manor at 0.5 oz./acre TranXit at 2.0 oz./acre Kerb at 2.0 lbs./acre
SU Herbicide Lateral Movement Before application Applied 2.5 inches irrigation (2 hrs), 37% saturation Waited ~ 1hr, until foliage dried Applied herbicides Waited ~ 1hr, until foliage dried Applied 2.5 inches irrigation (2 hrs) Applied 0.5 inch irrigation water 24 HAT
SU Herbicide Lateral Movement WHAT HAPPENED?? Kerb – moved 8 ft. (76% injury) Monument 0.33 oz. – 0.7 ft (3%) Monument 0.56 oz. – 3 ft. (14%) Manor 0.5 oz. – 0.7 ft. (1) TranXit 2.0 oz – 0.6 ft. (1) NOTE: No significant injury occurred until 48 DAT
Can SU Herbicides Move? Yes, if: Surface film of water present at application Irrigation or rainfall immediately after application Not watering after foliage has dried Dew re-suspends and can cause tracking (prevent by watering in) Improperly adjusted irrigation heads
