ISP ProForce Checkpoint 500SC Herbicide

ProForce Checkpoint 500SC Herbicide is a selective herbicide containing 500g/L of the active ingredient Propyzamide.

It is specifically registered for the pre and post-emergent control of Winter Grass (Poa annua) in established turf, with excellent safety on a range of warm-season turf varieties. The low application rates and high active ingredient loading make Checkpoint 500SC Herbicide a useful economical and an effective option for Winter Grass control. Offers a shorter-term residual pre-emergent option for Winter Grass, with early and midseason applications most effective.

Key Features

  • Offers pre & early post-emergent control, ensuring you can’t miss the application window.
  • Offers a shorter-term residual pre-emergent option for Winter Grass, early and mid-season. Defined residual period of 6-8 weeks allows flexibility around overseeding/renovation operations.
  • Useful resistance management rotational tool. Reduces reliance on Group B chemistry.
  • Root-absorbed herbicide. Can be irrigated into the rootzone and still be effective, reducing tracking concerns.
  • Effective in cooler conditions. Unlike SU chemistry, Checkpoint 500SC can be used successfully in winter.
  • Excellent tolerance to warm-season grasses. Reliable on warm season turf.
  • Reliable SC formulation. Easier to measure and add to the tank, whilst having useful tank mix flexibility.

Mode of Action

GROUP D HERBICIDE

Checkpoint 500SC is a soil acting, residual herbicide. It’s active ingredient, propyzamide, is readily absorbed by the weed’s root system. It works largely by preventing cell division. Checkpoint 500SC actively restricts cell division by preventing proteins required for spindle fibre production in a process called mitosis. Spindle fibres are critical in transferring DNA to new cells in the cell division process. As a result, Checkpoint 500SC applications prevent spindle fibres from forming, resulting in the prevention of cell division, leading to a limitation of growth and eventual weed death of susceptible plants. Control may only take a matter of weeks in good growing conditions. However, it can take months where plant growth is limited by temperature and light.
