ISP ProForce Echelon G Herbicide & Fertiliser 15:1:17

ProForce Echelon G Herbicide & Fertiliser features a unique combination of herbicide and fertiliser technology for effective preemergent control of Summergrass (Digitaria ciliaris), Crowsfoot (Eleusine indica), Wintergrass (Poa annua) and Creeping Oxalis (Oxalis corniculata).

ProForce Echelon G Herbicide & Fertiliser contains 10g/kg Oxadiazon and is coated on a 300SGN (3mm) dust-free, homogenous granular fertiliser for uniform nutrient distribution resulting in sustained turf growth for a 4-8 week period.

The fertiliser granule has a balanced Nitrogen (15%) to Potassium (17%) fertiliser ratio, with the addition of Phosphorus (1.6%) and a range of trace elements including Magnesium (1.8%), Sulphur (10%), Boron (0.02%), Iron (0.06%) and Zinc (0.01%).

Key Features

  • Combination product. Pre-emergent herbicide and turf fertiliser in one pass. Saves application time and associated costs.
  • Season-long prevention for a range of weeds. Protection for 90-120 days.
  • The pre-emergent herbicide, Oxadiazon is a shoot-absorbed pre-emergent herbicide, having the least amount of impact on the root system.
  • Echelon G pre-emergent herbicide offers a Group 14 (formerly G) mode of action and is ideal as a resistance management tool.
  • Convenient and easy to apply through granular fertiliser spreaders.
  • Safer to handle and apply due to the low active ingredient concentrations.
  • Promotes a healthy turf response which increases competition from weeds.

Mode of Action

GROUP 14 HERBICIDE

Oxadiazon, the active ingredient in Echelon G Herbicide and Insecticide is a pre-emergent herbicide, which offers excellent residual performance on key turf weeds in all turf situations.

Oxadiazon has a unique mode of action (Group 14, previously G) involving shoot absorption rather than root uptake. It interrupts chlorophyll production (a key component of photosynthesis) in the susceptible weed, destroying the new leaves of weed seedlings germinating in the treated soil. As chlorophyll is only in plant leaves, oxadiazon herbicide cannot impact on the root system of the desirable turf species.

Controlling weeds before they emerge prevents competition with turf for nutrients, water and space, resulting in better turf density.

It also eliminates the need for post-emergent treatment, which have limited effectiveness with heavy infestations and unfavourable weather conditions, and may also have potential to cause turf damage.
