Nufarm’s Allstar herbicide receives EPA registration

Nufarm‘s Allstar herbicide , a fast-acting herbicide for use on cool-season turfgrasses, received Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration. The herbicide was developed to single-handedly control grassy weeds, nutsedge and tough broadleaf weeds like spurge, clover, dollarweed, ground ivy, oxalis, wild violet and Virginia buttonweed, according to the company, and it will be available to order on this year’s Nufarm Edge Rewards Program. 
 
Allstar features a unique combination of four active ingredients — 2, 4-D, Quinclorac, Sulfentrazone and Triclopyr — to provide turfgrass professionals with a new tool to control an extensive spectrum of difficult-to-control weeds during the summer season. 
 
“Lawn care professionals working with cool-season lawns have been looking for a fast-acting, cost-effective solution for stubborn weeds like ground ivy, oxalis and wild violet,” said Jamie Heydinger, Nufarm lawn care segment lead . “Allstar’s formulation has prioritized effective loading across four key actives to provide customers with greater confidence in treating complex summer weed challenges without callbacks.” 
 
According to the company, Allstar’s formula provides visible results within hours of application and is labeled for many cool-season lawns with tall and fine fescues, annual and perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, annual bluegrass, rough bluegrass and bentgrass, as well as warm-season turfgrass, specifically hybrid and common Bermudagrass and zoysiagrass. 
 
Thanks to its wide treatment window throughout the summer season, Allstar is designed as a cost-effective solution for turfgrasses challenged with persistent, difficult-to-control weeds. Allstar availability and state registrations are expected through the fall of 2024 for use on residential and commercial lawns, sports turf and golf course fairways and roughs.
