Description
ProForce Destro 375 Herbicide provides post-emergent control of Crowsfoot Grass and other specific grass weeds. This emulsifiable concentrate contains 375g/L of the active constituent Diclofop-methyl. Professionals use this herbicide for turf management and various agricultural cropping situations. It removes invasive grasses reliably. It maintains the health of established warm-season turfgrasses and specific broadleaf crops.
How does ProForce Destro 375 Herbicide work?
The herbicide inhibits the production of fatty acids within the target weed. Weed foliage absorbs the active ingredient primarily after application. Moist soil also allows for some secondary root uptake. The chemical then translocates to the growing points of the plant. There, it blocks the acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) enzyme. This disruption stops weed growth almost immediately. The plant then yellows and dies within two to three weeks.
What weeds does Destro 375 Herbicide control?
This herbicide works effectively against Crowsfoot Grass (Eleusine indica) in turf environments. In agricultural settings, Destro 375 controls Annual Ryegrass, Wild Oats, and Common Barbgrass. It targets these grass weeds specifically. It does not damage sensitive crops like wheat, linseed, and peas. For turf managers, it provides a specialised tool for maintaining weed-free Couch, Kikuyu, and Buffalo surfaces. It offers a reliable way to manage problematic grass populations.
What makes Destro 375 unique compared to other herbicides?
Destro 375 is a rare post-emergent option safe for Queensland Blue Couch and Kikuyu turf. Many other selective herbicides damage these turf species significantly. This makes Crowsfoot Grass control difficult without the right tools. Furthermore, users can spray it safely near ornamental garden beds and landscape plants. Public spaces like golf courses benefit from its lack of a re-entry period once the spray dries. This safety profile makes it a versatile choice for landscape professionals.
When is the best time to apply Destro 375?
Apply the herbicide when weeds are small and actively growing. Target the seedling to tillering stages for optimal results. Apply the product when temperatures stay below 25°C. Ensure the turf suffers no stress from drought or disease. Achieve the best performance by applying the product two to three days after mowing. This allows for sufficient leaf area for product absorption. Avoid mowing for at least 36 hours after application. This ensures the chemical has enough time to penetrate the plant.
