What weeds does Fairway Turf Herbicide target in Turf;

What are the benefits of dual modes of action (Group C & I) in Fairway Turf Herbicide;

Bromoxynil, one of the active ingredients in Fairway Herbicide, is a fast-acting nitrile herbicide (Group C) that works on contact by inhibiting photosynthesis in target plants.  The compound is readily absorbed into leaves with little to no downward movement to other plant parts.  Susceptible weeds quickly die from the build-up of molecules that destroy cell membranes.

The other 2 active ingredients in Fairway Turf Herbicide are MCPA and dicamba (Group I).  These active ingredients are hormone-type selective herbicides in the phenoxy category.  MCPA and dicamba provide systemic activity through leaf and root absorption.  They upset the normal hormone balance within the plant. Auxin mimic herbicides cause unregulated plant growth, resulting in symptoms on susceptible plants that include growth and reproduction abnormalities (especially on new growth).

Broadleaf weed species exhibit stem and petiole twisting (epinasty), leaf malformations, parallel venation, crinkling, leaf strapping, stem callus formation, and stunted root growth.  Plant death is gradual, due to unconstrained mobilization of reserves, however generally symptoms are observed within 7 – 14 days following application.
