Group 2 Herbicide

Proforce Recondo 100WG is a broad spectrum selective herbicide containing the active ingredients Trifloxysulfuron sodium (100g/kg). It is registered for the control of a broad range of key grass, sedge and broadleaf weeds in a number of turfgrasses including Bermudagrass, Zoysia, Durban Grass and Queensland Blue Couch. Recondo 100WG is a 100g/kg Water Dispersible Granule formulation, manufactured in Australia and is a nonscheduled chemistry.

Key Features

• 10% water dispersible granular formulation, optimising ease of use and storage stability.
• Broad spectrum of activity. Registered for the control of 9 broadleaf weeds, 4 grass weeds and 2 sedge species.
• Strong activity on hard to kill broadleaf weeds such as Creeping Oxalis, Cotula and Curled Dock.
• Effective sedge control – great activity on Nutgrass and Mullumbimby Couch.
• Reliable suppression on key grass weeds in Kikuyu and Bahiagrass.
• Non-scheduled – optimising safety for users and the general public.
• Convenient packaging – comes in an easy to handle and pour bottle with a measure included for accurate application. It is available in a 100g and 500g pack sizes.
• Proven safety characteristics to Common Couch, Hybrid Couch, Queensland Blue Couch and Zoysia turf.

Maximising Performance:

• The addition of a non-ionic surfactant (eg. Octane Extender, Sticker Spreader or Voltage MSO) will enhance herbicidal performance.
• Ensure product placement as uniformly as possible onto leaves and into crowns. Ideal application water volume should be 400-800L/ha. Nozzles outputting Course spray droplets should only be used.
• Do not use on Bentgrass, Buffalo, Centipede Grass, Fescue, Kikuyu, Paspalum or Ryegrass turf surfaces as severe turf injury will occur.
• Avoid application within 10m upwind of bent grass greens. Do not apply to golf course putting greens.
• Avoid application to newly seeded, sodded or sprigged turf. Delay application until turf is at 100% cover and the root system is developed beyond a 5cm depth.
• Allow at least 6 weeks between the last application and overseeding with cool season turf grasses.
• Transient discolouration may occur when applied to Qld Blue Couch, Zoysia. 
• For Kikuyu suppression make 2 applications 21-28 days apart. Best results are gained from Autumn applications.

Weeds Controlled

SEDEGES

• Mullumbimby Couch (Cyperus brevifolius)
  
• Nutgrass (Cyperus rotundus)

GRASSY WEEDS

• Crowsfoot Grass (Eleusine indica)
  
• Summer Grass (Digitaria ciliaris)
  
• Ryegrass (Lolium perenne)
  
• Bahia Grass (Paspalum notatum) – suppression only

BROADLEAF WEEDS

• White Clover (Trifolium repens)
  
• Bindii (Soliva sessilis)
  
• Creeping Oxalis (Oxalis corniculata)
  
• Common Chickweed (Stellaria media)
  
• Wild Strawberry (Duchesnea indica)

These weeds are selectively controlled or suppressed in turfgrass species such as couch grass, buffalo grass, and zoysia when Indigo Recondo 100 WG is applied as directed.

Mode of Action

The active ingredient in Recondo 100 WG, Trifloxysulfuron sodium is a member of the sulfonylurea herbicide group. Trifloxysulfuron sodium kills susceptible weeds by inhibiting biosynthesis of essential amino acids, valine and isoleucine (ALS inhibitor). In plants, Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and they are primary components in the machinery of cells. Without the production of amino acids, the susceptible weed ceases growth, and dies over a 14-28 day period. Trifloxysulfuron sodium possesses full systemic activity within the plant and is both xylem and phloem mobile. Trifloxysulfuron sodium is also taken into the plant via the roots, shoots and foliage.
