| PBI/Gordon introduces Katana herbicide |
| February 26, 2010 - Greenbook.net |
|
| PBI/Gordon Corp. introduced Katana Turf Herbicide at the Golf Industry Show in San Diego, Calif., last week. An agreement to market Katana in the professional turf management industry was signed by PBI/Gordon and Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha Ltd. (ISK) of Osaka, Japan in August 2009. In university tests, Katana has excelled in removing cool-season grasses from warm-season turf, including ryegrass, clumpy ryegrass, Poa annua, Poa trivialis and annual ryegrass. In addition to kyllingas, sedges and clumpy ryegrass, Katana controls a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds, reports Doug Obermann, product manager for Gordon's Professional Turf and Ornamental products. Katana can be used in bermudagrass, zoysiagrass and centipedegrass turf. Use sites include golf course fairways and roughs, commercial turf, athletic fields, cemeteries and sod farms. Katana has both foliar and root uptake and is effective at very low rates. Applications of Katana also have some residual control. |
