What is it?
Quinclorac is a post-emergent herbicide, which means it is effective after the weeds have already emerged from the soil. It is widely used for the control of broadleaf and grassy weeds, including crabgrass, dandelions, and clover. Quinclorac is particularly valued for its ability to target difficult-to-control weeds in both residential and commercial turfgrass settings.
How does it work?
When applied to the targeted weeds, Quinclorac is absorbed through the foliage and roots. It then travels throughout the plant, disrupting normal growth processes. This disruption leads to uncontrolled and unsustainable growth, causing the weed to die. Results from Quinclorac application can often be seen within a few days to a week, depending on the specific weed species and environmental conditions.
