Turf Care Supply, LLC offers a variety of professional, top performing pre- and post-emergent herbicide, and insecticide products to control unwanted weeds and pests on ornamentals and turfgrass.

Pre-emergent Herbicides are used to prevent seed germination by suppressing a key enzyme, which is a biocatalyst for plant growth. Pre-emergent herbicides are typically applied to turfgrass in the early spring and fall, to prevent weed seed germination. They will not affect any established plants or turf but will suppress new seed growth. In the spring, they should be applied prior to seed germination, when air temperatures reach 65–70°F for four consecutive nights. For best results in the fall, they should be applied when nighttime lows reach 55–60°F for four consecutive nights.

Prodiamine Herbicide controls certain grass and broadleaf weeds before they emerge and provides season-long control in established lawns and ornamentals in the landscape. Prodiamine Herbicide inhibits weed seed germination and root development in susceptible weeds. Prodiamine Herbicide will not control established weeds.

Benefits: 

• Offers superior crabgrass control from the first application to the last, eliminating the need to switch products after crab grass has germinated
• Can be applied with confidence to turf and ornamental settings, making it an ideal border-to-border solution
• Longer application window gives you more time to make applications
• Apply early or late in the season

Atrazine is an herbicide that kills both broadleaf and grassy weeds. It is the second most widely used herbicide in the United States. Atrazine is most commonly used in agriculture but is highly effective on turf as well.

Benefits: 

• Provides season-long pre-emergence and post-emergence control
• Safe for use on warm-season turf as well as conifers and ornamentals

Post-emergent herbicides are designed to control plants AFTER they have germinated and established in the soil. They are typically applied in the late spring or fall but can be applied throughout the season when weeds are actively growing. Post-emergent herbicides can be divided into two categories: selective and non-selective. Selective post-emergent herbicides have been engineered to target only weeds (typically broadleaf weeds), sparing most grasses and non-target plants. Non-selective post-emergent herbicides kill all plants, INCLUDING all grass types. 

Post-emergent herbicides also vary in their modes-of-action. Some are systemic herbicides, which means the herbicide is typically absorbed through the root system and transported throughout the plant. Systemic herbicides slowly kill all the tissues comprising a plant, both above and below ground. On the other hand, contact herbicides are typically applied foliarly and only kill the vegetative tissue they touch. In most cases, contact herbicides either disrupt photosynthesis or chemically burn the plant (which also indirectly affects photosynthesis).

A Specialty Herbicide which provides post-emergence control of over 250 broadleaf weeds including Chickweed, Clover Dandelion, Henbit, Oxalis, and Plantain. LAZER can be applied to warm and cool season turf. This herbicide enters the lawn weeds through their leaves and moves throughout the plant to provide control.

Insecticides are chemicals used to control insects by killing them or stopping them from engaging in destructive behaviors that harm plants or living beings. They are typically classified based on their chemical structure and mode of action.

Many insecticides control pests by effecting the insect's nervous system (e.g., cholinesterase inhibition), while others regulate the insect's growth or endotoxins.
