2. Top Facts About Specticle
Broad-spectrum Control
Specticle controls a variety of annual grassy weeds, including bluegrass, Poa
annua, goosgrass and crabgrass. It also offers pre-emergent control of more
than 60 broadleaf weeds including eclipta, oxalis, dandelion, plantain, doveweed,
bittercress, clover, lespedeza, spurge, annual sedges and kyllingas.

3. Top Facts About Specticle
Enduring Control
You can trust Specticle to provide long-term weed control–even in difficult
conditions–for three to eight months, depending on the rate used.

4. Top Facts About Specticle
Applicator Friendly
Unlike other pre-emergent herbicides, Specticle will not stain or leave any odor
behind after application. In addition, Specticle may be combined with many post-
emergent herbicides to control existing weeds.

5. Top Facts About Specticle
Environmental Advantage
With Specticle, you achieve more while applying less. Specticle's use rates are
up to 40 times less than current standards, and it still provides longer residual
control.

first aid measures, please visit

Bulletin.

7. Mode of Action
Application
Specticle is mixed and loaded
into the sprayer, then applied
to the turf.

8. Mode of Action
Activation
Specticle treated area can be
activated by rainfall or
irrigation. After activation,
Specticle is distributed into the
soil.

9. Mode of Action
Weed Germination
Weed seed begins to
germinate and roots absorb
Specticle. Cellulose
biosynthesis is inhibited and
seedling growth stops. Unable
to develop roots and grow, the
weed seedling dies.

10. Resistance Management
There have been no documented cases of Specticle resistance to date.
Field tests have also shown that Specticle can control ALS, triazine,
dinitroaniline, and glyphosate-resistant weed species with no signs of
cross-resistance.
There are no known cases of resistance in monocotyledon grasses and
dicotyledonous weeds where herbicides containing CBI compounds were used.
Key examples of resistance documented in turfgrass include:
Poa annua: resistant to dinitroaniline, prodiamine, pendimethalin, oryzalin, and
triazine (atrazine and simazine) herbicides and dithiopyr.
Goosgrass: resistant to dinitroanilines and dithiopyr.

25. Testimonials
Kevin Baldwin
Golf Course Superintendent
Stoney Brook Golf Club at Heritage Harbour
Bradenton, Fla.
"I tried treating for Poa annua with a number of products before using
Specticle herbicide, and the best coverage I could achieve was 85
percent. With Specticle, I had 100 percent control for the entire winter
season with only one application–October through April."
"Specticle herbicide's eight-month control is unparalleled."

26. Testimonials
Tom Alex
Director of Golf Course Management
Grand Cyprus Golf Club
Orlando, Fla.
"Specticle gives me season-long control where you never see the
weeds emerge. It works so well; it's an 'apply it and forget it' type of
product. We don't have to worry about the weed pressure, and it's
wonderful. I was able to maintain 100 percent control with two
applications–one in the winter and another in the spring. After each
application, we didn't see any discoloration or stunting of growth, only
that we were weed-free."

27. Testimonials
Tom Alex
Director of Golf Course Management
Grand Cyprus Golf Club
Orlando, Fla.
"In the past year, my control on weeds has been absolutely
phenomenal. Specticle produced better results than any product I
used before. I can get 365 days-worth of control when applying
Specticle in the winter and spring. Specticle is changing the game for
pre-emergent herbicides with its rates and length of control. I've been
able to control 100 percent of my problems with Specticle."

28. Testimonials
Darren Davenport
Golf Course Superintendent
Forest Hills Golf Club
Augusta, Ga.
"For 11 years, I have been trying to control the Poa on our course by
applying every product you can imagine with no effect. Last September, I
applied Specticle herbicide to one of the most affected areas on the
course–a wide-open, wet fairway. After that one application of Specticle, I
had 95 percent weed (or poa) control that continued through the spring.
The other areas of my course, which were treated with different products,
started showing signs of Poa coming through in January. By incorporating
Specticle as the basis of my herbicide program, I'm now looking at having
the best control I've ever had while cutting my post-emergent product
costs by 25 percent."

Specticle provides turf managers a new tool to manage their budgets with
a better-planned herbicide application schedule.

herbicide applications.
Specticle delivers the lowest amount of active ingredient of any pre-emergent
herbicide currently used in turf.
Because Specticle carries a caution label, you can trust that you will have a
reduced risk to your applicators, golfers and homeowners.
Labor and fuel savings are apparent as a result of a reduced number of
applications.
