18 Amicarbazone Proposed Label Controls broadleaf weeds such as hairy bittercress, common chickweed, cudweed species, henbit, parsley-piert and corn speedwell Can tankmix with 2,4-D, mecoprop, dicamba, clopyralid, fluroxypyr or triclopyr Targets: annual bluegrass control in bentgrass and bermuda overseeded with perennial ryegrass

19 Amicarbazone on Bentgrass Fairways and roughs 2 to 3 oz/a applied twice at 2 to 3 wk intervals Make 1 st appl after bent growth spurt in spring 50-80F temp range

20 Amicarbazone on Bentgrass Greens and tees 1 oz/a applied 4X at weekly intervals Make 1 st appl after bent growth spurt in spring 50-80F temp range End user advised to do tolerance test on small area if applying to bentgrass green It will be sole opinion of end user to say if benefit outweighs potential injury when spraying greens
