groundbreaking preemergent
TRANSCRIPT
There’s a new and powerful preemergent crabgrass herbicide on the market that
will change the way you look at your herbicide program. Echelon™ herbicide from
FMC Professional Solutions not only offers the long-residual crabgrass control you expect,
it also gives you preemergent control of sedges, tough grasses like goosegrass,
and a number of broadleaf weeds. But that’s not all. Echelon also helps you control
broadleaf weeds like dandelion and plantain present at the time of your preemergent
application. So your subsequent postemergent treatments are easier and more
profitable, because you will spend less time spot spraying and less money on
chemicals. Sound too good to be true? Read on, and we’ll show you how Echelon works.

• Sulfentrazone works by foliar contact to stop photosynthesis and provides fast, visible results on weeds present at application
• Sulfentrazone is also absorbed by the roots and inhibits energy production
• Prodiamine is absorbed by the roots and prevents root expansion
Echelon is a state-of-the-art formulation that combines the root-absorbed
activity of a seedling growth inhibitor with a fast-acting cell membrane
disruptor for unmatched preemergent performance. This dual mode of
action interferes with target weed growth by inhibiting cell division and
by disrupting photosynthesis, which prevents target weeds from absorbing
nutrients through the roots and from converting nutrients to energy –
destroying weeds from the top down and from the bottom up.
A new level of crabgrass controlUse Echelon when you need tough preemergent control of crabgrass
that lasts – or early postemergent control: up to four leaf. Applied in
single or split applications, studies show that Echelon stands tall among the
competition. In fact, when applied at 0.57 lb ai/acre, Echelon provides
90-percent control at 141 days after treatment and 88-percent after
177 days. Pretty impressive, especially when you factor in the larger
crabgrass treatment window – and the added preemergent control of
sedges, goosegrass and several broadleaf weeds made possible by
the dual mode of action.
So get ready to enjoy more satisfied customers, more flexibility to plan
your routes, an expanded window for preemergent applications, and fewer
broadleaf weeds after application.
Echelon attacks the entire weed. With two active ingredients at work simultaneously, both energy production and nutrient absorption are disrupted.
Dual mode of action
Echelon provides excellent preemergent crabgrass control, even at 177 DAT.

*Echelon G is a fertilizer granular.
Fig. 2
The one-of-a-kind Echelon formulation is like no other product on the market.
The dual mode of action, formulated as a liquid and fertilizer granular,
provides weed control greater than the sum of the individual active ingredients.
Studies show (Fig. 3 & 4) that the optimized Echelon formulation significantly
outperforms either of the active ingredients alone, when used for preemergent
control of grassy and broadleaf weeds. This one-two punch is what makes
Echelon so effective at helping you keep your turfgrass free of troublesome
weeds all season long.

That’s right, a preemergent herbicide with postemergent activity on more than
just crabgrass. Unlike other herbicides that only offer preemergent crabgrass
control, Echelon helps you get control of the already emerged weeds. When
applied at preemergent timing, Echelon provides preemergent control of
both crabgrass and nutsedge, and postemergent control of weeds such as
wild violet, dandelion and ground ivy (Fig. 5). Get more work done in a single
application with reliable, long-term preemergent control and fast, visible
results on existing weeds.
Two plus two equals more than four
Postemergent activity at preemergent timing
The cooperative effect of the dual-action formula in Echelon means you get far superior control than with either of the main ingredients alone.
