What is Imprelis® What Does it Do?

Turf Magazine - November, 2010TURF SCIENCENew Products

“Imprelis® is readily absorbed by plant leaves and roots, stopping the growth of target weeds by interfering with the hormonal balance necessary for normal shoot and root development.”

What is Imprelis® What Does it Do?

Aminocyclopyrachlor & Clopylralid Clopyralid introduced...as a broadleaf

herbicide...

Clopyralid found in organics waste stream ...

Decomposition processes in compost...did not degrade the molecule.

Compost was herbicidal.

What is Imprelis® What Does it Do?

Similar to Clopyralid:

Long residual Not biodegradable High concentrations remained in plants Herbicidal impacts at very low concentrations Recycled in grass clippings/Tree leaves

Susceptible Plants?

To Date: all woody trees, shrubs, vines

Page 22: Imprelis ® Damage to Trees Primer

Treatments? Avoidance?

Damage is to new growth

Prune and remove damaged growth

Chemical moves with water...water moves down-hill

Page 23: Imprelis ® Damage to Trees Primer

Minnesota First Detectors

Treatments? Avoidance?

Remove all contaminated materials Capture and remove grass clippings, leaves,

wood and any other plant debris that might be contaminated through at least 2014

Replace contaminated soil As much as you can around the new planting site Amend existing soil remaining around the edges

with activated carbon
