Insecticides for turf
The following charts provide a quick, four-page reference that allows you to compare chemical products available to help you rid turf of insect pests.
You’ll find a table that lists insects across the top and active ingredients of products down the left side. Once you locate the insect you’d like to target, slide down to see the active ingredients designed to control it. There’s also additional info in the table about each active ingredient: to which chemical class it belongs (helpful if you are trying to rotate chemicals in an effort to limit resistance); its mode of action, which tells you if the insects have to ingest the product or simply be exposed to it; and its form of application: bait, dust, granular or spray.
Go to page 6 to find the brand names and suppliers for each of the active ingredients listed in the table. Remember, these specification charts are only for reference. They are not a recommendation for use.

Fungicides for Turf
Turf disease can be the most intimidating attack on turfgrass. To help, this section of the guide focuses on fungicides and provides a reference for controlling your turf disease problems, all in one concise format.
You’ll find two tables profiling the chemicals for fighting turf disease. The first lists chemicals using the active ingredient (common name) of the fungicide and specifies the mode of action as either contact or systemic. Contact fungicides generally are applied to the leaf and stem surfaces and do not move appreciably within the plants. Systemic fungicides are absorbed and translocated within the plant. This chart also defines the fungicide group, which is an important factor for avoiding resistance. Using the same fungicide each time to treat a disease can result in reduced efficacy, so you’ll want to rotate the chemicals you use repeatedly. Next are the formulations for each active ingredient (liquid or granular, for example). Lastly, the table specifies diseases you can control with each active ingredient and designates with a “P” or “C” whether the fungicide can be used for preventive or curative treatments, or both.
On page 12, you’ll find brand names and suppliers for each active ingredient. Below is contact information for manufacturers and suppliers.

Herbicides for Turf
Controlling weeds is arguably the top pest-related problem for turf managers. We’ve designed the following charts to provide a unique reference, covering nearly all turf herbicides and weeds in a format that allows youto easily find the chemical solutions to your weed problems.
You’ll find a list of active ingredients and the weeds (grassy and broadleaf) they control and a table at the end of the charts where you can cross-reference active ingredients to find the brand name of chemical you want and a list of suppliers.
When you turn this page, you’ll find charts that describe every chemical (by common name or active ingredient) listed within the herbicide guide. These pages describe each chemical’s characteristics.
The charts beginning on page 20 and 21 list which of these chemicals (by active ingredient and divided into pre-emergence controls and post-emergence controls) to use to control grassy weeds and sedges. Following are herbicides that control broadleaf weeds, divided into pre-emergence and post-emergence catagories. Finally, you’ll find a list of chemical brand names and who supplies them. See contact information below.
