This might be the ticket for grassy weed control. The properties of the AI are nothing like Imprelis or Lontrel. Pylex will not move down in the soil far enough to kill trees.

It will never be allowed on turf. I do not want to ever see it on turf because the effect is not limited to legumes and asters like how Lontrel is. Pasture and IVM only. 2 oz per acre for Pylex vs 4 for Tenacity. BTW. Tenacity will not kill totally healthy, non dormant bermuda not compromised by other herbicides.
