Top 10 things to know with StriCore® Herbicide

1. First New Pre-Emergent in Over a Decade

StriCore® Herbicide is the first pre-emergent with a new active ingredient in over a decade. It’s a brand-new solution designed to tackle tough-to-control weeds in field-grown nurseries, beneath containers and bare ground application. It’s the innovation nurseries have been waiting for.

2. Effective Against Hard-to-Control Weeds

Target weeds include oxalis, hairy bittercress, pigweed, yellow nutsedge, Poa annua, crabgrass, goosegrass, and more.

3. Underutilized Mode of Action With Excellent Crop Safety

StriCore inhibits weed shoot growth instead of root growth. When applied to bare ground, around containers or base of trees, StriCore will not cause damage to the canopy. Avoid direct contact between StriCore and foliage or flowers.

4. Broad-Spectrum Resistance Management

StriCore is ideal for areas with known or suspected resistance challenges. Incorporating it into pre-emergent programs reduces reliance on Group 3 (such as prodiamine) and Group 21 (such as isoxaben) herbicides, providing a balanced, diversified weed management approach.

5. Versatile Application Sites

StriCore is approved for use in newly transplanted and established field nursery stock, bare ground applications, under containers, and various other nursery production settings.

6. Flexible Tank-Mix Compatibility

Enhance weed control efficacy and longevity by tank-mixing StriCore with other pre-emergent herbicides to expand the spectrum and duration of weed control. This flexibility helps to minimize the potential for herbicide resistance.

7. User-Friendly Application

Apply as a directed spray toward bare ground or base of plants. Avoid over-the-top application on desirable species, and use irrigation to wash off any accidental foliage contact.

8. Optimized for Pre-Emergent Programs

Overlapping pre-emergent herbicide applications and tank mixes are key to maximizing StriCore’s efficacy. Start with clean, weed-free ground and activate with at least 0.25 inches of irrigation within seven days of application.

9. Non-Staining, Low-Odor Formulation

StriCore is easy to use, environmentally considerate, and compatible with diverse application methods.
