About Arkon Herbicide Liquid
In 2023, Arkon™ Herbicide Liquid was approved for use in most U.S. states (excluding California and Alaska). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) previously approved Federal registration for the herbicide.
Now available nationwide, Arkon is labeled for use on established cool- and warm-season turfgrass species across a wide variety of use sites, including golf course greens, fairways, and roughs.
Utilizing the innovative and proprietary active ingredient Pyrimisulfan, Arkon provides dependable post-emergent control of sedges (yellow, purple, and annual), kyllinga (green false green, cockscomb, and annual), dollar weed, chickweed, henbit, and many other labeled broadleaf weeds. Additionally, research has shown that the liquid herbicide reduces the number and viability of nutsedge tubers.
Arkon is a low-rate, non-phenoxy product. The application rate is as follows:
- 1.2 to 1.7 fl. oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. (3.4 to 4.7 pt. per acre).
- The maximum annual use rate is 2.5 fl. oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. (7 pt. per acre, per year).
- For harder-to-control weeds, two applications at the 1.2 fl. oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. rate at 30 days apart should be considered.
