SFM 75 Sulfemeteron Herbicide

SFM 75 Herbicide, manufactured by Alligare, is a pre-and post-emergent herbicide designed to control grassy and broadleaf weeds in various sites.

It contains the active ingredient Sulfemeteron and is especially useful as a bare-ground herbicide when no plant life is desired in an area. The product comes in water-dispersible granules that can easily dissolve in water and be used as a spray.

Tools Needed

To use SFM 75 Sulfemeteron Herbicide, mix the product into your chosen sprayer, such as a backpack sprayer or professional spraying rig for large applications. You could also use a handheld pump sprayer for spot treatments.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much SFM 75 you need for the application by calculating the square footage you wish to treat. To do this, measure the treatment areas' length and width in feet and multiply the two values (length X width = square footage). To get acreage, take the square footage value and divide by one acre (square footage / 43,560 = acreage). Application on non-crop sites varies between 0.75. oz to 6 oz. per acre in 10 to 40 gallons of water. Specific rates depend on the weed being treated and the application site type.
• Step 2: Fill your sprayer tank with half the required amount of water and then add the appropriate amount of SFM 75 based on your calculations. Add the remaining half of the water and agitate the sprayer until the solution is well-mixed.
• Step 3: Spray the target weed, ensuring even coverage via the fan spray setting.
• Step 4: Check back after 2 weeks and reapply if necessary to get complete control.

Where to Use

Use SFM 75 Herbicide on non-crop sites such as highways, railroad and utility rights-of-way, roadsides and median strips, airports, sewage disposal areas; Uncultivated Agricultural Non-crop Areas including but not limited to farmyards, fuel storage areas, tank farms, fence rows, areas enrolled in Conservation Reserve Programs (CRP), soil bank land, barrier strips; and Outdoor Industrial Sites including but not limited to lumberyards, fuel, petroleum and chemical tank farms, pipelines, pumping installations, storage areas, and utility, refinery and industrial facilities.

When to Use

For pre-emergent control, use SFM 75 Herbicide before or during the early stages of weed growth and before weeds develop an established root system. Apply Alligare SFM 75 to young, actively growing weeds for best post-emergent results. Check the label to see if your target weed can be controlled by SFM 75. Spraying works best when moist soil and weeds are actively growing.

Safety Information

SFM 75 is safe for children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product.

Keep people and pets off treated areas until the product completely dries.

Special Considerations

Use SFM 75 at a higher rate for hard-to-control weeds and for a more long-term control of target weeds. Do not apply more than 8 ounces per acre per year.
