SpeedZone EW Broadleaf Herbicide
SpeedZone EW Broadleaf Herbicide
SpeedZone EW Broadleaf Herbicide, manufactured by PBI Gordon, is a selective post-emergent weed killer that works great in controlling a wide range of broadleaf weeds found on warm and cool-season grasses.
This emulsifiable concentrate products contains 4 main active ingredient among them Carfentrazone demonstrates fast, effective weed control of some of the toughest weed species like spurge, dollarweed, dandelion and white clover.
SpeedZone EW delivers a visual response within 24 hours, and weeds die usually within 7 to 14 days.
Tools Needed
To use Speedzone EW Broadleaf Herbicide, you will need a hand-operated sprayer (backpack sprayer, handheld sprayer, pump sprayer) for small turfgrass applications or a professional spray ring for large-volume broadcast applications.
How to Use
- Step 1: First, determine which weed(s) you are targeting, the turfgrass type and the square footage of the area to be treated. This is important because if applied in a non-labeled area, SpeedZone EW Broadleaf Herbicide may damage or kill the turf. To calculate square footage, measure and multiply the area length times the width (length x width = square footage). To treat weeds on cool-seasoned turf, spray 1.1 to 1.8 oz. of SpeedZone EW Broadleaf Herbicide per gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. For warm-seasoned turf, apply 0.75 to 1.5 oz. of product per gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. For example, if you have warm-season turfgrass and measured 3,000 sq. ft., you will need to mix 2.25 to 5.2 fl. oz. of Speedzone EW in at least 3 gallons of water.
- Step 2: In a sprayer tank, fill the tank halfway with the required amount of water and then add the proper measured amount of Speedzone EW Broadleaf Herbicide according to your calculations. Mix and fill the rest of the way with the required amount of water and then agitate the sprayer until the product is well-mixed.
- Step 3: Make a uniform application to targeted weeds, making sure not to overspray or overlap and prevent any drift, When using a flat fan nozzle tip, spray the weeds at a suitable height to get even coverage. Moving your arms, such as in a swinging motion, will not give you a uniform spray. After the application, wait at least 1 to 2 days before mowing and do not water the grass for at least 3 hours.
Where to Use
SpeedZone EW Broadleaf Herbicide can be used on warm-season and cool-season turfgrass on commercial or residential properties as well as golf course fairways, aprons, roughs, athletic fields, sod farms, roadsides, and cemeteries.
Labeled for use on cool season turf such as Kentucky bluegrass, annual bluegrass, annual ryegrass, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, red fescue, fine leaf fescue, creeping bentgrass, colonial bentgrass (excluding golf greens), smooth bromegrass, and orchardgrass.
Warm seasoned turf to be treated are Common Bermudagrass, hybrid bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, and buffalograss.
Do not apply this product to bentgrass mowed under 1/4 inch, St. Augustinegrass, bahiagrass, centipedegrass, seashore papsalum, carpetgrass, dichondria, legums, and lawns where desirable clovers are present.
When to Use
Apply SpeedZone EW to control broadleaf weeds when weeds are young and actively growing as this when they are weaker and more susceptible to herbicide treatments. Apply on calm (non-windy) days when rain is not in the immediate forecast.
Applications during winter-to-spring and fall-to-winter transition periods are not advised.

Special Considerations
SpeedZone EW Broadleaf Herbicide can actually be mixed with liquid fertilizers or adjuvants like surfactants or drift reducing agents, to give you a broader spectrum of control. But remember to always read labels for use restrictions and test your mixed solution on a small, discreet patch of grass to monitor any adverse effects.
