Triad Select Herbicide, manufactured by Prime Source LLC, is an easy to use post-emergent herbicide meant to eliminate the toughest of broadleaf weeds like dandelions and henbit.

Its flexible application rate, allows Triad Select Herbicide to mix with other liquid fertilizers or liquid iron materials. Triad Select Herbicide is ideal to use on turf grass applications, non-crop areas, and golf courses.

Triad Select features three selective herbicides (with an active ingredient of dimethylamine salt of 2,4-D 30.89%, dimethylamine salt of MCPA 8.23#, and dimethylamine salt of dicamba 2.77%) for fast and effective weed elimination. After application, Triad Select Herbicide will move through the targeted plant causing weed stems to curl and twist, leading to the death of the weed.

Tools Needed

To use Triad Select Herbicide, you will need to mix the product into a sprayer of choosing such as a backpack, hose-end or hand-pump sprayer. For the average job, a hand-pump gallon sprayer works best. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as long-sleeved shirts, tennis shoes, long pants, protective eye wear (goggles, mask, face shield), chemical resistant gloves, and a chemical resistant apron when mixing or loading chemicals.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Triad Select Herbicide to use, by measuring the size of the treatment area. To do this, measure and multiply the length and width to get the total square footage of area to be treated (length X width = square footage) For general turf and ornamental applications, you will apply 1.1 to 1.5 fl. oz of Triad Select Herbicide per gallon of water per 1,000 sq.. For acreage, you will apply 4 pints of Triad Select Herbicide per 220 gallons of water per acre, no more than 10 pints of this product can be used per year. Higher volumes of water may be used when mixed with a turf fertilizer. Follow fertilizer labels for proper amount of water to add. Refer to the label for specific rates.
• Step 2: For a pump sprayer or backpack sprayer application, add half of the measured water to the spray tank, then add the appropriate amount of Triad Select Herbicide, and fill the rest of the way with water. Agitate until spray mixture is even.
• Step 3: Adjust your spray nozzle setting to a low pressure spray, and apply an even application of the spray mixture to target areas until completely wet, but not to the point of run off.

Where to Use

Triad Select Herbicide may be used on warm and cool-seasoned grasses on ornamental turf lawns (residential, industrial, and institutional), parks, cemeteries, athletic fields, golf courses, fairways, sod farms, and non-cropland areas including roadsides (aprons, guardrails, airports, and industrial sites).

Cannot be used near green houses or non-cropland areas where commercial timber and plants are being grown for sale, or in areas for other commercial uses such as research or seed production.

When to Use

Triad Select Herbicide can be applied anytime in the year, but it is best to use when weeds are actively growing in the spring, grass is out of dormancy, and when rainfall is not predicted within 4 hours after application. Apply on calm, warm days when weather temperatures are about 50°F or more, (this occurs usually in the Spring or early Summer). Spray on a day when it is not windy to reduce the chances of drift.

Keep in mind for turf applications, you cannot mow the area 1 to days prior or after application.
