Turflon Ester, manufactured by Monterey, is a triclopyr based herbicide designed to control post-emergent broadleaf weeds and grasses.

This product is made to control grasses and weeds that have emerged or are established, not as a pre-emergent treatment. Turflon is highly concentrated, and is a powerful addition to any weed control or grass management program.

Tools Needed

Turflon Ester can be applied using a variety or application methods, including a pump sprayer, a hose end sprayer, a backpack sprayer, or a spray rig. We suggest using a 1 gallon pump sprayer for spot treatment around your home, or a hose end sprayer for broadcast spraying over lawns or ornamental gardens.

How to Use

• Step 1: If applying as a broadcast spray over a specific area, measure the square footage of the area in order to mix the correct amount of product. Refer to the label for the proper mix rates and measurement guidelines.
• Step 2: Fill your sprayer halfway with water. Measure out the required amount of product, according to the label, and add it to your sprayer. Fill the remaining amount of water, screw on the lid, and thoroughly agitate your sprayer to mix the product well. The mix will need to be agitated periodically during application to keep a proper emulsion.
• Step 3: Apply the product over the desired areas. Make sure to prevent any spray from drifting away from the desired areas, as the product could harm other plants.
• Step 4: Keep all pests and people off the treated areas until they’re dry. Some plants may require reapplication in 4 to 6 weeks, refer to the label for proper reapplications rates for your targeted plants.

Where to Use

Turflon Ester can be used on weeds in ornamental turf.

Do not apply this product directly to, or otherwise permit it to come into direct contact with cotton, grapes, peanuts, soybeans, tobacco, vegetable crops, flowers, citrus, fruit or orchard trees, shrubs or other desirable broadleaf plants.

Do not use on other turfgrass species such as bahiagrass, bentgrass, Bermudagrass, centipedegrass, St. Augustinegrass, or zoysiagrass unless turfgrass injury can be tolerated.

When to Use

You can apply Turflon Ester during warm times, from early spring through fall, when the weeds have emerged or are established. Only emerged weeds present at the time of application will be affected, so reapplication may be necessary after a few weeks.

Safety Information

It is necessary to wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing or applying Turflon Ester. Any drifting spray of this product can potentially harm nearby plants, so it can be beneficial to use a spray nozzle with larger water droplets and to apply on days that are less windy.

Special Considerations

Turflon Ester is highly concentrated, so accuracy when measuring and mixing is crucial, as inaccurate measurements can lead to varying results. Turflon is an emulsifiable concentrate, so it will need to be agitated regularly when it is mixed to keep a proper emulsion. Turflon should not be applied over certain grasses, as it will kill them as well as the weeds. Refer to the label for a list of affected grasses and weeds.
