Vexis Herbicide Granular, manufactured by PBI Gordon, is a selective post-emergent herbicide formulated with a new proprietary active ingredient pyrimisulfan to deliver exceptional broadleaf weed control in both cool-seasoned and warm-seasoned turf.

The easy to use granular formulation eliminates the need to mix products resulting in reduced labor and faster application on wet or dry turf. Due to this design, the product also lessens potential for drift or off-target treatments helping to reduce inaccurate applications.

Vexis Herbicide Granular provides total elimination on emerged sedges, rush, and broadleaf weeds in established turfgrasses within commercial, residential, and golf course sites within 30 days.

Tools Needed

To apply Vexis Herbicide Granular, you will need to use a drop spreader, rotary spreader, or push spreader for the 15 lb size of this product. If you are using the 2 lb size, then you can apply the product directly from the container.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Vexis Herbicide Granular to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For acreage, take the square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acreage). Apply 2 lbs of Vexis Herbicide Granular per 500 sq. ft. or 174 lbs. of product per acre. Do not apply more than 8.26 lb of product per 1000 sq. ft. per year (360 lb of product per acre per year).
• Step 2: Calibrate your spreader to the proper settings as suggested on the product label. Load the measured amount of Vexis Herbicide Granular into the spreader. For the 2 lb canister, simply open the flip-top on the lid to use it. Notch 1 provides ideal coverage.
• Step 3: Spread the Vexis Herbicide Granular onto wet or dry turf starting at the border of the treatment area at a steady pace. Then, move towards the center in a straight line pass until the turf is evenly covered. Close the spreader opening when turning to change directions or when stopping. To use the 2 lb size canister size, just shake the product out in a consistent motion over the weeds. Water-in granules within 48 hours after treatment. Postpone mowing until granules are watered-in. Do not retreat within 30 days of initial application.
