PBI-Gordon Corporation will feature Aethon® Herbicide SL for Turfgrass — its newest liquid herbicide innovation for turfgrass professionals who care for southern, warm-season grasses such as Floratam, Bitterblue, and other improved varieties of St. Augustinegrass — at the 2024 ELEVATE Conference and Expo (November 3–6 in Charlotte, N.C.).
Aethon utilizes a proprietary blend of active ingredients Pyrimisulfan and Penoxsulam. Research has shown that it delivers dependable post-emergent control of sedges (yellow, purple, and annual), kyllinga (green, false green, cockscomb, and annual), dollarweed, doveweed, ground ivy, chickweed, plantain, and several labeled broadleaf weeds in a time-saving, single application. Additionally, Aethon reduces the number and viability of nutsedge tubers.
PBI-Gordon will be located at ELEVATE booth 1425 in the Charlotte Convention Center. Aethon will be featured alongside other leading PBI-Gordon products for the professional lawn care industry:
