Trifloxysulfuron is a sulfonylurea herbicide that acts as an ALS (acetolactate synthase) inhibitor, disrupting the amino acid synthesis pathway in target weeds. It is highly effective on sedges, grassy weeds like crabgrass, and various broadleaf species, making it ideal for selective weed control in warm-season turf systems.
After foliar or root uptake, Trifloxysulfuron moves upward and downward within the plant’s vascular system. It:
Inhibits cell division and protein synthesis
Stops weed growth within hours to days
Causes chlorosis, stunting, and eventual complete weed death within 2–4 weeks
This systemic effect ensures deep, root-level kill and minimizes weed regrowth.
Trifloxysulfuron is safe for:
Bermudagrass
Zoysiagrass
Other warm-season turf varieties
It controls target weeds without harming desirable turfgrass, making it an excellent tool for:
Golf courses
Sports fields
Residential and commercial lawns
Controls both:
Grassy weeds: crabgrass, goosegrass, signalgrass
Sedges: yellow nutsedge, purple nutsedge, Cyperus iria
Broadleaf weeds: spurge, clover, chickweed, plantain
Its ability to suppress mixed weed populations reduces the need for multiple herbicides.
Rainfast in as little as 4 hours
One application can last several weeks, reducing frequency of treatment
Compatible with tank mixes (verify local label guidelines)
Trifloxysulfuron offers professional-grade control, turf safety, and convenience—making it a high-demand product for turf care distributors and service providers.
POMAIS Trifloxysulfuron 11% OD is delivered as an oil dispersion (OD) formulation, which enhances:
Leaf surface coverage
Rainfastness
Absorption into waxy-leafed weeds like sedges
The formulation is ideal for professional turfgrass applications, particularly in warm-season lawns where selectivity and residual control are essential.
Active Ingredient: Trifloxysulfuron-sodium
Formulation Type: 11% OD (Oil Dispersion)
Appearance: Homogeneous, stable oil-based liquid
Mode of Entry: Absorbed by leaves and roots, translocated throughout the plant
Crop | Target Weeds | Dosage | Application Method |
---|---|---|---|
Warm-season turfgrass | Crabgrass, goosegrass, foxtail | 300–450 ml/ha | Foliar spray |
Warm-season turfgrass | Sedges (Cyperus spp.), broadleaves | 300–450 ml/ha | Foliar spray |
Spray volume: 200–300 L water/ha
Best applied to actively growing weeds, at 2–6 leaf stage for grasses or early vegetative stage for broadleaves/sedges
Apply when weeds are young and actively growing
Avoid mowing turf 2 days before and after spraying
Repeat if necessary after 3–4 weeks, depending on regrowth pressure
Compatible with other post-emergent turf herbicides, but always conduct a jar test before large-scale mixing
Do not mix with strongly acidic or alkaline products
Can be enhanced with a non-ionic surfactant if allowed by local regulations
Trifloxysulfuron 11% OD delivers precise and selective control with low application rates, making it an efficient solution for professional turf maintenance and cost-conscious weed management programs.
Trifloxysulfuron 11% OD is specifically developed for warm-season turfgrass systems, delivering strong post-emergent control of troublesome grassy and broadleaf weeds, as well as sedges. Its selectivity profile makes it a trusted solution for high-value, professionally managed turf where visual quality and weed control must coexist.
Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) – golf courses, sports fields
Zoysiagrass – residential and decorative lawns
Centipedegrass (with caution; test on small area first)
Other warm-season turf varieties (as locally labeled)
Trifloxysulfuron is not recommended for cool-season grasses (e.g., Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, ryegrass) due to potential phytotoxicity.
Large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis)
Goosegrass (Eleusine indica)
Foxtail species
Signalgrass
Purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus)
Yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus)
Cyperus iria and other sedge species
Spurge (Euphorbia spp.)
Clover (Trifolium spp.)
Chickweed (Stellaria spp.)
Plantain (Plantago spp.)
Its activity on multiple weed classes in one treatment minimizes the need for multiple products or reapplications.
Turf may show slight temporary discoloration under stress, but recovers quickly
No stunting or residual phytotoxicity observed under recommended rates
Application at recommended growth stages ensures healthy turf recovery and strong weed suppression
With strong selectivity and a broad weed spectrum, Trifloxysulfuron is a go-to choice for turf professionals, delivering clean lawns and satisfied clients season after season.
Trifloxysulfuron belongs to the sulfonylurea class of herbicides and functions as an acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor. This enzyme is crucial for the biosynthesis of essential branched-chain amino acids in plants, including valine, leucine, and isoleucine. Blocking ALS activity disrupts protein synthesis, halts cell division, and ultimately causes the weed to die.
After foliar or root absorption, Trifloxysulfuron moves through the:
Xylem (upward movement to shoots)
Phloem (downward movement to roots)
This dual translocation ensures that the herbicide reaches all active growing points, including:
Meristems
Root tips
Leaf axils
This systemic property allows for complete kill of even underground tissues like rhizomes and sedge tubers.
Growth cessation begins within 24–48 hours
Followed by chlorosis (yellowing) and reddening of leaf tips
Apical meristems stop dividing
Death occurs over 2–4 weeks, depending on species and conditions
This slow but complete mode of action allows turf to outcompete dying weeds with minimal disruption.
Trifloxysulfuron selectively targets broadleaf weeds, sedges, and certain grasses due to:
Differential ALS sensitivity between weeds and turfgrass
Enhanced metabolism in tolerant turf species like Bermudagrass, which detoxify the active compound before damage occurs
This allows for weed-specific control with minimal risk to established warm-season turf under labeled conditions.
Trifloxysulfuron’s ALS-inhibition mechanism provides long-lasting and targeted control, making it a dependable component in resistance management and selective turf weed control programs.
