Uses and applications
What the substance is used for, by industry and function
Controls many annual, biennial, and perennial grasses and annual broadleaf weeds growing in noncropland, and reforestation areas including certain conifers and hardwoods. Effective for control of johnsongrass. Gives contact and residual control, used alone and in combination with other residuals for nonselective use. Also recommended for selective weed control in bermudagrass, bahiagrass, crested wheatgrass, and smooth brome on noncrop sites.
Sulfometuron methyl is a nonselective, sulfonyl urea herbicide. It is labeled for commercial pre and post-emergent applications to manage annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses in non-agricultural sites (i.e., forestry, rights of way, non-crop industrial sites, and unimproved turf).
