Post-emergent Brachiaria spp. & Goosegrass herbicide

Zeal

  • Eradicate Brachiaria spp. & Goosegrass, at any size, in one shot

  • Broad-spectrum, highly efficacious toward young weeds (<2 inches)

  • Popular alternative to costly pre-emergent treatment

  • Excellent price-to-performance ratio

Zeal is a selective, broad-spectrum, post-emergent herbicide. It safely and effectively controls some of the most noxious weeds that plague both warm- and cool-season turfs, such as brachiaria spp., crabgrass, goosegrass, dallisgrass, sandbur, dandelion, morning glory, and yellow nutsedge.

​

What's more, Zeal surpasses any competition in its ability to completely eradicate goosegrass and brachiaria spp., at any size, with only one treatment. 

​

In addition to its high specificity towards goosegrass and brachiaria spp., Zeal delivers broad-spectrum efficacy at early weed stages. For this reason and its excellent price-to-performance ratio, Zeal is a popular early post-emergent herbicide alternative to a costly large-scale pre-emergent treatment program for a clean and green turf all season long.
