Stephen H. Brown, Horticulture Agent Dick Dutton, Master Gardener Lee County Extension Fort Myers, Florida 33916-3736 (239) 533-7513, [email protected] Survey of Herbicides Available for Homeowners in Lee County, Florida: October, 2010 Herbicides are listed by their active ingredient. This avoids the confusion that results from multiple brands that use the same active ingredient. The active ingredient is the compound that kills the weed. Be sure to carefully read labels to ensure that the product you wish to use is labeled for the target plant. Read and follow label directions. “The label is the law.” Active Ingredient Brand/Trade Name Weeds Controlled (Common name) 2, 4-D Sta-green, Ultra, Weed and Feed Lawn Fertilizer Dicamba Phosphorus-free Weed & Mecoprop-p Feed Weeds Controlled: Broadleaf weeds and annual grasses 2, 4-D Vigoro, Ultra Turf, Weed Weed and Feed Fertilizer for Bahiagrass, Bermu- Micoprop-p and Feed for Bahiagrass dagrass, Centipedegrass, St. Augustinegrass, Dicamba Zoysiagrass.
