US approves UPI’s Devrinol 2-XT herbicide for nursery use

UPI recently announced the approval of nursery uses for Devrinol 2-XT flowable herbicide(napropramide).

“Devrinol 2-XT can now be used in nursery applications,” says Mike Bandy, UPI product manager. “Nurseries have used Devrinol DF-XT (a dry granulated product) for years to control some of their most troublesome weeds.”

There has been recent interest in using the flowable version of the product. A supplemental label has now been approved by EPA and the product is now available for use. Devrinol is based on the active ingredient napropramide. It is very effective in controlling weeds such as groundsel, annual bluegrass, pineappleweed and many others. It can be used on conifers and certain nursery grown ornamental plants such as rhododendron, euonymus and buxus.

Devrinol 2-XT is currently available for sale from UPI distributors.
