Corteva Agriscience’s Crew now registered for use in California, USA

Date:04-05-2021

Crew specialty herbicide, a preemergence herbicide from Corteva Agriscience, is now registered for use in California, USA. 

Crew combines the power and proven turfgrass safety of Dimension specialty herbicide with the plant safety of Gallery specialty herbicide in a 2-in-1 solution for broad-spectrum preemergence weed control. 

“Dimension and Gallery are trusted weed control brands in the turf and ornamental market,” said Chris Moyer, turf and ornamental category lead with Corteva Agriscience. “With Crew, you now have the best of both products in a granule formulation for exceptional results on weeds and crabgrass with no worries.”

Crew provides season-long control of more than 120 winter and summer grassy and broadleaf weeds, including preemergence and early postemergence control of crabgrass. At the same time, Crew is safe to use on warm- and cool-season turfgrasses and over the top of more than 410 ornamentals. 

Labeled use sites include landscape ornamentals, residential turf, commercial turf, golf courses, sports turf, campgrounds, parks and recreation areas, cemeteries and unimproved turfgrass areas.

The granule is non-staining, very low dust and is easily spread for more uniform coverage and better results. With no mixing required, it reduces costs around applicator labor and training, reduces worker exposure, while eliminating the need to switch between products to treat turfgrass and landscaped areas. 

“Crew specialty herbicide has been successfully delivering results in most other states since it was introduced in 2019,” Moyer said. “We’re excited that California now has a new easy-to-use tool for weed control in turfgrass and landscape beds that will reduce costs around applicator labor.”
