Introduction
| Trade Name: Marengo, Specticle, Esplanade | Common Name: indaziflam | Formulations: 0.622 SC* / 1.67 SC / 0.0224 GR |
Uses
Selective preemergence residual control of many annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in field and container grown nursery crops, Christmas trees, non-production areas in container nurseries, and in greenhouses and similar covered structures. The SC formulation should be used as a directed spray avoiding contact with crop foliage. Sold as Marengo for use in Nurseries, and as Specticle for landscape and turfgrass uses. Esplanade has a special local need (FIFRA 24-C) label for use in Christmas tree production in Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin. Recommended rates of application differ between use sites. Check the label for details.

Major Weeds Controlled
Preemergence control of annual grasses such as crabgrass, goosegrass, foxtails, barnyardgrass, and annual bluegrass; annual broadleaf weeds including bittercress, doveweed, oxalis, spurge; and annual sedges from seed. The SC formulation may provide postemegence control of some small seedling broadleaf weeds; in particular, good postemergence control of oxalis has been reported.
Major Weeds Not Controlled
Emerged weeds are not controlled with the granular formulations. Does not control nutsedge. Poor control of Japanese stiltgrass, marsh parsley and eclipta have been observed. Weeds sprouting from vegetative organs like rhizomes, tubers and bulbs are not controlled. Control of common ragweed and some pigweeds has been variable. Efficacy on large-seeded broadleaf weeds, such as morningglory, is unknown.
For Best Results
Use the SC formulation as a directed spray only. Apply before weeds emerge. In newly planted ornamentals, water plants to settle the soil before applying. Marengo must be incorporated with about 1⁄2-inch of rainfall or irrigation as soon as possible after application.
Cautions and Precautions
Apply as a directed spray. Spray applications over the top of crop plants can be injure plants. Young, tender foliage is more sensitive to injury than mature foliage. Do not use the SC formulation in container crops less than 15 gal. Not for use in propagation beds, herbaceous perennials, or liner production. Injury to hydrangea and euonymus has been reported. Excess doses have cause stem girdling and root inhibition in young, newly planted liners in some species, including red maple.
Residual Activity
About 4 months of residual weed control is expected. Under some environmental conditions, longer residual may be observed. In field sites, residual may last more than 6 months. Spring applications may interfere with establishment of fall-seeded cover crops; annual ryegrass is especially sensitive to indaziflam residues.
Volatility and Leaching Potential
Adsorbed by soil; not readily leached. Low volatility.
Symptoms and Mode of Action
Absorbed through roots and shoot tissues. Inhibits root and shoot growth, through interference with cell wall formation and cell division; specifically by inhibiting cellulose biosynthesis. Foliar symptoms include stunted, yellowed new growth. Stem girdling and swelling at the soil line may occur in some sensitive species. See the herbicide injury fact sheet for images. Mode of Action Group 29.
