Pylex Herbicide offers a new use pattern for the active constituent, Topramezone, for the control of warm season grass and broadleaf weeds in cool season turf. This new and unique use pattern enables the safe and efficient removal of broadleaf weed species and warm season turf species, including Buffalo grass, Kikuyu, Couch and Queensland blue couch, in cool season turf on Bentgrass greens.
As the only solution for selective weed control on greens, Pylex Herbicide is pioneering an unmatched combination of turf safety and exceptional efficacy. Featuring pre-measured packaging and highly selective control, Pylex increases labour efficiencies and turf safety, minimising chemical calculation risks.

Incorporating Pylex Herbicide into Bent grass greens management
Considering the highly specific and targeted behaviour of Pylex Herbicide, it is important to ensure correct application for reliable results, taking particular care with sprayer calibration and conditions conducive for success. Read our Calibration Tips for Pylex to ensure you get the most out of your Pylex applications.
In addition to calibration of equipment, there are a number of factors which affect control and should be considered when planning your Pylex Herbicide program. Factors that affect control:
- MSOs are essential to assist Pylex Herbicide in penetrating the leaf for consistent control. Required rates for MSO adjuvants can be found on the directions for use table of the Pylex Herbicide label.
- Early encroachment and actively growing weeds are more susceptible than more advanced growth stages. Pylex Herbicide should be applied when weeds are not in their strongest, fittest growth stage and state for best results.
- Good coverage of the target weed is essential to achieving reliable control. Even coverage enables Pylex Herbicide’s excellent translocation capacity to be maximised. This factor takes into account calibration of spray equipment, and use of a high quality MSO.
- Pylex Herbicide is a light-activated technology, as it works to disrupt the photosynthetic cycle of target weeds. Conditions conducive to maximum photosynthesis (moist,warm, bright sunshine) are ideal.
- Cool weather can reduce the speed of activity. Pylex Herbicide’s performance is maximised in consistently bright, warm conditions.

What is the ideal use rate for Pylex Herbicide?
- For Bent grass greens: 0.375 ml/100m2 in 4-6L of water + 0.5% MSO is the labeled rate of application. At this rate two repeat applications 21-28 days apart will be required.
- For other cool season turf: 0.75 ml/100m2 in 4-6L of water + 0.5% MSO is the labeled rate of application. At this rate a single application will likely be sufficient.
What is the typical reapplication timing for Pylex Herbicide?
Typical re-application for Pylex Herbicide is every 21-28 days.
Are 3 applications of Pylex Herbicide likely to be required?
Proposed application strategies outline the requirement for two repeat applications in most cases (on Bent grass greens). The requirement for three sequential applications may be required dependent on the time of year and establishment of the target weed.
Is there a risk of turf injury after scarifying?
Local trials have demonstrated that scarifying did not result in increased risk or performance when Pylex Herbicide is applied. However
