Left untreated, it can dominate turf, reducing aesthetics and competing for nutrients. **[Quinclorac](https://www.pomais.com/product/quinclorac-250g-l-sc/)**, a post-emergent selective herbicide, is one of the most trusted and effective solutions for controlling crabgrass in various turf systems. ![Crabgrass2](https://www.pomais.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Crabgrass2.webp "Crabgrass2") ![Crabgrass3](https://www.pomais.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Crabgrass3.webp "Crabgrass3") ![Crabgrass4](https://www.pomais.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Crabgrass4.webp "Crabgrass4") ![Crabgrass5](https://www.pomais.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Crabgrass5.webp "Crabgrass5") ![Crabgrass6](https://www.pomais.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Crabgrass6.webp "Crabgrass6") ## **What Is Quinclorac?** Quinclorac is a synthetic auxin herbicide from the quinoline carboxylic acid family. It mimics plant growth hormones, causing uncontrolled growth that kills plants. It’s mainly used post-emergence and is effective against many grassy weeds, especially **crabgrass**, even at advanced growth stages.

Once inside the plant, it triggers rapid and abnormal cell division, causing the weed to curl, yellow, and die within 7–14 days. It works best on young, actively growing crabgrass but can still suppress mature stages. **Mode of Action:** Synthetic auxin — disrupts hormonal pathways, HRAC Group 4 ## **Application Rates and Timing** | Application Stage | Use Rate (Per Acre) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Early post-emergence | 0.75–1 lb ai/acre (WDG) | Apply to 1–4 leaf stage for best results | | Mature crabgrass | Up to 1.5 lb ai/acre | May need repeat or tank-mix with surfactant | | Spot treatment (home use) | \~0.36 oz/1,000 sq ft | Use hand sprayer with surfactant if required | **Best Practices:** - Apply when temperatures are 65–85°F and soil is moist - Avoid mowing 2 days before or after application - Rainfast within 6–8 hours ## **Comparison with Other Herbicides** | Feature | [Quinclorac](https://www.pomais.com/product/quinclorac-250g-l-sc/) | Mesotrione | Dithiopyr | [Pendimethalin](https://www.pomais.com/product/pendimethalin-pre-emergent-herbicide-330g-l-ec/) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Use Timing** | Post-emergence | Pre + Post | Pre-emergence | Pre-emergence | | **Targets Crabgrass?** | Yes | Yes | Suppression | Prevention only | | **Residual Control** | Moderate (\~30 days) | Short (10–14 days) | Long | Long | | **Selectivity** | Turf-safe | Turf-safe | Turf-safe | Turf-safe | | **Speed of Kill** | Moderate (7–14 days) | Moderate | Preventative | Preventative | | **Tank-Mix Friendly** | Yes | Sometimes | Limited | Limited | ## **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)** **Q1: How soon will I see results after applying Quinclorac?** A: Visible symptoms typically appear in 3–5 days, with full control achieved in 7–14 days. **Q2: Does Quinclorac prevent future crabgrass germination?** A: It has some residual activity but is not a full pre-emergent. Consider pairing with a pre-emergent for extended control. **Q3: Can I reseed after using Quinclorac?** A: Wait at least 14–28 days before reseeding, depending on the rate and turf type. **Q4: Is a surfactant required?** A: Yes, especially for mature crabgrass. Use a non-ionic surfactant or MSO as per the label. **Q5: Can I mix Quinclorac with other herbicides?** A: Yes, it mixes well with 2,4-D, dicamba, and other broadleaf herbicides for broader control. **Q6: Will Quinclorac harm my desirable turfgrass?** A: When applied at the recommended rate, it is safe for most turfgrass types.
