Grass Getter®

Grass Getter is a postemergence herbicide based on the active ingredient sethoxydim. It is widely used in agriculture as a systemic grass killer under the trade name Poast. Grass Getter selectively eliminates grasses out of broadleaf plants. (This is the opposite of 2,4-D products which selectively eliminate broadleaf weeds in grasses). Formerly, this product was named Poast.

Grass Getter is used to control annual grasses and hard-to-kill perennial grasses such as bermudagrass, johnsongrass and quackgrass. In California and Arizona, it is especially effective on perennial bermudagrass. It also controls annual grasses.

Grass Getter does not control broadleaf weeds, nutgrass or annual bluegrass.

With a tank sprayer, mix 1 oz of Grass Getter with 1 gallon of water. This will treat approximately 1800 sq ft. Also add 1 oz of an oil concentrate, like Herbicide Helper to make the herbicide more effective.

For good weed control, Herbicide Helper should be added at 1 oz per gallon of water. This is our brand of oil concentrate.

Grass Getter can be used over the top of flowers, bedding plants, shrubs, trees, groundcovers, and certain fruits and vegetables. (Check the label for specific varieties). There are more than 300 ornamental species listed on the Grass Getter label. Do not use Grass Getter on your turf grass lawn.

Care should be used around the following species: Azaleas (var. Snow), japanese privet, potentilla, snow in summer, red oak, white oak and ornamental grasses.
