Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why should a customer consider Tribute Total?
A: Tribute Total provides broad spectrum control in one complete solution, including dallisgrass, grassy weeds, sedges and many broadleaf weeds.
Q: How does Tribute Total work?
A: After application, Tribute Total is readily absorbed by the foliage and translocated to the site-of-action in the growing points of the susceptible plant
(meristematic regions). It inhibits the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), which is critical in a plant’s production of three key amino acids. The first
visible symptoms are stunting of growth and yellowing or reddening of leaves, followed by death of the plant.
Q: What types of turfgrass will be labeled for use with Tribute Total?
A: Bermudagrass (Common, Tifway 419, Tifsport, Vamont, Tifgreen 328) will be labeled for use with Tribute Total when introduced in 2012. Additional
turfgrasses are also being evaluated for future expanded uses.
Q: Do adjuvants improve the efficacy of Tribute Total?
A: Tribute Total requires a spray adjuvant. For most weeds, a non-ionic surfactant can be used, but for certain weeds the addition of methylated seed oil
(MSO) and also ammonium sulfate (AMS) are suggested.
