About this file
This is a Pesticide Specifications document that outlines chemical requirements for landscape and turfgrass maintenance applications. The document specifies five primary pesticide products organized by application type: two landscape pre-emergent herbicides (Gallery 75DF containing Isoxaben and Pendulum AquaCap containing Pendimethalin), one landscape post-emergent herbicide (Roundup Pro containing Glyphosate), one landscape insecticide (Mavrik Aquaflow containing Fluvalinate), one turfgrass pre-emergent herbicide (Dimension containing Dithiopyr), and one turfgrass post-emergent herbicide (Spoiler containing a three-part active ingredient blend). Each specification includes detailed active ingredient percentages, inert ingredient percentages, chemical nomenclature, and formulation concentrations to ensure precise product standards.
The document establishes "or equal product" provisions for each specification, allowing contractors flexibility to propose alternative products that meet the stated chemical and concentration requirements rather than mandating specific brand names exclusively. The specifications are formatted to provide both percentage-based compositions and practical application measurements, such as pounds per gallon or grams per liter, enabling consistent purchasing and application across multiple sites. This revised February 2025 version reflects current product formulations and active ingredient standards, serving as the technical baseline for procurement of pesticide services or products related to landscape and turf management.
