About this file
This is a Pesticide Specifications document that outlines the herbicide and insecticide requirements for landscape and turfgrass maintenance. The document specifies five primary pesticide products required for contract performance: Gallery 75DF (landscape pre-emergent herbicide with Isoxaben), Pendulum AquaCap (landscape pre-emergent herbicide with Pendimethalin), Roundup Pro (landscape post-emergent herbicide with Glyphosate), Dimension (turfgrass pre-emergent herbicide with Dithiopyr), and Spoiler (turfgrass post-emergent herbicide with a combination of 2,4-D and MCPP derivatives). Additionally, Mavrik Aquaflow (insecticide with Fluvalinate) is specified for insect control applications. Each product specification includes detailed active ingredient percentages, inert ingredient compositions, and chemical formulations to ensure consistency and quality across pesticide applications.
The document permits the use of "equal products" as alternatives to the named brand herbicides and insecticides, provided they meet the specified active ingredient requirements and concentrations. Contractors are required to maintain the exact formulations, concentrations, and application rates as detailed for each pesticide type. No pricing information, set-asides, incumbent contractors, funding sources, or contract term details are included in this specifications document, as it functions solely as a technical reference guide for pesticide product standards and composition requirements.
