About this file

This is a pesticide specifications attachment document from the Commonwealth of Kentucky, specifically prepared by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and revised in January 2016. The document outlines detailed specifications for six pesticide products required for landscape and turfgrass maintenance applications. The specifications include: landscape pre-emergent herbicide with Isoxaben (Gallery 75DF by Dow AgroSciences or equal), landscape pre-emergent herbicide with Pendimethalin (Pendulum AquaCap by BASF or equal), landscape post-emergent herbicide with Glyphosate (Roundup Pro by Monsanto or equal), insecticide with fluvalinate (Mavrik Aquaflow by Wellmark Inc. or equal), turfgrass pre-emergent herbicide with Dithiopyr (Dimension by Dow AgroSciences or approved equal), and turfgrass post-emergent herbicide with multiple active ingredients (Spoiler by NuFarm Americas Inc. or equal product).

Each product specification includes precise active ingredient percentages, inert ingredient compositions, and chemical nomenclature to ensure consistency and performance standards. The document permits substitution with equal products, allowing bidders flexibility in sourcing while maintaining chemical efficacy and concentration requirements. The specifications detail the exact formulations and concentrations, including measurements in both percentage composition and pounds per gallon or grams per liter, providing contractors with clear technical requirements for procurement and application.
