Celero® Herbicide is a selective, post-emergence herbicide for control of sedges including kyllinga in established residential and commercial turfgrass, golf courses and sod farms. Imazosulfuron, the active ingredient in Celero, is a systemic sulfonylurea (SU) herbicide that translocates down to the roots to deliver superior sedge control. Labeled for both broadcast and spot treatment in cool- and warm-season turf, Celero is the ideal solution for difficult-to-manage sedges.

SAY GOODBYE TO SEDGE

Turn to Nufarm-exclusive Celero® selective herbicide for excellent control of tough sedge outbreaks.

Designed specifically for post-emerge sedge control, Celero complements traditional grass and broadleaf herbicides. Celero also delivers superior knockdown of yellow and purple nutsedge.

When annual or perennial sedges, including green kyllinga, are present, count on Celero applied as a spot or broadcast treatment.

BROADCAST APPLICATION 

Rate per Acre: 8-14 oz/20-30 gal + .25% v/v non-ionic surfactant (1 qt/100 gal). A second application may be applied 21 days after the initial treatment. 

SPOT TREATMENT 

Rate per 1,000 sq ft: 0.25-0.33 oz/1-2 gal + 2 tsp non-ionic surfactant/gal of water. Occasionally shake the spray solution while spraying to ensure the spray solution remains well mixed. Spray the target weeds until the leaves are wet.
