Prime Source announces Quintessential receives EPA registration

Herbicide labeled for control of crabgrass and nearly two dozen other grassy and broadleaf weeds.


Prime Source, a division of Albaugh LLC, announced the EPA registration of its new Quintessential Herbicide.

“The registration of Quintessential Herbicide brings a new, patent-pending herbicide to the professional turf industry’s arsenal,” Prime Source national sales manager Justin Watts says. “Its unique ability to control crabgrass at all growth stages provides an essential tool for crabgrass control.”

Powered by H-Value Technology, a proprietary performance additive, the quinclorac-based turf herbicide demonstrates improved crabgrass control, including during the difficult-to-control mid-tiller stage of growth. The H-Value technology also improves the speed and efficiency of active ingredient uptake to provide enhanced drought stress and rain-fast performance.

Quintessential is labeled for the control of crabgrass and nearly two-dozen other problematic grassy and broadleaf weeds. It’s approved for use in residential and non-residential turfgrasses including grounds or lawns around residential and commercial establishments; multi-family dwellings; military and other institutions; parks; airports; roadsides; schools; picnic grounds; athletic fields; houses of worship; cemeteries; golf courses and sod farms.

Like other Prime Source branded products, Quintessential will be available through the Prime Source distribution network.
