Bayer’s newly formulated Finale® 150 product is now available. This comes at a key time, when grass is
beginning to grow again. The product is used for controlling grasses, and specifically for preparing sportsturf for line-marking. And it’s selling fast.
It replaces the discontinued Finale® 120 (MAPP 10092) product, which should no longer be in use.
Finale® 150 is a new stronger product than the old Finale® 120 and therefore the application rates on the
label are lower.
According to Bayer’s Neil Pettican, less of the product now needs to be applied. “The new formulation is
supplied in the same sized five litre container as the old product, however the new formulation is stronger,
meaning the application rates are lower, but with the same results.”
“The benefit of Finale® 150 is that it stunts grass growth when you apply it to line markings. The advantage
it has over other products is that it doesn’t kill the grass, which can make the pitch turf unstable.
“It must only be applied using low drift nozzles and a sprayshield. Finale® 150 will stay where it’s applied
and won't drift onto other areas.” says Neil.
The new formulation costs more per five litres, but due to the extra linear metres of application it works
out at a similar cost per linear metre between the two formulations.
“Popular with turf managers, the product is selling fast, and what we need to get across to our customers
is that the linear metre application with the new formulation is the same,” adds Neil.
To reinforce existing lines:
The discontinued Finale® 120 formulation at five litres would cover 133,300 linear metres
The new Finale® 150 formulation at three litres can cover 222,166 linear metres
This means that the new formulation will give you 66.6% more application than the old formulation.
