Which product can be used on bentgrass greens?

• A. Betasan.
• B. Devrinol.
• C. Princep.
• D. Kerb.

Answer: (A)

Choosing a product for bentgrass greens hinges on using a label that explicitly allows use on that specific turf and site. Bentgrass greens are very sensitive, so only products with a greens-specific label should be used, and rates and timing must follow the label exactly. Betasan is a preemergent herbicide whose label includes golf course putting greens as a permitted site, including bentgrass greens. It provides preemergence control of annual grasses while being evaluated for safety on established bentgrass when applied according to the label—so it’s the option that fits the greens scenario. Devrinol, Princep, and Kerb do not carry appropriate greens labels or are known to pose a risk of injury to bentgrass when used on greens, making them unsuitable choices despite their other uses elsewhere.
