Kerb (pronamide) is labeled for use on which turfgrass?

• A. Bermudagrass only.
• B. Bentgrass greens only.
• C. Zoysia only.
• D. Tall fescue.

Answer: (A)

Pesticide labels specify exactly which turf species the product can be safely applied to, based on tested safety and effectiveness. Kerb (pronamide) is registered for bermudagrass, so it has been deemed safe for that grass type. The other grasses listed—bentgrass greens, zoysia, and tall fescue—are not on the label, meaning there isn’t approved use data for those species and applying kerb to them could cause injury or be outside label directions. Always follow the label, and apply only to bermudagrass in this case.
