When Solitare Herbicide is used with a Non Ionic Surfactant, the product label advises that “ Treated turfgrass will recover with new growth. Discolored leaf tissue will be removed with mowing. To reduce potential for discoloration, do not apply Solitare Herbicide on turfgrass that is weakened by weather, mechanical, chemical, disease or other related stress. Maintain proper cultural practices such as adequate moisture and fertility levels to promote healthy turf growth”
Temporary discoloration of some turf types may result from use of surfactants or adjuvants with Solitare Herbicide. High temperatures and high relative humidity may increase the risk of temporary discoloration.”
