Bensulide is an herbicide used for preemergent control of
annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in agricultural crops
(60–65% of all use). Current registered use sites are carrots,
fruiting vegetables, leafy vegetables (mostly head lettuce),
dry bulb vegetables (onions), cucurbits (mostly melons), and
cole crops (cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, broccolini, and
broccoflower). Bensulide can also be used on field-grown
herbaceous plants and field-grownbulbs. Products containing
bensulide are intended for outdoor homeowner use on lawns
and ornamentals, and application by professional lawn care
operators to lawns, ornamentals, parks, and recreation areas.
