• SELECTIVE HERBICIDE FOR CONTROL OF A VARIETY OF WEEDS
• Eptam is used in every region of the United States in the agricultural production of a wide variety of food crops. Eptam is used on non-food use sites such as citrus nursery stock, non-bearing fruit orchards, evergreens, deciduous trees, scrubs, pine seeding nurseries, and ornamentals. Eptam is also used at residential/public sites such as parks, flower gardens, turf grasses, and golf course sand traps.
• Control of annual and perennial grasses and some broad-leaved weeds in crops.
• Thiocarbamates are widely used throughout the world and are produced in great quantities, mainly as herbicides and fungicides.
