Segment® Herbicide
A Better Selective Postemergent Herbicide
Segment herbicide offers selective control of weed problems in centipedegrass, annual bluegrass, fine fescue (established) and tall fescue (established). Turf professionals and commercial growers can enjoy control with no injury to labeled ornamental plants at any stage of growth. In addition, Segment is the only postemergent grass herbicide that can be applied directly to trees or shrubs at any stage of growth, even at seedling and “bud break” stages. Segment can be used on any non-grass plant species without issue.

Get Control And Flexibility
Segment offers postemergent control of a broad spectrum of grassy weed problems. It is highly compatible with other herbicides, allowing flexibility of use in tank mixes (see below for suggested tank-mix options). Segment is also rainfast in one hour, giving you flexibility in your application time as well.
Control in both fine fescue grass and tall fescue is rate-dependent at 1.5 pints maximum use rate. Note: Applications to tall fescue will result in discoloration and growth suppression. If reduced turf quality is not acceptable, applications should not be made to tall fescue.
Segment can be applied over-the-top on more than 350 species of ornamentals, resulting in better control of weeds and labor and cost savings.
How To Apply Segment
Use Segment as directed by the label and follow these tips for best results:
- Apply Segment when grasses are actively growing and free of stress.
- Use a standard high-pressure flat fan or hollow cone nozzle for application.
- Irrigate prior to application to enhance uptake.
- Spray the area thoroughly enough to wet the target grass.
Add Nitrogen Source (AMS) for optimum performance.
Suggested Tank Mixes
Segment can be tank-mixed with a number of other herbicides. Suggested BASF tank mixes include:
- Segment + Image® 70 DG herbicide (Turf uses only)
- Segment + Basagran® T/O herbicide (Can be used for both turf and ornamental applications)
- Segment + Pendulum® AquaCap herbicide (Can be used for both turf and ornamental applications)
- Fill tank half-full of water, add Segment, fill tank to full level, then add Pendulum AquaCap while under agitation.
Always read and follow label directions
