GreenMatch™O - now available in California

Organic growers now have a viable alternative to costly hand weeding, flaming, mowing and cultivation in their battle to control weeds. GreenMatch™O is a new, effective and economical burndown herbicide that is fast-acting, easy to apply and active on a broad spectrum of weeds.

The active ingredient in GreenMatch™O is d-limonene, or citrus oil extract, a powerful, natural degreasing agent that strips away the waxy cuticle from weeds’ leaves, causing fast wilting (necrosis), dehydration and death.

GreenMatch™O is non-selective, and controls most annual and perennial weeds, both grasses and broadleaves. It is a fast-acting, post-emergence herbicide for use on weeds that already exist.

Registered by the EPA in 2006 for use in non-crop areas, GreenMatch O meets the requirements of the NOP Rule for use in organic agriculture. A label is pending at the EPA for use of the product on all crops.

In addition to NOP compliance, GreenMatch™O is listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI). It is also a registered material in the Washington State Department of Agriculture’s Organic Food Program (WSDA).

GreenMatch™O is highly biodegradable and results in no ground water contamination or residue. The product is manufactured by Cutting Edge Formulations, Inc., in Buford, Georgia. It is registered and available in 5 gallon pails in California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and Hawaii.
