Their new developments of an organic herbicide has put Marrone BioInnovations leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. Marrone BioInnovations have created an organic herbicide called GreenMatch EX. This revolution in herbicidal treatment offers organic growers a highly effective alternative to costly and backbreaking hand weeding, flaming, mowing and cultivation in their ongoing battle to keep their crops weed free. GreenMatch EX is a brand new, effective and economical burndown organic herbicide that proves to be fast-acting, easy to apply and active on a broad spectrum of weeds. GreenMatch EX organic herbicide is what is known as non-selective, meaning that is works on a variety of weeds, and it controls most annual and perennial weeds.

It is a fast-acting, organic herbicide for use on weeds that already exist. The active ingredient in GreenMatch EX is Lemongrass Oil, a powerful, herbicidal, essential oil that strips away the waxy cuticle from the weeds of leaves. This causes fast wilting, dehydration and death. Lemongrass oil provides a longer lasting burndown than other essential oils, and is further strengthened by other natural oils and surfactants in the GreenMatch EX organic herbicide formula. All the components in this product are natural, food-grade and organic ingredients, that qualifies GreenMatch EX organic herbicide as exempt from registration under FIFRA, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act. GreenMatch EX organic herbicide meets the requirements of the NOP Rule for use in organic agriculture. In addition to NOP compliance, GreenMatch EX is listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI). It's also a registered material in the Washington State Department of Agriculture's Organic Food Program. GreenMatch EX organic herbicide may be used on all organic croplands to provide excellent burndown control of most grasses and weeds.

Its concentrated emulsion formula is easily mixable and then sprayed on the targeted weeds. Like all non-selective, burndown materials, special care musts still be taken to avoid contact with desirable vegetation, as all green tissue may be damaged. Also, as with other burndown products, coverage is very important. There is no re-entry interval required after spraying GreenMatch EX organic herbicide. GreenMatch EX organic herbicide offers an excellent alternative to chemical herbicides for non-crop uses. It can be applied in sensitive areas for landscaping, at schools, parks, recreation facilities or any area with that is within close range to people or pets. Use it on edges, cracks, around fence posts and tree wells to kill most weeds. However, do not spray on lawns as it is non-selective and will kill grass. GreenMatch EX organic herbicide is non-toxic and biodegradable. Marrone BioInnovations has developed it so that it has a low impact on the environment, non target organisms and workers.
