PBI Gordon SpeedZone EW Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf - Fast Control

In this review of PBI Gordon SpeedZone EW Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf the bottom line is straightforward: this concentrated 128oz bottle is aimed at homeowners and lawn care pros who need rapid, visible control of broadleaf weeds and select grassy pests in cool weather. Its chief strength is speed - users report visible activity in hours and significant reduction of clover and red sorrel in as little as one week, making it a good choice when quick results are the priority.

Key Features

• Advanced EW formulation: The emulsion-in-water mix provides more complete coverage of the weed surface for faster uptake than the original formula.
• Fast weed control: The product delivers visible activity within hours and can control many broadleaf weeds in about one week.
• Broad spectrum: Controls 90+ broadleaf weeds plus targeted grasses like goosegrass and nimblewill, reducing the need for multiple products.
• Lower odor and VOC: The EW formulation has a lower odor profile and reduced volatile organic content compared with prior versions.
• Sprayer versatility: Engineered for use in both low-volume and conventional sprayers to suit homeowners and professionals.
• Cool-weather performance: Formulated to remain effective in cooler conditions when some herbicides slow down.

Who It's For

This product is best for homeowners with moderate to large lawns and landscape contractors who need rapid, visible knockdown of common broadleaf weeds and problem grasses during cool seasons. Those tackling clover, red sorrel or nimblewill will appreciate the speed and the EW formulation that improves coverage.

It is not for people in states where sale is restricted (see label) and those preferring an all-organic approach should look elsewhere. Also, buyers who need year-round warm-weather solutions may consider other products designed specifically for hot-season performance.
