Massachusetts Entities Report Positive Results During First Season of Using EcoMIGHT Herbicide

MIAMI, May 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Four Massachusetts-based entities report positive results as they enter the first peak growing season of using a new, non-toxic weedkiller. EcoMIGHT products are designated by the U.S. EPA as minimum risk exempt, which means they "pose no harm to human health or the environment" when used as directed.

Town of Plymouth Finds Treated Areas Stay Dead Longer
Last year, the officials in the Town of Plymouth voluntarily stopped using glyphosate-based herbicides. "We wanted an alternative that was safe for our employees and friendly to the whole community," said Robert Birkenhead Jr., highway foreman for the Town Plymouth.

The Town sprayed about 300 gallons of EcoMIGHT's W.O.W. on miles of city property. The town struggles to control the growth of poison ivy, poison sumac and other invasive weeds like hawthorn. "The EcoMIGHT product killed those hard-to-treat weeds dead," Birkenhead said.  "We found that it takes a little longer for things to die off compared to glyphosate, but once weeds are dead, the areas stay clear for longer periods of time."

Local Golf Clubs Reports "Pure Death" to Weeds
Indian Pond Country Club, an 18-hole championship golf course in Kingston, has found that EcoMIGHT is incredibly effective. According to Tom Stone, superintendent of Indian Pond, "I've found W.O.W. to be just as effective [as glyphosate]. It means pure death to the weed."

In addition, Needham Golf Club found that EcoMIGHT kills its woody weeds. "I was very impressed with the results that I achieved in the areas where I used the [EcoMIGHT] product," said Tim Hood, Needham Golf Club superintendent. "I noticed a systemic impact on woody plants." 

Testing by Massachusetts Turfgrass Expert
As much as turfgrass expert Tom Phillips, owner of a high-end lawn care company in Norton, wanted to be environmentally friendly, he echoes the thoughts of many in the industry that "organics don't work".

"I was very surprised," Phillips said. A former superintendent at several premier Boston area country clubs and graduate of UMASS Stockbridge, Phillips is considered an expert in the industry. "I was expecting poor results and got excellent results instead. EcoMIGHT's product has a residual effect of 60 to 90 days, which means you don't have to reapply for two to three months. That's unheard of in the organic product lines."
