The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) supports the EPA's proposed decision to approve the first residential registration of florpyrauxifen-benzyl (Rinskor). They argue that the product provides a necessary tool for managing herbicide-resistant weeds and can reduce overall herbicide use due to its effectiveness at low rates.

The Indiana Professional Lawn and Landscape Association supports the registration of Rinskor herbicide (florpyrauxyfen-benzyl). They argue that the product offers superior safety profiles, environmental benefits, and effective weed control compared to older technologies like 2,4-D.

Lawn Doctor, a large provider of professional lawn care services, supports the EPA's proposed registration of the Rinskor herbicide. They argue that the product provides essential chemical diversity for resistance management, offers a favorable toxicological profile, and addresses needs for controlling resistant weeds in residential turf.

The Vice President of Operations at Weed Man Lawn Care supports the registration of Corteva Agriscience's Rinskor line of herbicides. The commenter argues that these products represent important scientific advancements in reduced-risk weed control and are necessary tools for lawn care operators.

Brian Feldman of TruGreen expresses strong support for the registration of the Rinskor (Florpyrauxyfen-benzyl) herbicide for use on turfgrasses. He argues that the product offers effective weed control at low use rates, a favorable environmental safety profile, and a valuable tool for integrated pest management and resistance management.

Jason Brown of SiteOne Landscape Supply, the largest distributor of landscape supplies in North America, supports the registration of herbicides containing florpyrauxyfen-benzyl. He argues that these products offer effective weed management, environmental benefits, and resistance management for professional landscapers.

SiteOne Landscape Supply, a large wholesale distributor of landscape supplies, supports the EPA's registration of Rinskor for residential turf. They argue that new herbicide tools with different modes of action are important for effective weed management and resistance stewardship.

A turfgrass and Extension specialist supports a timely, science-based evaluation of florpyrauxifen-benzyl herbicide combinations for turf and ornamental uses. The commenter highlights the herbicide's effectiveness against specific weeds in university trials and emphasizes the importance of strong label directions and applicator education to mitigate non-target risks.

Matthew A. Sliepka, a golf course superintendent, supports the EPA's registration of turf herbicide products containing florpyrauxifen-benzyl. He argues that these newer products offer a more sustainable and efficient way to manage weeds with lower use rates and better environmental profiles compared to older herbicides.
