Anyone used quinclorac during sprigging, stolonizing, or even seeding?

I keep seeing it listed as a pre and post em on university documents.

Even Drive XL8's label says quincloac can be used before seeding, at seeding, 7/14/28 days after emergence, and can be applied prior, at, or after sprigging.

So, does quinclorac linger in the soil and what would it target via this usage?

I'm just trying to figure out other sprigging weed management options for a future project, other than simazine or oxadiazon.

I sprayed it at label rate 2 weeks after emergence during my renovation with no ill effects.

It will act as a pre against Crabgrass, not on Goosegrass. In my state, Crabgrass is a minor weed. Goosegrass is much, much worse.

@Greendoc , I was curious if it would work as a short term pre for everything on the label, to include broadleaf.

That is what it is used for on rice fields as Facet. Quinclorac is actually rather persistent in soil. It lasts long enough that rainfall will move it into the water table, according to my Department of Health. On cropland, application of Quinclorac means that field is not to be planted to non tolerant crops for up to 2 years
Facet L is not much different from Drive XlR8. http://www.cdms.net/ldat/ldAD6011.pdf AG labels are actually good reading material for lawn people.
