Topramezone vs Mesotrione

Topramezone vs Mesotrione,

How different are these two products? Topramezone doesn't put the hurt on bent like Mesotrione does?

I think your question needs more context -- what are you trying to treat? And there are uses for Topramezone in both cool-season and warm-season grasses - I'm guessing that you're interested in the "Pylex" formulation by your location.

Pylex is 4X the cost of "Tenacity" - what are you trying to treat that warrants the additional cost of Pylex?

I wasn't sure, but i thought Pylex might be generic Tenacity. I assume now it is not.

When reading about it, it seems both work the same way?

They are both HPPD Inhibitors, but they are not the same at all. There is no "generic of" relationship.

Tenacity costs $60 - $80 for 8 oz. Pylex costs $250 - $300 for 4 oz.
