Weed Killer (Chemical)

Strong, Concentrated Weed Killer

Our Chemical Weed Killer is a concentrated non-residual herbicide containing glyphosate, which is a systemic active ingredient. This means that it works by being absorbed through the foliage and then moves throughout the plant to kill it, including the roots. It is particularly effective when the weeds are actively growing.

To ensure the best results, apply the product using a sprayer to thoroughly cover the foliage of the weeds and avoid application during windy conditions to prevent

What is a Non-Residual Herbicide?

A non-residual herbicide is a type of weed killer that does not leave lasting residues in the soil. This means it breaks down quickly after application, making it an environmentally friendly option for immediate weed control.

Key Characteristics of a Non-Residual Herbicide

• Short-Term Effectiveness: This herbicide is effective at killing weeds shortly after application but does linger in the soil.
• Environmental Impact: Break down quickly, reducing the risk of groundwater contamination and minimising effects on non-target plants and organisms.
• Usage: Ideal for situations requiring immediate weed control without long-term soil contamination, such as pre-planting in agricultural fields or areas where replanting will occur soon after treatment.

Benefits of Using Non-Residual Herbicides

• Environmentally Friendly: Quick breakdown reduces environmental impact.
• Safe for Replanting: Suitable for areas where crops or plants will be replanted shortly after application.
• Reduced Risk of Resistance: Lower likelihood of weeds developing resistance compared to residual herbicides.

Common Applications

• Agriculture: Used before planting crops to clear fields of weeds.
• Gardening: Ideal for home gardens where replanting is frequent.
• Public Spaces: Used in parks and recreational areas to manage weeds without long-term soil impact.
