5L Total Herbicide & 500g Residual Herbicide Pack
This professional pack pairs a 5L total glyphosate herbicide with a 500g residual herbicide, and is the recommended alternative to a herbicide containing diflufenican and glyphosate. Together they give systemic control of weeds that are already present plus a barrier that stops new weeds germinating.
Key Features
- Recommended alternative to a herbicide containing 40g/l diflufenican and 250g/l glyphosate
- A complete weed control strategy: fast, effective systemic control of existing weeds combined with barrier prevention against germination
- Well suited to natural and porous surfaces that must stay weed free, such as fence lines, gravel paths and road edges
- Longer-lasting weed suppression means fewer site visits
How to Use
Where to use
- Hard surfaces – railway ballast only
- Natural surfaces – any natural surface not intended to bear vegetation, including soil or natural outcroppings of rock
- Permeable surfaces overlying soil – any man-made permeable surface, such as gravel, that lies over soil and is not intended to bear vegetation
Check the product labels for full details of where each product may be applied.
When to use
The residual herbicide can be applied at any time of year, but works best when applied pre-emergence or early post-emergence of weeds (up to the 2 leaf stage). The glyphosate herbicide works best when weeds are actively growing.
