Roundup Weedkiller 140ml

Herbicide for home garden use only. A foliar applied systemic herbicide, with little or no soil activity, for the control of many annual and perennial weeds in the home garden. Do not use on lawns or other wanted plants. No toxic residual in soils.

Directions for Use:

• General information roundup is a foliar absorbed, systemic, postemergence herbicide with no or little soil activity.
• It is slow acting and maximum effect may only be achieved 2 to 4 weeks after application.
• Roundup works best on lush, vigorously growing weeds which are actively translocating nutrients into roots, bulbs, rhizomes and stolons. If weeds are mown or prior to treatment with Roundup allow adequate time to elapse for re-growth of sufficient absorptive leaf area before spraying. Because of no pre-emergence activity on weeds, repeat applications of Roundup will be necessary to maintain season long weed control.
• Rain within 4 to 6 hours of application can reduce the efficacy of Roundup on weeds.
• Roundup should only be applied through spray equipment that is clean and free of rust. Internal sedimentations of wettable powders should be removed. Avoid high pressure, resulting in small droplets and spray drift which can damage desirable plants.
• An even droplet distribution on the target weeds is essential for good results.
• Always use clean water

Recommendations

• For use as a foliar spray on weeds in paving, and other areas around the house.
• Apply as a fine even spray and avoid run-off of the mixture.
• Apply to actively growing weeds and not to weeds suffering from moisture stress, senescence or cold stress.
• Perennial weeds should be sprayed when flowering is initiated or in mid-summer to early autumn.
• Certain perennial weeds (e.g. Bramble) will require repeat applications on re-growth.
• Allow plants to die before any cultivation.

Dosage rates

• One litre of spray solution should spray 10 to 20 m.
• Dilution rates: % Roundup (ml) per 1 litre water. 3 to 30%. 4 to 40% and 4.5 to 45%.
• For the control of young grasses and broadleaf weeds (up to 8 leaf stage): 3% (30ml per 1l water).
• For the control of established annual grasses, broadleaf and certain perennial weeds: 3 to 4.5% (30 to 45ml per 1l water).

Safety Information:

Use Roundup only as directed, as it is poisonous if swallowed and can irritate the skin and eyes. Avoid smoking, eating, or drinking while using, and store it securely under lock and key, away from food, feedstuffs, seeds, fertilizers, and agricultural chemicals, ensuring it is out of reach of children. Roundup can corrode zinc-lined spray pumps and should not be mixed, stored, or applied in galvanized or unlined steel containers, as it may react to produce hydrogen gas, creating a highly combustible and explosive mixture. Avoid inhaling fumes or spray mist, and if accidental contact with skin or eyes occurs, wash immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention if necessary. Take care to spray only target plants, as spray drift or contact with leaves, green stems, or bark of desirable plants can cause serious damage. Roundup® is absorbed through green bark, leaves, and fruit, so shield trees and shrubs with immature bark and avoid spraying near pruning wounds until they have dried for about 10 days.
