Why Defender™ Glyphosate 360 Weed Control is so useful
Diluted according to instructions, this herbicide kills weeds right down to the roots without poisoning the soil. It provides an inexpensive treatment for both large and small weed infestations.
How to use
Dilute product at the rate of 5-10ml per litre of water for unwanted grass, and for annual and perennial weeds.
- Mix just enough to complete the job. Do not stored mix-up solution.
- Apply to foliage. Glyphosate is not absorbed by plant roots, so applying it to soil is a waste.
- Apply on a still day to prevent spray drift. Do not apply if rain is expected within 6 hours.
Sizes
Available in a 1 litre container.
Take care. Protect precious plants.
Use a long-handled paint brush to apply the solution to weeds that are in amongst plants that you don't want to damage.
