Roundup Herbicide Liquid Concentrate is a 5 litre non selective, water soluble concentrate for weed control at a scale where ready to use bottles stop making sense. Diluted and sprayed, one container treats up to 5,000 square metres, and it leaves no residue in the soil. This is a product for acreage, long boundaries and ground being cleared before planting.
What it does
-
Treats up to 5,000 square metres. Roughly twenty tennis courts from one container, which is where a concentrate beats a premix on cost.
-
Systemic and non selective. It moves through the plant rather than only burning the leaf, and does not distinguish between species, so it kills most plants it contacts.
-
Handles annuals and hard perennials. Quick growing annual weeds such as chickweed and sow thistle, and tougher targets including blackberry and bamboo.
-
Non residual, child resistant packaging. Planting can follow 7 days after treatment, and the container is child resistant for storage.
How to use it
Dilute with water and apply according to the label directions. The mixing rate is not the same for every weed and every situation, which is why it is printed on the label rather than fixed at one figure, and the label also carries the registered uses and the precautions. Read it and follow it. Spray onto actively growing weeds and cover the foliage evenly rather than drenching one patch and skipping the next, because a perennial weed regrows from whatever was missed. Allow drying time before rain, and wait 7 days before planting treated ground.
What it suits
Acreage and large properties. Paddock edges, tracks and neglected corners are the work this volume is built for.
Long boundaries and fence lines. A run of fence that would empty several ready to use bottles is a single tankful here.
Land clearing before landscaping. Knocking established growth down first, then planting a week later, saves fighting the same weeds through a new bed for years.
The scale that makes it economical also makes it wrong for a small garden. For a few metres of paving, a ready to use sprayer is the better buy, because 5 litres opened for a small job is mostly storage. Delivered Australia wide,.
