Roundup® Pro Biactive TM is recommended for control of Annual and Perennial grasses and Broad-leaved weeds in non-crop areas such as roadsides, paths, hard surfaces and along fences and walls. It is recommended for cleaning up weedy ground prior to planting or sowing, for total weed control on industrial sites and for aquatic weed control. Roundup® Pro Biactive TM herbicide may also be used as a directed spray in ornamental plantings, and in forestry for site preparation and post planting treatments.

Weeds controlled and application timing

weeds. It is important that all weeds are at the correct growth stage when treated, otherwise some regrowth may occur and this will need re-treatment.

Roundup® Pro Biactive TM herbicide controls most emerged grasses and Broad-leaved This product will not give an acceptable control of Horsetails (Equisetum arvense) - repeat treatment will be necessary.

Note: the effects of treatment on the long term control of perennial Broad-leaved weeds has not been investigated.

Symptoms on the weeds

Symptoms of treatment are generally first seen 7-10 days, or longer (if growth is slow), after spraying. These take the form of leaf reddening followed by yellowing and are usually quicker to appear on grasses than on broad-leaved weeds. Reaction of nettles is slow.
Important: To obtain optimum weed control, weeds must be left undisturbed with no further treatment or cultivation for 7 days after application. Allow 2-3 weeks for symptoms to develop then re-treat any unaffected plants using spot treatments.

Effects of weather

A period without rain of at least 6 hours, and preferably 24 hours, must follow application of Roundup® Pro Biactive TM herbicide.
Do not spray in windy conditions as drift onto desired plants or crops could severely damage or destroy them.
Do not spray on to weeds suffering from drought, waterlogging, heat or frost, otherwise poor control may result.
