Roundup is also sold in pre-mixed handheld spray bottles that make it easy to spot-treat small areas around your yard or garden. In addition to larger plants, you can also use Roundup to control the spread of lichens, moss, and scrub brush. All glyphosate products are not same. While they all contain the active ingredient, glyphosate, the formulation type in which the glyphosate is carried plays a major role in performance. The Roundup Brand was born in 1974. Since then products based on glyphosate have become the most widely used herbicides in the world. The benign nature of the molecule to operators and the environment combined with excellence in weed control make it first choice for non-selective weed control.

This metabolic pathway is present only in green plants. Higher forms of life like mammals, birds, fish and insects are dependent on plant sources to obtain these three amino-acids in their food and neither absorb nor metabolise glyphosate. This is the reason Roundup has such environmentally friendly characteristics. Some products are available in bulk containers, (IBCs). These should not be classified as waste by the farmer, but returned to us for re-use. How to classify waste for re-cycling or disposal Apply Roundup when the weeds and grasses are actively growing. The best application time is during warm and sunny weather, above 60 degrees F. Spraying Roundup on cloudy days that are as cool as 50 degrees F. also can produce effective results. Spray the weed and grass killer when the air is calm.

The Maximum individual dose rate is simply the highest dose you can apply at any one time. The maximum individual dose rate will vary according to the particular use e.g you can apply Roundup Energy at up to 4.8 l/ha on grassland, 3.2l/ha pre-harvest of wheat or 1.2l/ha post planting, pre-emergence of listed crops.

Always use sprays from the store in rotation to avoid the need to dispose of out of date agrochemicals, which are Hazardous waste*. Sizes available: 195ml (makes up to 10 spray litres), 540ml (makes up to 27 spray litres) or 1 litre (makes up to 50 spray litres)
