When using Roundup Biactive as a weed killer what is the correct dilution rate?
Question:
Answers:
whatever it says on the container
The containers spells out the uses and the rate of dilution.
i use the 1 thats already made up ..its in a spray bottle and so much more handier..not sure if its more dearer than the 1 u make up .
Always when using a herbicide read ALL the directions first before using the product. Too weak doesn't work well and also too strong weakens the results too! Mixing must be exact for optimal results!
you need to make up the strengh according to the plants you wish to kill.in general follow these instructions.
for grasses and soft weeds 20ml per 1 ltr of water.
for slightly courser weeds 30ml per water.
for strong plants such as docks thistles stinging nettles use
40ml per ltr of water. you will probable have to give two doses as the first may not complety do the job the first time.
just spray enough to wet the leaves as any liquid the goes to ground is nutralised as glyphosate (roundup) is a translocation herbicide and only works through the leaves.
For goodness sake read the b***** instructions.
Before i say read the fecking instructions i,ll tell you a wee secret. I am a forestry and groundcare foreman and in all my time holding the valid certification on spraying i use a mix of 500ml roundup to 15 litres water.Thing is the roundup i use is agriculture strength but it will do the same job. If you use to much and wipe out your garden i didnt write this answer, the bad boys did it and ran away!!
Always read the directions before applying!
If roundup doesnt work and you need a stronger weed killer,
try a total vegetation killer. This way nothing grows back for up to a year!
