Product Information

Other Plant-free areas with industrial and amenity approval are Permeable surfaces over lying soil or hard surfaces.

Hard surfaces: Any man made impermeable surface, such as concrete or asphalt and including railway ballast, that is not intended to bear vegetation. 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. PLEASE NOTE: Turf, Wildflower Turf, Sedum Mats and bulk Bag products are delivered on a pallet and can only be delivered to the kerbside. This easy mix liquid concentrate formulation is approved for use all around the garden, on gravel areas, paths, drives and along fences. It can be used to clean up weedy areas before planting vegetables, flowers, shrubs and to renovate overgrown areas. Apply by using a garden sprayer.

The Importance of the Label

Mix 1.5 ounces (3 tablespoons) of herbicide to 1 gallon of water to renovate an entire lawn, or to eradicate weeds and grasses that are easy to kill. For tougher jobs, such as vines or perennials weeds, mix 2.5 ounces (5 tablespoons) to 1 gallon of water. For Roundup Weed & Grass Killer Super Concentrate, use from 1 1/2 ounces, or 3 tablespoons, to 2 1/2 ounces, or 5 tablespoons, per 1 gallon of water. If an additive is recommended on the label, it is there to make the herbicide more effective. Also don’t use dish soap instead of high quality surfactant. One additive that is highly recommended is 17 pounds of spray grade ammonium sulfate ( AMS ) per 100 gallons of spray volume.

Areas of land with a vegetation cover that have been removed (temporarily or otherwise) from production. For example some types of set aside. Includes fields or non-crop field margins covered by natural regeneration or by a planted green cover crop that will not be harvested. 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.Permeable surfaces overlying soil: Any man made permeable surface (excluding railway ballast), such as gravel, that overlies soil and is not intended to bear vegetation. All European Waste Catalogue, (EWC), categories with * are classed as Hazardous waste and come under the Hazardous Waste Regulations. Not only is Hazardous waste an average of four times more expensive to dispose of, but also farmers will only be exempt from registering as a Hazardous Waste producer if they produce less than 500kg per year in total. This note details how our products are classified under the Waste Framework Directive, 2008/98/EC and offers useful advice for farmers on the waste production involved in the use of our products and their obligations under the Environmental Protection, (Duty of Care) Regulations, (as amended), 1991. Keep waste to a minimum Pesticide concentrate or residues are classed as ‘Hazardous Waste’ ECW 02-01-08* if the product is classed as Hazardous and ECW 02-01-09 where the product is unclassified. Since the introduction of CLP the classification of products has changed. For current products with (H319) waste is hazardous only if the product comprises 20% or more of the waste material. For those classed as or with H statements H400,H410,H412 or H413 waste is hazardous where product comprises 25% or more of the waste. Most specific crops listed are self explanatory. However there is sometimes confusion over plant-free areas.
