Roundup Optima+ Total Weedkiller

Product Information

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. 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. Always use sprays from the store in rotation to avoid the need to dispose of out of date agrochemicals, which are Hazardous waste*. 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. The recommended rate for most applications is 20ml mixed in 1 litre of water, which covers an area of 30m². Each 210ml container makes up to 10 litres of spray, enough to treat over 300m². Some weeds such as Horsetail and Ground Elder may require more than one application if regrowth appears. Directions of Use

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. This effective concentrate is available in either a 195ml, 540ml or 1 litre bottle, making up to 10, 27 or 50 spray litres respectively. Details A maximum number of treatments may be specified under the ‘ Maximum number of treatments per year’ column for some products. We use a Maximum total dose wherever possible which allows flexibility to split into any number of treatments. Our formulation chemists have worked continually since the launch of Roundup to bring out new formualtions with improved weed control, leass restrictive conditions of use and better safety profiles under COSHH.

Mode of Action

READ THE LABEL BEFORE USE. USING THIS PRODUCT IN A MANNER THAT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE LABEL MAY BE AN OFFENCE. FOLLOW THE CODE OF PRACTICE FOR USING PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCTS.’ Choose high-load modern Roundup formulations which reduce the number of cans or bags used over standard 360 g/l formulations. Hard surfaces: Any man made impermeable surface, such as concrete or asphalt and including railway ballast, that is not intended to bear vegetation. 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 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

Each line in the table represents a new situation and where more than one situation occurs for the same crop it can be sprayed once for each situation. For example in winter wheat you can apply up to 1.2l/ha of Roundup Energy post planting, but before emergence, then up to 3.2l/ha before harvest and up to 5l/ha in the autumn on the stubble. Most specific crops listed are self explanatory. However there is sometimes confusion over plant-free areas. 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.
