Spartan NZ Herbicide is a pre-emergent herbicide that can be used as an effective tool to help Turf Managers and Gardeners control annual weeds (Summer & Winter).
Spartan NZ Herbicide selectivity is primarily through soil profile placement. Small-seeded plants take up greater amounts of the herbicide as they germinate in the soil profile zone of herbicide placement. Warm Season grasses and established Garden & Potted Plants can be less prone to root inhibition due to the fact they have a multiple fibrous root system, hence good even coverage and incorporation is required to ensure the weeds cannot recover by establishing roots outside the zone of herbicide activity.
Application should be prior to germination of the weeds.
