Roundup^® Speed Ultra

How to use

As good practice, we recommend wearing waterproof gloves and gardening footwear.

1. Cut the plastic tie connecting the sprayer to the bottle with scissors. Remove sprayer and pull out the red connector.
2. Insert red connector into the top of the cap and click in place. Press and twist the cap anti clockwise to 'ON' position (¼ of a turn).
3. Turn the sprayer nozzle to ‘NARROW’ (¼ of a turn left) and squeeze the trigger a few times to build pressure. Spray weeds evenly, ensuring coverage on all the leaves.
4. After use, press and twist the top of the cap clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position.
5. Squeeze the sprayer trigger to empty nozzle. Turn nozzle to ‘X’ (OFF) and replace sprayer in the holder without disconnecting the red connector.

Repeat treatment if necessary after a minimum of 14 days where re-growth occurs.

Treat established weeds before the start of flowering. Spray nettles and ground elder when new leaves have unfolded fully in late spring.

Weeds may show first visible results within an hour of spraying, depending on weather conditions and the type of weed.

Keep children and pets away from treated areas until spray has dried.

Where to use

Use to kill weeds on flower beds, borders, vegetable patches, around roses, shrubs, hedges, greenhouses and along fences. Ideal before cropping and ground clearance before cultivation.

Can be used to clean up weedy ground before planting vegetables, flowers, bushes and trees, and to renovate overgrown areas.

For the control of weeds around ornamental garden plants, trees and in areas not intended to bear vegetation.

Most effective when applied to newly established weeds or those less than 10–15 cm tall.

Do not direct spray or allow spray drift onto cultivated plants and lawn as this product destroys all green plant parts.

When to use

For best results treat small weeds at an early stage of growth and apply in warm, dry conditions (March to October).

Spray at any time when the weeds are actively growing and have adequate leaf area to absorb the spray. A repeat treatment may be necessary if rain or drought conditions are expected.

Apply in calm conditions to avoid drift onto cultivated plants.

Treated areas can be re-planted/re-seeded a day after treatment. Maximum number of treatments: 4 per year.
