Roundup Herbicide
A post-emergent general weed killer
Roundup is a water-soluble herbicide applies as foliar spray. It provides complete control of perennial grasses broadleaf weeds and sedges as well as annual weeds on registered crops. Its non-crop uses include reforestation areas and rice levees, drainage ditches, irrigation canals, around fish ponds, field bounderies, roadsides, fence rows, railroad yard and tracks, around buildings, golf courses and memorial parks.
Directions for use:
With one half of the required amount of water to the mixing or spray tank add the required amount roundup herbicide. Mix well before adding the remaining portion of water. For knapsack sprayers. It is suggested to mix the solution in a separate container and fill the knapsack with mixed solution. Early dry season low volume spraying of round up applied at 200 to 400 liter of water per hectare provides best results. When sprayed uniformly on tall dense foliage of cogon or on shorter pieces such mutha Roundup will provide a minimum of 7 months weed control.

The efficacy of roundup may be enhanced by dissolving and adding 1% crystalline ammonium sulphate (AMS) to the spray solution for the control of various weeds including cogon. For best results spray 1 liter Roundup mixed with 1.5 to 2kg ams in 200 liters water per hectare for touch-up application on physical misses at 30 days after initial treatment. In mixed weed solutions , 1 % solutions sprayed evenly on weeds will provide effective control.
A 3-30% aqueous solution of Roundup may be applied with wiper to control weeds around sensitive plants like young coffee, cacao, citrus, mango, banana, sugarcane and vegetables.
