Description

Roundup Turbo Herbicide 1L

Roundup Turbo Herbicide 1L offers a dual-action formula combining glyphosate for systemic uptake with diquat for quick foliar desiccation. Ideal for non-crop zones—such as pathways, patios, and utility right-of-ways—it controls broadleaf and grass weeds at all growth stages. With fast rainfastness and no soil residual activity, Roundup Turbo lets you re-enter treated areas sooner while preventing regrowth from underground shoots.

Key Features

• Dual active ingredients: 360 g/L glyphosate and 100 g/L diquat

• Visible foliar burn in 4 hours, complete die-off in 7–14 days

• Rainfast in 30 minutes to minimise wash-off risk

• Ready-to-use 1 L spray bottle with adjustable nozzle

• Non-selective action on grasses and broadleaf weeds

• No soil activity—safe for subsequent planting once vegetation has died back

• Ergonomic bottle for easy handling and application

• Low odour formula for user comfort

Technical Specifications

• Bottle Size: 1 L

• Coverage: Treats up to 200 m² per litre at recommended spray angle

• pH Stability: 4 – 9

• Rainfast Period: 30 minutes

• Re-entry Interval: 4 hours for pedestrians, 24 hours for livestock

• Storage: Store upright at 5 – 30 °C in a dry, well-ventilated area

• Shelf Life: 24 months when stored as directed

Mode of Action

Glyphosate inhibits the EPSP synthase enzyme, halting aromatic amino acid synthesis and causing systemic plant collapse from roots upward. Diquat acts as a contact desiccant, producing reactive oxygen species that damage cell membranes for rapid leaf tissue browning. Combined, they ensure both immediate visual control and prevention of regrowth from surviving underground parts. For more on glyphosate’s chemistry, see Glyphosate (Wikipedia).

Application Instructions

Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:

• Preparation: Shake bottle well before use

• Spray Technique: Hold nozzle 20–30 cm from foliage and apply until leaf surfaces are evenly coated but not dripping

• Target Weeds: Apply to actively growing weeds up to 30 cm tall; for dense patches, use overlapping passes

• Timing: Treat during calm weather (wind < 10 km/h) and temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C

• Safety: Do not apply under direct sunlight to prevent volatilisation; avoid application during rain or frost

• Post-Application: Allow 30 minutes before rain or irrigation; wait until full vegetation death before replanting or landscaping (typically 7–14 days)

Recommended Use Areas

• Driveways, sidewalks, and patios

• Fence lines and shed surrounds

• Industrial yards and loading bays

• Railway and utility rights-of-way

• Garden beds between crops once vegetation has died back (see internal guide: Weed Management Guide)

Benefits

• Rapid Control: Diquat delivers visible burn in hours, reducing trip hazards quickly

• Long-Term Suppression: Glyphosate’s systemic action prevents regrowth from roots and rhizomes

• No Soil Residue: Safe for reuse of treated area without residual soil activity

• Ease of Use: RTU spray bottle requires no mixing or measuring on site

• Cost-Effective: Dual action in one formula saves time and reduces need for repeat treatments

Safety and Precautions

• Wear gloves, eye protection, long-sleeve clothing, and a respirator during application

• Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling product

• Keep children and pets off treated areas until foliage is completely dry

• Avoid drift onto ornamental plants—protect desirable vegetation with shields

• Clean equipment and rinse sprayer at least three times after use to prevent clogging

Environmental Considerations

• Biodegrades rapidly in soil—minimal groundwater contamination risk

• Low toxicity to birds and mammals when used as directed

• Buffer a three-metre zone from aquatic habitats to protect fish and invertebrates

• Consult the EPA Pesticide Registration site for local regulatory guidance

Maintenance and Storage

• Inspect nozzle and filter before each use; clean any debris

• Store in original container with cap tightly sealed

• Keep level to prevent leaks and spills

• Lock storage area to prevent unauthorised access

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replant immediately after treatment?
Allow at least 7 days after foliage death before planting turf or ornamentals; wait 14 days for deep-rooted perennials.

Is this safe for pets?
Keep pets off treated areas until spray has dried completely (usually 30 minutes to 1 hour).

Can I mix with other herbicides?
Do not mix RTU Roundup Turbo with other products. For tank-mix options, use concentrated formulations only as per label instructions.
