    Spartan Pre-Emergent Herbicide 500mL

    Spartan Pre-Emergent Herbicide 500mL is a highly effective solution for pre-emergent weed control, made to safeguard your turf from invasive annual grasses and weeds. By forming a protective barrier in the soil, Spartan prevents weed germination for up to six months, ensuring your lawn remains healthy and free from competition. This herbicide is ideal for both summer and winter applications, offering season-long protection against persistent grassy weeds such as Winter Grass, Summer Grass, and Crab Grass.

    Key Features

    • Provides long-lasting pre-emergent weed control for up to six months.

    • Effective against a wide range of annual weeds, including African Lovegrass, Parramatta Grass, and Crowsfoot Grass.

    • Reduces the need for expensive post-emergent herbicides by preventing weed germination.

    • Compatible with various turf types, including Kikuyu, Couch, Zoysia, and Buffalo grasses.

    • Low odour formulation for user convenience.

    • Unscheduled product (exempt from poison scheduling), ensuring safer handling.

    • Minimises competition for sunlight and nutrients from invasive weeds.

    • Flexible application – allows delayed watering-in if necessary.

    Crowsfoot grass, summer grass, winter grass (Poa annua), crab grass, paspalum, African lovegrass, barnyard grass, ryegrass, prairie grass, rat’s tail fescue, chickweed, capeweed, cudweed, creeping oxalis, and flatweed.

    How to Use

    • Timing: Apply Spartan before weed seeds germinate – early spring or late summer are ideal times.

    • Preparation: Ensure the lawn is not under stress or newly laid (wait until roots are over 3cm deep).

    • Application: Mix the recommended amount of Spartan (10–40mL per 100m²) with water and apply evenly using a sprayer with coarse droplets.

    • Watering-In: Water thoroughly within a few days after application to activate the herbicide barrier in the soil.
