Weeds are every gardener and farmer’s worst nightmare. They compete with crops and ornamental plants for nutrients, water, and sunlight, often leading to stunted growth and reduced yields.

What is Starane Advanced Herbicide?
STARANE ADVANCED is a highly effective, selective herbicide designed to control a wide range of tough broadleaf weeds in lawns, pastures, and crops. Its advanced formula ensures fast action while being gentle on desirable grasses, making it a top choice for both professional landscapers and home gardeners across Australia.
Starane Advanced Herbicide – 20L
What Makes STARANE ADVANCED So Effective?
STARANE ADVANCED contains fluroxypyr, a powerful active ingredient that disrupts weed growth by mimicking natural plant hormones. This leads to uncontrolled cell division, causing the weeds to wilt, deform, and eventually die.
Key Benefits:
Fast-acting – Visible results within 24–48 hours
Rainfast in 1 hour – Resistant to wash-off after a short drying period
Grass-friendly – Safe for most turf types, including Buffalo, Kikuyu, and Couch
Versatile application – Suitable for pastures, crops, lawns, and non-crop areas
Target Weeds: What Does STARANE ADVANCED Control?
STARANE ADVANCED is particularly effective against broadleaf weeds, including:
| Common Weeds | Scientific Name |
|---|---|
| Bindii (Jo-Jo Weed) | Soliva sessilis |
| Clover | Trifolium spp. |
| Thistles | Cirsium spp. |
| Dandelions | Taraxacum officinale |
| Plantain | Plantago spp. |
| Capeweed | Arctotheca calendula |
This herbicide is not effective on grasses, sedges, or woody plants, so it’s perfect for spot treatment in lawns without harming the turf.
How to Use STARANE ADVANCED for Best Results
Step 1: Correct Mixing
Use 10–20 mL of STARANE ADVANCED per 1 L of water (for handheld sprayers).
For larger areas (e.g., pastures), follow label rates (typically 300–500 mL per hectare).
Step 2: Application Tips
Apply during active weed growth (spring and autumn are ideal).
Avoid spraying in extreme heat or windy conditions to prevent drift.
Use a fine spray nozzle for even coverage.
Step 3: Post-Application Care
Avoid mowing for at least 2–3 days after application.
Do not water treated areas for at least 6 hours.
Safety Tips and Environmental Considerations
While STARANE ADVANCED is safe when used correctly, follow these precautions:
Wear gloves, long sleeves, and eye protection when mixing and spraying.
Keep away from children and pets until the spray has dried.
Do not spray near waterways to protect aquatic life.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from food and animal feed.
Why Choose STARANE ADVANCED Over Other Herbicides?
Many herbicides either damage grass or require multiple applications. STARANE ADVANCED stands out because:
- Works on resistant weeds (where other herbicides fail).
- Low chemical load – Breaks down efficiently in soil.
- Cost-effective – Fewer repeat applications are needed.
Comparisons:
Glyphosate (Roundup): Non-selective (kills everything).
MCPA: Less effective on tough weeds like bindii.
Dicamba: Higher risk of drift damage.
