Spartan Herbicide is a pre-emergent herbicide designed to stop weeds before they grow. It works by targeting weed roots as they germinate, providing long-lasting weed control in established turf.

Key Features:
Active Ingredient: 480 g/L prodiamine in a suspension concentrate (SC).

How It Works: Spartan creates a protective barrier in the soil that prevents weed seeds from developing roots, effectively stopping their growth.

Suitable Turf Types:

Spartan Herbicide is safe to use on the following established turf varieties:

Bahia Grass
Buffalo Grass
Carpet Grass
Common Couch
Hybrid Couch
Kikuyu
Queensland Blue Couch
Seashore Paspalum
Zoysia

Weeds Controlled:
Spartan targets a wide range of weeds, including:

Barnyard Grass
Crab Grass
Parramatta Grass
Rat’s Tail Fescue
Summer Grass
Crowsfoot Grass
African Lovegrass
Bahia Grass
Kentucky Blue Grass
Paspalum
Winter Grass

Application Tips:
Coverage: Ensure even application and good soil incorporation for the best results.
Water Activation: Apply at least 6 mm of rainfall or irrigation within 7 days after application to activate the herbicide.
Timing: Apply before weed seeds germinate for optimal performance.

Why It’s Effective:
Small-seeded weeds are more affected as their entire root system grows within the treated soil zone.
Warm-season grasses are less affected due to their deep, established roots that access moisture and nutrients beyond the herbicide zone.

Packaging:
Available in a convenient 500 mL pack.
