Depitox 500 Selective Weed Killer 5L - Full Description

Depitox 500 is a selective herbicide for the control of many tough broad-leaved weeds (including ragwort) in amenity and agricultural grassland. It is most effective on docks, thistles, nettles, rush and ragwort. It is widely used as a mixer product as it is more effective this way. We would recommend mixing with another selective herbicide in order to increase its spectrum.

Keep livestock out of treated area until poisonous weeds such as ragwort have died and become unpalatable. It is also advised to keep livestock out for 1-2 weeks prior to application to allow lush growth. To gain better results, mix in with a herbicide enhancer called Activate-G.
