Polo Selective Weed Killer 10L

Polo Selective Weed Killer is a strong selective herbicide used to control tough paddock weeds such as ragwort, thistles, docks & buttercup in areas of grassland and crops such as winter wheat and barley. Polo contains two strong hormonal active ingredients, 2,4-D and MCPA, which are fast-acting and cause the plant to twist and distort within days, making it a popular and highly effective weedkiller.

Polo is ideal for large areas as it comes in a 10L bottle that covers 7 acres. These two active ingredients are also available separately as Depitox™ (2,4-d) and Agritox® (mcpa).

To help increase the spectrum of controlable weeds, we would recommend mixing with a product called Vivendi.

We recommend applying Polo between the months of April and October when both the weeds and grass are actively growing. Apply the product with a medium to fine nozzle and spray onto a dry leaf. You will need to avoid spraying if rain is forecast or if the grass is stressed due to frost or drought as this will reduce the product's performance. This product can only be used through a Boom or ATV sprayer. If you want to spray through a knapsack then look at Thrust.

Horses and livestock need to be kept out of treated area until poisonous weeds (such as ragwort) have died and become unpalatable.

Grazing exclusion: 14 days after application after treating with Polo.

This product was previously known as Headland Polo.
