Over the last six months, parts of Australia have experienced significant rain events, particularly in Qld and NSW. Despite these wet conditions. "Weed Stop," a bare ground weed control herbicide, has delivered exceptional performance across various situations, from gravel driveways and fence lines to industrial areas and mine sites.

Weed stop is a pre-emergent herbicide which acts on germinating weed seeds and provides long term bare ground weed control. Weed stop is tank mixed with a knockdown herbicide, such as glyphosate to extend weed control for months after application. Glyphosate kills the weeds, Weed Stop stops the seeds. Best results are achieved when Weed Stop is applied evenly to bare ground.

Vegetation managers have noted "Weed Stop's" strength in maintaining clear, weed-free areas even after receiving substantial rainfall totals over the summer. When tank-mixed with a knockdown herbicide, "Weed Stop" has consistently proven its effectiveness, providing reliable weed control and reducing the amount of sprays required during the year. Its performance on gravel driveways and industrial areas has been particularly impressive.

Weed Stop stands out as a crucial tool in bare ground weed management, ensuring that properties and infrastructure remain weed-free and manageable.

Customer Testimonials:

Resistant ryegrass on Road Sides and Fence lines:

“Glyphosate resistant ryegrass is a big problem for us. The use of Weed Stop in conjunction with a robust knock down herbicide program has allowed us to get on top of the resistant ryegrass on the road sides and fence lines.” (Spray Contractor NE Vic)

Mines sites:

“With a great safety profile and long residual, Weed Stop has been a game changer allowing us to reduce the amount of time we spend spraying. With all the rain we have had in QLD, we are not having to come back for months, where as if we only sprayed glyphosate we’d be back every 10-14 days.  (Spray Contractor Central QLD)”

Fencelines:

“Weed Stop when applied to bare ground has allowed us to keep our fence lines clean, preventing the electric fences from shorting out and becoming a fire risk.” (Farmer, Western Victoria)

Gravel driveways:

“I sprayed Weed Stop in August 2024, We had a wet start to the summer and its still bare in the middle of Feb. It’s a great product, freeing my time up to do other things.” (Lifestyle Farmer, Central Victoria)

Wind and Solar farms.

“Weed Stop has been a great herbicide to add with our knockdown to keep the tracks and infrastructure around the power farms weed free.” (Spray Contractor, Victoria)
