Application timing and variable rates of Recondo turf Herbicide
Recondo turf herbicide has long lasting activity and rarely requires repeat applications apart from on Kikuyu grass. For the suppression of Kikuyu grass, make 2 applications 21 to 28 days apart. You will get the best results from autumn applications.
- The best time for Kikuyu grass suppression is in Autumn, so aim to apply around the end of March. A repeat application should then be made around 4 weeks later at the end of April.
- To get the best results against wintergrass or ryegrass, apply when plants are actively growing. The reason for this is that the chemical needs to be taken up by leaves, shoots and roots of target weeds.
