Preparation and Usage
Where to useRoundup® Optima+ controls annual weeds and most perennial weeds around the garden and on areas not intended to bear vegetation such as hard surfaces, patios, drives, tarmac, paths and gravel areas. It can be used to clean up weedy ground before planting vegetables, flowers, bushes and trees, and to renovate overgrown areas. Direct spray away from ponds and other surface water bodies. Do not use on wanted plants. Do not use on areas of lawn unless you want to kill it. Do not use under polythene or glass.Lawn DestructionApply Roundup® Optima+ to actively growing lawn before the onset of dormancy, usually between May and September. Allow at least 7-10 days for Roundup® Optima+ to be translocated to the roots of treated lawn. Remove dying and dead lawn. Either re-seed with grass seed or re-turf according to seed or turf providers instructions. Roundup® Optima+ should not be used on areas of lawn unless the user wants to kill it.Brush weeds and saplings (Foliar applications)Roundup® Optima+ to be added to: Sprayer - 1 litre of waterBrush weeds: Brambles, Nettles, Horsetail (see below#) Bracken - 20ml - Area treated 30 m² - When to treat: Brambles, Nettles, scrub: June - September Horsetail, Bracken: July - August Fully grown Nettles: cut back in early summer and treat regrowth in September# Some tough weeds (e.g. Horsetail & Ground Elder) may need a repeat treatment if regrowth appears.How to useAlthough not a requirement, as good practice, we recommend wearing waterproof gloves and gardening footwear.

Add the measured amount of concentrate (use the measuring cap). Shake gently and add clean water to the total amount needed. Close the sprayer; put it under pressure; direct the nozzle to the target weeds and spray. Apply by sprayer to lightly wet the leaves. 1 litre is approximately 2 pints. 5 litres is approximately 1 gallon.Do not apply through, or store in, galvanised or unlined steel sprayers or watering cans.

Roundup® Optima+ is degraded by micro-organisms in the soil.Instructions for use- Apply as a foliar spray to weeds at any time when the weeds are actively growing and have adequate leaf area to absorb the spray.- Avoid spraying when rain is imminent. Rain within 6 hours of spraying may reduce effectiveness, so repeat treatment may be necessary.- Avoid spraying in windy conditions, as spray drift to lawns and other wanted plants will damage or destroy them.- Avoid all other spray contact with cultivated plants. If cultivated plants are treated by mistake, immediately and thoroughly wash off the weedkiller with ample water.RestrictionIf not applied as a spot treatment, the maximum yearly dose must not exceed the dose indicated in the above crop tables.Do not walk or allow children and pets into treated areas until the product has dried on leaves to avoid transfer to lawns and other desired vegetation.Maximum individual dose: 1 a year.
