What is Roundup Optima+?

Roundup® Optima+ Weedkiller is a non-selective weedkiller. Created especially for using with sprayers to treat annual/perennial weeds, grasses, damaged lawns or any plants no longer wanted. Applied to leaves it is absorbed and moves through the entire plant to kill it above and below ground.

Optima+ non-selective nature makes it great for clearing large areas of annual and perennial weeds.

Simple to use and mix in water, Roundup Optima+ is suitable for use on hard areas not intended to hold vegetation and to clear weedy ground before planting with vegetables, flowers, bushes and trees. Also suitable for renovating overgrown areas or lawn destruction before planting up or returfing.

Roundup Optima+ works on plants by translocation and is inactivated on contact with the ground. It is degraded by soil microorganisms. This means you can plant treated areas from around seven days after application.

Roundup Optima+ weed killer works to kill most annual and deep-rooted perennial weeds including:

Brambles, Bracken, Nettles, Grasses, Dandelions, Docks, Nettles, Ground Elder, Bindweed and Thistles and other tough, woody weeds

How Do I Prepare Roundup Optima+?

Roundup Optima+ is simple to use and easily mixes with water for application with a Garden Sprayer

Always read the bottle label for full user instructions and mixing ratios.

When Should I use Roundup Optima+?

Use Roundup Optima+ weed killer any time weeds are actively growing and have adequate leaf area to absorb the spray.

Apply in calm conditions to avoid drift onto cultivated plants.

Roundup Optima+ works by absorption through the leaves and works by translocation to kill the whole weed from the roots up.

Treating Weeds with Roundup Optima+

Suitable for removing weeds from hard areas you don't plan to hold vegetation on, like tarmac, drives, patois and gravel paths.

For areas you do plan to plant up:

1. You may replant after one day if treating ground with a light covering of annual weeds.
2. If treating areas with dense coverage or deep rooted perennials, leave ground for at least seven days.

Garden tip:

The weedkiller's effectiveness is reduced if it rains within six hours of spraying. In this case, repeat treatments may be required.

For the best results:

Treat established perennial weeds at the start of flowering
Spray nettles and ground elder when new leaves have unfolded fully in late spring
Weeds may show first effects after a few days or may take up to 4 weeks
Leave treated perennial weeds for seven days before digging or cultivating soil so the weedkiller can move to the weed’s roots
Weeds can be dug in or composted without risk to future plants
Repeat treatments may be necessary if new growth reappears
To avoid getting weedkiller on your lawn do not walk on treated areas until the product is dry

Where Can I use Roundup Optima+ Weedkiller?

Roundup Optima+ is suitable for controlling most annual and perennial weeds around home gardens. Use to keep areas weed free, such as:

Gravel paths, Drives, Hard surfaces
Patios, tarmac, along fences and lawn edges
Clear weedy areas before planting vegetables, flowers, bushes and trees or to renovate overgrown areas
Lawn destruction - used between May and September
Direct spray away from ponds and and other bodies of water.

Garden tip:

Do not use on or near lawns or any plants you want to keep!
