Choosing the Right Selective Weed Control Product

Selective weedkillers control different weed species and are approved for different areas, so identify the weeds and check the product label before choosing a treatment. For example, Grazon Pro is ideal for controlling docks, nettles, and various other paddock weeds. Meanwhile, Envy is better at controlling buttercups, daisies and dandelions. For this reason, it is important to check the product before purchase or application to ensure it targets what you need.

The equipment you use to apply your selective weed killer depends on the product you purchase. Some weed control products only have certain approvals on how they can be applied. For instance, some can only be applied with a boom sprayer, while others are limited to knapsack sprayers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does selective weed control work?

Selective weed control targets susceptible weeds while leaving approved grass species unharmed when used as directed. Many selective herbicides disrupt the weed's normal growth, eventually causing it to die. The weeds controlled and the way the product works vary by active ingredient, so always check the label.

When is the best time to apply selective weedkiller?

Selective weedkiller is generally most effective when the target weeds are actively growing. Suitable timing varies by product, weed species and weather conditions. Avoid treating weeds that are stressed by drought, frost or waterlogging, and follow the label’s instructions regarding temperature, rainfall and application timing.

Is selective weed control animal-friendly?

Animals must remain outside a treated area for any period specified on the product label. Requirements vary between products and may be longer where poisonous weeds such as ragwort are present because treated plants can become more palatable after spraying. Always follow the label's livestock, pet and grazing restrictions before allowing animals to return.
