Spartan Pre-Emergent Herbicide
Spartan Herbicide is a pre-emergent herbicide that can be used as an effective tool to help Turf Managers control annual weeds (Summer & Winter).
Spartan Herbicide selectivity is primarily through soil profile placement. Small-seeded plants take up greater amounts of the herbicide as they germinate in the soil profile zone of herbicide placement. Warm Season grasses can be less prone to root inhibition due to the fact they have a multiple fibrous root system, hence good even coverage and incorporation is required to ensure the weeds cannot recover by establishing roots outside the zone of herbicide activity.
Application should be prior to germination of the weeds.
Poison Schedule - Non Scheduled (Unscheduled)

- Reduces future weed set and germination
- Reduces the reliance on costly selective post-emergent herbicides
- Unscheduled (exempt from poison scheduling)
- Low odour formulation
- Minimises nutrient and sunlight competition from annual grasses
- Application compatibility with wetting agents
- Economical solution for your main annual weed problems including African Lovegrass, Parramatta Grass, Summer Grass, Crab Grass, Crowsfoot Grass and Winter Grass
- Flexibility to delay wash-in for a few days if necessary
Rates: 10-30 mL per 100 m2
Apply prior to weed emergence in early spring (summer weeds) or late summer to early autumn (Winter Grass, Poa annua).
Total application volume should not be lower than 5 L per 100 m2. Use extremely coarse droplets. Wash in with at least 6 mm rain or irrigation within 7 days of application.
