Overview

Contact weed killer performance with organic assurance

WeedX™ medium chain triglyceride contact weed killer for fast desiccation of weeds in organic and residue-conscious programs with zero pre-harvest interval.

Glyphosate-Free

Formulated without glyphosate for organic and residue-conscious programmes.

Rapid Action

Treated foliage desiccates rapidly once it has been thoroughly wetted.

Wide Spectrum

Controls a broad range of annual broadleaf, grass and sedge weeds.

Benefits

Key benefits

Contact-Active Blend

Contact-active fatty acid blend for young, actively growing weeds.

Cuticular Disruption

Strips the waxy leaf cuticle so cell contents leak and treated foliage dries out.

Short-Persistence Spray

Useful where residue-sensitive, short-persistence sprays are preferred.

Thorough Coverage Required

Requires thorough spray wetting because activity is primarily contact-based.

Mode of action

How it works

Contact-active fatty acids penetrate the leaf cuticle and disrupt cell membranes, causing rapid electrolyte leakage, tissue desiccation and collapse of the exposed weed foliage.
