Hello Peter,
There are a wide range of products available for your needs – everyone will have their own favourite but it’s a good question to ask. Just like beer, too much of one thing is not healthy so a mix of weedkillers/ active ingredients will prevent any resistance build-up.
Lawn weed control - (broad spectrum): Polax - contains florasulam & fluroxypyr - which is especially good for difficult lawn weeds such as; mouse-ear, speedwell, yarrow etc. Now we also have Dicophar a replacement for Tribute - which is a nice mix of four actives so a great all-rounder
Lawn moss control: You cannot beat Sul-fe (iron sulphate ) – soluble powder, very economical – 21% iron – almost instant blackening while you spray so it's great for customers to see that something has been done
Lawn feed; Powder/ liquid? Slow-release / standard release? The debate rages.. but a compound granular product range such as Amvista the seaweed + fert liquid Maxicrop range are really popular.
Contractors – slow release liquids or granules from our Vitax range provide excellent value for money
Selective weed/grass killer for borders: You might struggle here – most selectives target broad-leaved plants not monocotyledons (grasses) so border plants are at risk. Really you need a glyphosate to minimise any residue or movement of excess spray through soil - but use a spray shield or a weedwiper for ultimate control
Total weed killers: New Roundup Pro-Bio for ultimate – up to date clean label glyphosate or Hammer – instant knockdown in 24hrs with systemic action to kill the root so results are seen quickly albeit the actual control takes as long as a standard glyphosate.
Knotweed: Do you mean Japanese Knotweed? For Japanese Knotweed Roundup 450 – super strength glyphosate – used in a stem injection system – best results when treated after flowering. It is also best to follow any guidelines on application on gov.uk website - it a great site and gives very clear guidance.
As ever choices are personal and can come down to cost - so it is also worth looking at application rates too to make sure you are making cost effective decisions.
Sorry it's a bit of an essay but hope this helps - happy to take you through what we have discussed whenever 0800 032 6262
