NoMix Dual is a great alternative to using standard glyphosate weed killer . This product is the only long-lasting herbicide available for use of both hard and permeable surfaces . Not only does NoMix Dual prevent further weed growth and provide residual control , it also controls emerged broad-leaved and grass weeds . Another important health and safety feature of this product is that no mixing or diluting is required . Simply connect the pre-mixed pack to a NoMix TDC ( Total Droplet Control ) Applicator , press the button and treat the required areas .

as Validate are able to help tackle the toughest of weeds and can penetrate waxy leaves , such as ivy , helping the weed killer work first time without repeated sprays . Adjuvants have a great number of benefits by improving effects , reducing re-treatment , decreasing labour costs and minimising the chemical load in the environment .
Another way to get the most out of glyphosate is by combining it with a suitable residual weed control such as Valdor Flex . The combination of Valdor Flex and a glyphosate weed killer allows you to control weeds that are present at the time of spraying while also preventing weeds from returning for up to 4 months . Having this residual effect gives you some extra time of not having to spray weeds that would have already returned with glyphosate therefore preserving your stock levels .
