Tackle (Total Systemic Herbicide | 1 Liter)

Tackle is a non-selective, systemic herbicide for clearing weeds before planting. It is a good fit for conservation or zero-tillage farming, where weeds are killed by spraying instead of ploughing. It is absorbed through the leaves and carried down to the roots, so weeds die completely instead of growing back after a few weeks. Farmers use it for land preparation, weeding around oil palm, cocoa, cashew and citrus, and keeping fence lines and compounds clean.

Product details

• Active ingredient: Glyphosate 360 g/L
• Type: non-selective, systemic (kills all green plants it touches)
• Use: land preparation before planting, plantation weeding, non-crop areas
• Controls: annual and perennial grasses (including spear grass), broadleaf weeds and sedges

How to use

Spray actively growing weeds before planting or around tree crops. Use clean water only, and always add the herbicide to the water, not the other way round. Use the rate on the label for your weed type: annual weeds need less, tough perennial grasses such as spear grass need more. A rain-free period of at least 6 hours after spraying is needed. Plant 7 to 14 days after spraying, once the weeds have turned yellow.

Tips for best results

• Spray in the morning or evening when weeds are actively growing, not during drought.
• Do not spray on windy days. Drift will kill crops nearby.
• Do not let the spray touch the leaves or green stems of your crops. Use a shield around young trees.
• Glyphosate is inactivated by soil, so it does not stop new weed seeds from germinating later.

Safety

• Read and follow the product label before use. The label rate is the legal and correct rate.
• Wear gloves, boots, long sleeves and a face mask or shield when mixing and spraying.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke while spraying. Wash hands and face after use.
• Keep away from children, food and animal feed. Store in the original container in a cool, dry, locked place.
• Do not wash sprayers or empty containers in streams, wells or fish ponds.

Frequently asked questions

Will Tackle kill my crops?
Yes, if it touches their leaves. It is non-selective, so use it before planting or as a directed spray around established tree crops.

How long before the weeds die?
You will see yellowing in about 5 to 10 days. Perennial grasses can take 2 to 3 weeks to dry completely.

When can I plant after spraying?
Usually 7 to 14 days after spraying, once the weeds have dried. Follow the label for your crop.

Is it a good replacement for paraquat?
Yes. Paraquat is banned in Nigeria. Glyphosate herbicides like Tackle are the most common legal choice for clearing land before planting.
