www.acaengineering.com.auBioWeed™ Herbicide. Used in agriculture, horticulture and by municipalities. Spot spraying and selective broad acre spraying of blackberry, gorse, ragwort, patterson's curse, thistles and other invasive weed species. BioWeed™ Herbicide works by desiccation of the cell walls of all contacted plant and seed tissue. On contacting living plant or seed tissue it quickly penetrates and disrupts normal membrane permeability and cellular physiology. Sprayed weed leaf tissue becomes dehydrated, creating a quick, visual browning effect within 1 to 12 hours of application. BioWeed™ Herbicide is a certified organic input.
