Roundup Quik

Roundup QuikPRO is a granular non-selective herbicide. As the name implies the herbicide delivers effectively fast and noticeable weed control within just 24 hours of initial application.

QuikPRO is not suitable as an herbicide for commercial crops but can be used as a weed controller in commercial, industrial and residential areas.

It even gets rid of tough weeds such as broadleaf and grass weeds, or woody brush and tree roots.

Roundup Quick Pro has a rainfast power of about one hour, meaning rain does not wash away the herbicide easily.

Lets look at in depth review of quick pro:

The efficiency of Roundup QuikPRO can be negatively affected by extremely cold or cloudy weather, leading to slower activity and a delay of visual symptoms such as yellowing and browning of the weed plant.

What’s Good?

  • Mixes easily with water
  • Easy Clean-up
  • Kills everything, weeds, bushes, grass, small trees, etc
  • Very Quick Results within 24 hours
  • Dustless dry granule formula

What’s Wrong?

  • Although it has low toxicity but on skin contact it might cause skin irritations, vomiting, etc.
  • The herbicide should be applied very carefully as it is ‘Non-selective’ and kills all the plants along with the unwanted weeds.
  • The herbicide is highly toxic to aquatic animals and contaminates water. Therefore it should not be disposed in drains or used near any water bodies.

Ingredients

Roundup QuikPro contains two active ingredients so that it can deal with tough weeds quickly, which are 73.3% Glyphosate and 2.9% Diquat Dibromide. Glyphosate is a surfactant which allows fast burn down of the weed plant.

The rest of 23.8% consists of miscellaneous ingredients.

Roundup QuikPro works by being absorbed by weeds. From there the herbicide moves to the growing points of shoots and roots of the weed, where it interferes with enzymatic production of amino acids.

This production mechanism is very essential for plant growth and when the herbicide disturbs this process it kills the weed.

Manufacturer
