Features
Specialty herbicide for use as a spot treatment for a wide range of common troublesome woody, rhizomatous and herbaceous weeds.
A ready-to-use gel packed in an applicator pack that requires no preparation prior to use and provides targeted weed control with minimal off-target risk.
Particularly useful for rapid treatment of isolated weeds where access for foliar spray equipment is difficult or where foliar treatment may cause off-target spray drift and damage to desirable trees or crops.
Blue-coloured gel ensures users can clearly see which weeds have been treated.
Application
Check the label for which is the best method to use as different weeds will require a different application method.
Leaf Wiping
Herbaceous weeds such as cape weed and thistles, Vigilant II can be applied directly onto the leaves of the weed.
- Wipe in one direction along the length of the leaf
- You can also use it as a paint, where you dab it onto the leaves of broad leaf weeds
Paint and Scrape
Woody weeds with stems less than 2 cm in diameter:
- Scrape off the bark exposing a strip of 20 to 30 cm with an axe or knife and immediately apply Vigilant II with the wiping applicator over the exposed surface
Woody weeds with stems greater than 2 cm in diameter:
- Cut the stump with an axe or saw, close to the ground and immediately apply a thick layer of Vigilant II to the cut surface
