Roundup ProVantage is a patented potassium salt formulation glyphosate weed killer with a unique blend of two surfactants. The optimised blend of surfactants delivers highly efficient activity at the leaf surface and a synergistic improvement in glyphosate uptake and overall performance.
Roundup ProVantage total weed killer incorporates a high technical specification and the formulation has been designed to address stewardship aspects, so vital now for glyphosate application.
How Roundup ProVantage works
Roundup ProVantage is a total herbicide which is sprayed on to green leaves where it is absorbed and drawn into the plant's vascular system. It then stops the production of the amino acids which build the protein the plant needs to grow and survive. The plant effectively starves to death.

When to Apply Roundup ProVantage 5L
Timing
The timetable needs to be flexible according to conditions rather than calendar. The first spray should not be done until weeds have emerged and are actively growing and this will vary from year to year according to the weather.
The graph shows the weed killer spray windows as late April to mid-May for Spring treatment, with a subsequent optional spray in Summer, and a further spray in the period August to September.
Monitoring the Results
Inspection and evaluation is essential to assess the performance and check if you need follow-up treatments. Weeds sprayed with Roundup ProVantage do not show signs of die-back until 7-10 days have elapsed. It is important to be able to recognise early symptoms, so that treated weeds can be identified. Symptoms show first in Annual Meadow-grass, which takes on a yellow tinge a few days after spraying. Other grasses follow by turning first yellow, then reddish brown before they die.
Broad-leaved weeds will appear healthy at this time, however, if you look closely you will see the leaves will be turning white in the centre. Within a week the plant will be dead. Use this guide to monitor the progress and effect of the treatment. You should expect 95% kill of all weeds to occur with the 3.75 litre rate, approximately 10 - 21 days after treatment. Any seedlings that germinate after spraying will NOT be affected.

FAQs
If you spray the pavements and roads surely it will damage wildlife and get into the water?
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup ProVantage, controls weeds by blocking the plant’s protein production system. It stops the production of an enzyme, which is present in most plants but not in humans, animals, fish or insects. Glyphosate is not absorbed to any extent through skin and even when treated foliage is ingested by animals the glyphosate passes through the digestive system unmetabolised.
Why can’t you use non-chemical methods to keep the streets clean?
Mechanical methods of weed control such as the use of strimmers need to be carried out 2-3 times more often because they are not as effective at killing weed roots. This means council bills could cost up to 20 times more per season for mechanical methods compared to a Roundup ProVantage programme. There are other reasons too – such as the devastating effect of strimming on all other fauna in treated areas, not to mention the danger to the public and operators from flying debris and the increased carbon footprint from petrol engines.
I want to spray an area that is open to the public, do I need to prevent access to this area once sprayed? If so, for how long?
People, pets and wildlife need not be kept out of treated areas. It is best not to walk in areas where the spray is still wet as transfer to other vegetation may lead to unwanted damage to other foliage. Once the spray is dry this cannot occur. You should still carry out a COSHH assessment and try to make the application when public areas are not busy, e.g early in the morning.
