Selective Herbicides

Rainbow & Brown stocks a wide range of cost-effective selective herbicides.  Selective herbicides mean that they are specifically designed to be used to kill specific weeds in a specific crop or pasture without damaging that crop or pasture.

This selectivity can be achieved through chemical means or even physical means like using pre-emergent weed killers that will only penetrate to a shallow depth to kill weeds in deep rooting crops.

Selective Herbicides include:

• WHACK – 2,4-D 800 - herbicide to kill a wide range of pasture weeds in new and established 
• Buckshot – selective in that you are only applying it to your target weed
• Cut’n’Paste herbicide gels and pastes that although non-selective, are selective because you apply only on your target weed.
• Decision weed killer for pasture and clover-friendly buttercup control in new and established pasture.
• Dicamba 500 SL selective herbicide for broadleaf weed control in pasture and lawns.
• GrassMate for lawn and pasture-friendly control of a range of broadleaf and brush weeds.
• Halox 100 EC which is selective to kill grasses in forestry, lucerne, and clover crops.
• Lawnclean herbicide for use on many broadleaf weeds in lawn, turf and waste areas.
• MCPA750 pasture-friendly, clover gentle herbicide for broadleaf weeds and thistles.
• Ralid herbicide to kill thistles, particularly californian thistles in pasture. Use on various crops, pasture, turf, and forest areas.
• Ranger to kill docks and buttercup in pasture.  Cost-effective buttercup spray for horse paddocks.
• Triclo – selective for a range of broadleaf weeds in pasture and lawn, but will also kill Kikuyu.
