- Resilient – controls many difficult weeds
- Rainfast in 1 hour
- Classified Non-hazard/Non-irritant to the operator
- Dual action formulation
Application rates
To control annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds and grasses apply 225ml of PISTOL® in a minimum of 10L of water over 500m2.
This is equivalent to 4.5l/ha in a minimum of 200 litres of water per hectare.
45 ml Pistol in 2-4 L of water treats 100m2
A knapsack fitted with a flat fan nozzle or similar, using a pressure of around 1-2 bar is recommended. Good and even coverage of foliage and soil is essential for optimum activity.
Operator Safety
PISTOL® is classified as Non-hazard and Non-irritant to the operator under Chip 3 and COSHH regulations. PISTOL® is a water based non-solvent formulation.
Rainfastness
PISTOL’S® special liquid formulation is very ‘rainfast’. Once the spray application has dried, usually within 1 hour of application, rainfall will not interfere with its ability to control weeds.
Dual action formulation
PISTOL® combines the systemic activity of glyphosate with the soil acting residual properties of diflufenican. The two different active ingredients are specially formulated to provide the ultimate long lasting total weed control.
Tip: For established deep rooted perennial weeds such as dandelion, thistle, dock and nettles which may be re-generating, a post-emergence application is ideally required.

ACETIC ACID
Approved for use on hard surfaces.
Controls grasses, broad leaved weeds and mosses. New-Way Weedspray produces discolouration and browning of the foliage within a few hours of treatment. Perennial weeds generally require more than one application for control but annual weeds are usually controlled with one treatment.
Application Apply the spray so that leaves and stems are fully wetted before run-off. As the product works by contact action it is important that the weed is fully covered otherwise there will be partial control. The product is not translocated within the plant and therefore is safer to use around trees, shrubs and other valuable plants.
Mixing Mix 1 part New-Way Weedspray to 3 parts of clean water. For example in a 16 litre knapsack sprayer mix 4 litres of New-Way Weedspray to 12 litres of water in the following manner. Half fill spray tank with clean water. Add the required amount of New-Way Weedspray. Fill the tank with more clean water to the required level. Agitate before use.
Can be used all year round.
