An extract from Pinus spp. used as a non-selective contact herbicide and as a mild disinfectant in public health situations |

General weed control particularly soft non-woody species; General disingectant; Bacteria; Viruses |
|
Non-food areas; Domestic gardens; Public areas |
|
As a herbicide in an agricultrual situation field studies have shown control ratings across a range of common agrcultural weeds of around 10%. Whilst initial visiual effects look promising regrowth is rapid. Efficacy is best for soft, non-woody, shallow rooted weeds especially as seedlings. |
