ProForce Rapid Fire 800 SG Herbicide is a professional strength non selective systemic herbicide containing 800g/kg Glyphosate, formulated as a highly soluble granule for the control of a wide range of annual, perennial, aquatic, brush and woody weeds.

Rapid Fire 800 SG is absorbed through weed foliage and green stems before moving throughout the plant and into the root system. This systemic action makes it suitable for controlling both above ground growth and underground plant parts of susceptible weeds.

Its concentrated soluble granule formulation incorporates a specialised adjuvant system, is highly soluble in cold water and produces relatively low foam during mixing. The formulation contains a high loading of glyphosate while avoiding the handling and disposal requirements associated with large liquid herbicide drums.

Rapid Fire 800 SG can be used for general weed control in domestic, commercial, industrial and public service areas, as well as a range of non agricultural, aquatic, forestry, brush and woody weed situations where permitted by the product label.

Important: Rapid Fire 800 SG is a non selective herbicide. Spray contact or drift onto lawns, turf, garden plants, crops or other desirable vegetation may cause severe damage or plant death.

Application Guide

Apply Rapid Fire 800 SG to actively growing weeds using suitable spray equipment.

For general weed control, apply enough spray solution to achieve complete and uniform wetting of the weed foliage.

For small area applications, dissolve the required amount of product in clean water. Fill the spray tank approximately halfway with water, add Rapid Fire 800 SG and mix thoroughly before adding the remaining water. 

Do not treat weeds that are under stress from drought, waterlogging, disease, insect damage or frost, as reduced control may result.

Avoid treating weeds heavily covered with dust or silt.

Rainfall within 6 hours of application may reduce effectiveness. Heavy rainfall within 2 hours may wash product from the foliage and require repeat treatment. 

Do not disturb treated annual weeds by cultivation, sowing or grazing for 1 day after treatment.

Do not disturb treated perennial weeds for 7 days after treatment.

Visible symptoms on annual weeds generally begin within approximately 3 to 7 days. Perennial weeds may take 2 to 3 weeks or longer to show obvious symptoms, particularly during cool or cloudy conditions. 

Always read and follow the complete product label before use.

Boom application:

1 to 4kg per hectare
