Description
Key Features and Benefits
Non-Selective Weed Control: Cheetah Pro is a non-selective herbicide, meaning it targets and eliminates a wide range of weeds, both broadleaf and grassy, ensuring comprehensive coverage. This makes it ideal for clearing unwanted vegetation before planting or spot treatment in areas with persistent weeds.
Effective Against Glyphosate-Resistant Weeds: Cheetah Pro provides a powerful alternative as weed resistance to glyphosate becomes more common. It is particularly effective against weeds that have developed resistance to glyphosate, ensuring that your weed management program remains robust and effective.
Fast-Acting Formula: Cheetah Pro delivers quick results, with visible signs of weed control often appearing within hours of application. This rapid action helps prevent weeds from spreading and competing with desirable plants for nutrients and space.
Minimal Soil Residue: Cheetah Pro's significant advantage is its minimal soil residual activity. This allows for replanting in treated areas shortly after application, making it an excellent choice for pre-plant treatments in turf management, ornamental beds, and greenhouse operations.
Versatile Applications: Cheetah Pro is suitable for a wide range of uses, including:
- Pre-plant treatments in turf and ornamentals
- Weed control in greenhouses and nurseries
- Vegetation management around landscapes, walkways, and other non-crop areas
- Spot treatments in existing crops where selective weed control is needed
Rainfastness: Cheetah Pro is rainfast within 4 hours, so it remains effective even if rain occurs shortly after application. This ensures reliable performance under varying weather conditions.
Application Instructions
Application Rate:
- The typical application rate for Cheetah Pro is 1.5 to 4 quarts per acre, depending on the weed species, size, and density. Lower rates may be sufficient for smaller or more sensitive weeds, while higher rates may be required for more significant, more established weeds.
Mixing Instructions:
- Fill the spray tank with half the required amount of water.
- Add the appropriate amount of Cheetah Pro herbicide.
- Complete filling the tank with the remaining water, ensuring thorough mixing.
- A non-ionic surfactant is recommended for your specific application to improve coverage and efficacy.
Application Timing:
- For the best results, apply Cheetah Pro to actively growing weeds. Avoid applications when weeds are under stress due to drought, excessive moisture, or extreme temperatures, as this may reduce effectiveness.
Replanting Guidelines:
- Due to its minimal soil residual activity, Cheetah Pro allows for quick replanting in treated areas. Depending on the specific replanting interval recommendations, most crops, ornamentals, and turf can be safely planted or seeded shortly after application.
Safety Precautions:
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and applying Cheetah Pro. This includes gloves, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and eye protection.
- Follow all label instructions and local regulations regarding application and re-entry intervals.
