Nufarm Cheetah Pro 30Gl (5/Pl) ( glufosinate-ammonium ) herbicide ( Finale )

Nufarm Cheetah Pro contains a powerful new active ingredient for quickly controlling grass and broadleaf weeds. It kills weeds by contact, leaves relatively little residue in the soil, and uses glufosinate‑ammonium. This makes it appropriate for use in removing existing weeds and breaking up soil before planting turf, flowers or vegetables.

How It Works

The active ingredient in Cheetah Pro is glufosinate‑ammonium. It halts a critical enzyme in weeds and within a few days leaves and shoots dry up and die. Since it works on leaves and does not move into the soil, it does not control the weeds that germinate later.

When sprayed, Cheetah Pro is soaked into the green tissue of the plant. Once it gets inside, it disrupts the plant’s regular production of a critical amino acid called glutamine. Without glutamine, plant cells cannot detoxify ammonia, which accumulates rapidly.

This accumulation ruptures cell membranes, turning leaves brown quickly and causing tissue death. Between 48 and 72 hours, the desiccation becomes visible on the treated weeds, and by day four or five, most treated weeds are completely dead.

Main Benefits

Cheetah Pro offers several practical advantages:

• Fast Knockdown: It works fast, with visible effects in 2–4 days.
• Broad‑Spectrum Control: It kills 190 types of grass and broadleaf weeds and even controls some glyphosate‑resistant weeds.
• Low Soil Residue: It has low residual activity in soil, which means it is possible to replant soon after use.
• Clean Edges: Because it does not move much within plants, applications stay where they are sprayed, protecting nearby desirable plants.
• Resistance Management: Rotating with other herbicides is a unique mode of action that helps manage resistance in weed populations.
• Tank‑Mix Friendly: It can be mixed with residual products for enhanced control or with other herbicides where allowed.

How to Use

Proper mixing and coverage ensure the best results.

• Application Methods: It can be mixed with residual products for enhanced control or with other herbicides where allowed.
• Mixing Rates: Normal use rates range from 0.5 to 2.0 fl oz of product per gallon of water for applications of 500 to 1,000 sq ft per gallon of spray.
• Timing: Spray when weeds are actively growing and not stressed by drought or frost.
• Coverage: Drench all green portions of the weed for effective control.

Recommended Use Sites

Cheetah Pro fits many different situations:

• Turf and Landscape Beds: Before land seeding, for the removal of weeds or for precision edge trimming along walks and flower beds.
• Greenhouses and Nurseries: For the elimination of unwanted vegetation without damage to seedling crops in the soil.
• Industrial Areas and Rights‑of‑Way: To maintain clear ground along fences, roadsides, and buildings.
• Farm Support Areas: For weed control in equipment yards, farm lanes and storage areas before planting.

Managing Resistance

Incorporating Cheetah Pro into an overall weed‑control strategy may aid in managing resistance:

1. Rotate Cheetah Pro (Group 10) and another mode of action by season.
2. Mix with compatible herbicides of an alternative mode of action to control resistant weeds.
3. Include practices such as mowing, covering crops, or using competitive plantings to reduce weed seed banks.

Safety and Environmental Notes

Users should use the product according to the product label instructions to protect themselves and the environment:

• Use gloves, long sleeves and eye protection when applying and spraying.
• If skin or eye contact, rinse with soap and water and remove contaminated clothing.
• Do not spray on windy days and avoid getting the spray on non‑target plants.
• Do not dump in water sources. Minimal soil activity lowers the risk of leaching when used correctly.

Conclusion

Nufarm Cheetah Pro is a rapid and reliable weed control with low soil residues. Its contact action and no-mix formula make it great for turf managers, gardeners, residential builders, and industrial maintenance personnel.

With safe handling and use, and as one of several tools that bring weeds under control, users can address their most challenging and resistant weeds and preserve planting dates.
