The new All-Action herbicide for landscape professionals
Chikara offers the long-term answer to those difficult weed control situations. It is a broad spectrum long lasting residual herbicide giving control of broad leaved and grass weed flushes for up to 5 months. Its versatility is increased by the fact that it can be tank mixed with approved formulations of glyphosate to control established weeds.
Absorbed by the roots and shoots of germinating weeds, Chikara is translocated systemically throughout the plant where they may then be killed before they emerge through the soil surface or will emerge and die shortly thereafter.

Chikara offers landscape contractors and local authorities a positive way of reducing cost whilst maintaining effective total weed control. A single 150 g pack will treat 10,000 sq. m (1ha). Due to the highly active formulation, Chikara delivers a low application rate and low level of active ingredient whilst providing excellent efficacy. This makes the product both cost-effective in the amount used as well as minimizing pack disposal cost.
Chikara use is restricted to natural surfaces not intended to bear vegetation and permeable surfaces overlying soil. It cannot be used on non-porous, man made surfaces, e.g. paved areas, concrete, tarmac etc and care should be taken not to spray too close to or drift onto desirable shrubs or trees.
For landscapers, Chikara combines very effective and long term weed control with operator safety and presents a negligible risk to birds, mammals, fish and bees.
