The Benefits of Granular Pre-Emergent Herbicides
Applying a granular pre-emergent herbicide before seasonal weed germination can help:
- Prevent weeds before they appear
- Reduce the need for post-emergent herbicide applications
- Improve lawn appearance
- Reduce competition for nutrients and moisture
- Maintain thicker, healthier turf
The dust-free granules are easy to spread using a fertiliser spreader, making application quick and consistent.
Added Silicon for Stronger Turf
Unlike many pre-emergent herbicides, Onset 10GR is carried on granules containing plant-available silicon.
Silicon has been associated with improved turf resilience, stronger cell walls, better wear tolerance and enhanced tolerance to environmental stress as part of an overall turf management program.
Application
For the best results:
- Apply before target weeds germinate.
- Spread evenly using a calibrated granular spreader.
- Activate the product with at least 6mm of rainfall or irrigation within 7 days of application.
- Do not apply to newly established or stressed turf.
Always read and follow the APVMA-approved label before use.
