Katoun Gold is a non-selective, professional use, contact herbicide, containing 500g/L fatty acids: pelargonic acid.

Authorised for a maximum of four treatments per year. Its non-selective action will control broad leaved plants, moss and grass weeds.

Instructions for use

Where to use

For use on amenity vegetation (around), forest nursery, natural surfaces not intended to bear vegetation, ornamental plant production, permeable surfaces overlying soil including gravel pathways.

When to use

Treatment should be made whilst weeds are actively growing provided the ambient air temperature is more than 15°C. For best results application should be made in the morning when no rain is forecast.

How to use

Non-Selective Contact Herbicide

Katoun gold should be applied to small broad-leaf and grass weeds at an early stage of development. Thorough wetting of the leaf is vital for optimal results.

Apply, using a hydraulic sprayer or knapsack sprayer, choosing a nozzle type to give the stated water volume and a medium to coarse spray quality (BCPC definition). Use a spray pattern that enables good coverage of the larger weeds to be controlled. Optimum results will be achieved where weeds are small (less than 10cm tall). Katoun Gold is a contact herbicide, therefore, it is very important that all of the weed plant is treated; any areas of leaf shaded by for example other weeds, will not be affected by the treatment.

Length of weed control is dependant upon weed size and prevailing weather conditions. Perennial weeds may regrow as the product is contact acting only with no systemic or residual activity.

For the control of Horsetail tank-mix:

Katoun Gold - 1000ml

Glysophate (360g/L) - 230ml

Additional Information

Apply evenly, avoid overlapping or missing areas. Do not apply in hot, dry weather or frosty conditions. Half fill the applicator with clean water. Add concentrate as required and mix thoroughly whilst adding remaining water.

When using Katoun Gold amongst amenity plantings, forest nursery stock or hardy ornamental plan production, extreme care must be taken to avoid contact with or drift onto desirable plants such as grass, leaves of trees and shrubs or ornamentals.

Do NOT use on lawns or directly apply to desired vegetation. Ensure stems/trunks have hardened off before application. Care must be taken to avoid any contact with stems. The use of low drift nozzles and/or shrouded/hooded sprayers should be used to avoid any drift.
