JEWEL WEED & MOSSKILLER 1.5KGS

Jewel is the first weed and mosskiller on the market. Two powerful herbicides combine to make this product unique. Jewel has a post emergence contact activity with Carfentrazone-ethyl and a systemic activity with Mecoprop-P. It can be used on all turf grass species.

CARFENTRAZONE
This active ingredient is a selective broadleaf herbicide yet unlike many other broadleaf herbicides it is not a phenoxy, rather, it is in the triazolinone herbicide family. In addition it has activity against moss.

Symptoms occur on weed plants a few days after application as brown-necrotic spots. These rapidly run into one another during the following days, leading to a total necrotisation and the die away of the weed plants.

On exposure to carfentrazone-ethyl the moss species turn a distinct off-white colour due to the loss of chlorophyll. Effects are usually visible within 14 days after
application, dependent on weather conditions.

MECOPROP-P
This active ingredient is a selective systemic hormone type herbicide which controls broad leaved weeds in turf. It is absorbed by plant leaves and translocated to the roots giving a complete kill. After application the growth of the weeds is disturbed, resulting in an early dying off.

APPLICATION
Jewel can be used from March to September as per the label but would recommend using in spring and autumn when weeds or moss are growing strongly. Successful applications in early spring will be dependent on good air and soil temperatures (min. 10-12°C) which create
good growing conditions.

Scotts research has shown that optimum results are achieved with moss control when Jewel is applied in April or May. Jewel must be agitated thoroughly.

WEED CONTROL

Moderately susceptible: Creeping Buttercup, Daisy, Speedwell spp, Birdsfoot Trefoil.
