PISTOL has foliar absorbed translocated activity, combined with soil acting properties, providing pre-emergence weed control.

The product is applied post emergence to control a wide range of annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds and grasses on porous surfaces on land not intended to bear vegetation.

A knapsack fitted with a flat fan nozzle or similar, using a pressure of around 1-2 bar is recommended. Good and even coverage of foliage and soil is essential for optimum activity. For larger areas, hydraulic sprayers can be used to apply this product.

 

Application Timing

Apply PISTOL post-emergence of weeds at any time from March until the end of September, provided that the weeds are actively growing. Annual broad-leaved weeds should have at least two fully exposed leaves, and annual grasses should be at the one leaf growth stage or beyond. Some perennial weeds, including Docks, Perennial Sow Thistle and Willowherb are best treated just before flowering or the setting of seed.

 

 How does Pistol work?

Glyphosate circulates throughout the entire plant causing rapid knockdown and kill.

Diflufenican adheres to surface to form barrier preventing germination.
