Targeted spraying only. No watering, selective lawn treatment or algae-control claim.
Dry weeds
Shake before use; treat dry weeds at a minimum of 10 °C.
Check quantities carefully
Product volume, water volume and final spray volume are different. Manufacturer, pack and official records differ, so confirm the applicable instructions before mixing; there is no universal per-litre dilution here.
No lasting control
Regrowth is possible. Check the permitted number and interval against the applicable instructions before repeating treatment.
After growth begins
The target area must match the individual authorised use.
Contact rather than lasting control
Acts on wetted plant parts; no guarantee against regrowth.
Application & rates
Three spray uses: official source data and unresolved differences

These three official spray-use records are presented as source data. Lawn watering use /00-010 is excluded because it conflicts with the manufacturer and pack instructions. Version-dependent differences remain in rates and repeat treatments; resolve them against the supplied pack before use.

Frequently asked questions
Is this for selective lawn weed control?
No. This product is not a selective lawn herbicide. The conflicting lawn-watering use is not recommended here.
Can I treat paved paths?
Not without the required official exemption. The authorised entry for paths and areas with woody plants does not remove the restrictions on such surfaces.
Can I spray the ornamental plants too?
No. Target unwanted plants only; use a spray shield and protect cultivated plants from wetting.
Does it prevent weeds from returning permanently?
No. It does not provide lasting control (WW730); regrowth is possible.
Does one dilution apply to every area?
No. Product quantity, water quantity, target area and method must match. Existing manufacturer/pack instructions differ over water versus final volume; clarify the applicable instructions before mixing.
Is algae treatment authorised here?
No. Algae are not listed as a target in the four current BVL non-professional use records collected here.
