Falcon Selective Weed Killer 5L
- Selective herbicide for controlling aggressive and invasive grasses (monocotyledons) around trees and hedges.
- Can be used safely on trees and hedges as an overall or spot-on treatment.
- Falcon is a contact herbicide; therefore, it will only ever kill the grass it touches.
Full Description
As grass weeds can be very invasive and reduce the growth in trees, particularly around new plantations and hedge rows, it is imperative that there is an effective solution.
Falcon is a selective herbicide for the control of monocotyledons (grasses) in a range of broadleaved crops, including trees and forestry. This product can be used through a knapsack or a boom sprayer and is safe for use on trees and hedges as an overall or spot treatment. As a contact herbicide, Falcon weed killer will only kill the grass it touches. If you require a longer-lasting product, look at Gem Granules.

Our Recommendation
- Use the higher dose on larger perennial grasses or when treating in cooler conditions.
- Save money and time, and mix in with Blue Dye to ensure no areas are missed or re-applied.
- Falcon & Shogun are alternative brands but the same product.
- Always wear protective clothing, such as Chemical Resistant Gloves, when handling Falcon.
- Weeds must be emerged at the time of application. To reduce the risk of any resistance Falcon application should be made to young, actively growing weeds.
