Lock Down™ EC Herbicide is a fast-acting, highly effective solution designed for the management of unwanted vegetation in non-crop areas and conifer reforestation sites. Leveraging the active ingredient Flumioxazin, it offers residual control over more than 100 types of annual grasses and broadleaf plants, making it an essential herbicide for industrial vegetation management. The product ensures bare-ground maintenance, preventing unwanted vegetation from compromising operational efficiency or safety.

With its versatile applications, Lock Down EC is ideal for controlling glyphosate-resistant plants and is particularly suited for use around guardrails, railroad beds, parking areas, roadside zones, and industrial storage sites. Its pre-emergence and post-emergence properties ensure comprehensive vegetation control tailored to specific management needs.

Key Composition

Active Ingredient:

Flumioxazin:

A potent herbicidal agent that works by disrupting photosynthesis, leading to the elimination of unwanted plants.

Broad-spectrum efficacy ensures control over a diverse range of unwanted vegetation, including hard-to-manage species resistant to glyphosate.

Formulation:

Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC):

The liquid formulation ensures easy dilution, seamless application, and strong adhesion to plant surfaces for effective results.

Expanded Target Plants

Lock Down™ EC Herbicide effectively manages a wide array of vegetation, including:

Broadleaf Plants:

Kochia, lambsquarters, chickweed, spurge, ragweed, pigweed, thistle, and others.

Includes several broadleaf species that are resistant to traditional herbicides like glyphosate.

Annual Grasses:

Tackles various grass species such as foxtail, crabgrass, and other persistent undesirable growth.

Herbicide Resistance Management:

Provides excellent control of glyphosate-resistant broadleaf plants, ensuring effectiveness even in areas with herbicide resistance issues.

Application Guidelines

Dilution Instructions:

Dilute the concentrate according to the manufacturer's recommendations. A typical dilution rate is 1:19, where 1 part of Lock Down™ EC is mixed with 19 parts of water for optimal coverage.

Always mix thoroughly for a uniform spray solution.

Method of Application:

Use a sprayer to apply the diluted solution. Focus on areas where unwanted vegetation is prevalent or likely to grow, including bare-ground zones, industrial sites, and roadside areas.

Ensure complete and thorough coverage for maximum vegetation control.

Timing:

Pre-Emergence Application:

Apply before unwanted vegetation germinates for long-lasting residual control. This is particularly effective during the spring cleanup period.

Post-Emergence Application:

Use as a tank mix partner with other herbicides for enhanced knockdown of existing unwanted plants.

Reapplication Frequency:

Reapply as needed, adhering to the recommended intervals to maintain clear, vegetation-free areas.

Benefits of Lock Down™ EC Herbicide

Residual Action:

Offers extended control over unwanted vegetation growth, reducing the need for frequent reapplications.

Fast-Acting Performance:

Quickly eliminates existing unwanted vegetation, providing immediate relief and a clean environment.

Versatile Use:

Can be used as both a pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicide, making it adaptable to various vegetation control strategies.

Broad-Spectrum Efficacy:

Targets over 100 species of broadleaf plants and annual grasses, ensuring comprehensive control.

Operational Efficiency:

Ideal for industrial sites, roadsides, and other non-crop areas where vegetation management is critical to safety and efficiency.

Sustainability:

Effectively manages herbicide-resistant plants, supporting sustainable vegetation management practices.

Best Practices for Application

Prepare the Area:

Remove debris and obstacles to ensure the solution reaches the target vegetation effectively.

Optimize Coverage:

Use high-quality sprayers for even distribution across target areas, avoiding overlaps or gaps.

Spring Cleanup:

Apply during early spring as part of routine site management to prevent vegetation germination and growth.

Tank Mixing:

Combine with other herbicides when tackling post-emergence vegetation for a stronger knockdown effect.

Seasonal Maintenance:

Schedule periodic applications to maintain long-term vegetation control and prevent the resurgence of undesirable growth.

Safety and Precautions

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Wear gloves, masks, goggles, and protective clothing while handling and applying the herbicide.

Avoid Drift:

Ensure applications are made in calm weather conditions to prevent herbicide drift to non-target areas.

Storage:

Store the herbicide in a cool, dry place away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.

Environmental Protection:

Follow local regulations and guidelines for safe disposal of unused solutions and empty containers.

Avoid application near water bodies, as the product may pose risks to aquatic life.

Applications in Non-Crop Areas

Lock Down™ EC Herbicide is highly effective for:

Industrial Sites:

Keeps facilities free from vegetation that may interfere with operations or equipment.

Roadside Management:

Maintains clear roadsides, ensuring visibility and safety for motorists.

Railroad Beds and Guardrails:

Prevents vegetation from encroaching on tracks and infrastructure.

Conifer Reforestation Sites:

Ensures young trees have reduced competition for resources like sunlight and nutrients.
