Scotts Hammer 5L

Active Ingredients: 240g/l Glyphosate and 0.67g/l Pyraflufen-ethyl as a Suspo-emulsion.

Scotts Hammer is a rapid action total herbicide containing a brand new active ingredient combination of Pyraflufen-ethyl and Glyphosate which kills most annual and perennial broad-leaved and grass weeds when used as directed.

The unique combination of Pyraflufen-ethyl and Glyphosate was developed by scientists at Scotts Research & Development in France and the UK, and trialled over the course of two years at the company's Levington Research Station near Ipswich and on areas of non-cultivated and industrial land.

Pyraflufen-ethyl acts rapidly causing the visible signs of destruction of the aerial part of the plant within 24 hours by inhibiting the enzymes that drive photosynthesis, while the systemic action of Glyphosate, completes the total kill.

Scotts Hammer effectively controls a broad spectrum of annual and perennial weeds, including the tough brush weeds bramble and bracken.
