Microwipe Tee Head Weedwiper

The weedwiper is a targeted weed control applicator eliminating the risk of drift and non-target contamination.

Specifically developed for the selective application of systemic herbicides the Microwipe (weedwipe) is designed to be used with herbicides containing glyphosate e.g. Roundup.

Using a Microwipe means that weed killer is only applied to those plants that the wicking rope comes into contact with. Moving the Microwipe over the leaves of weeds allows a small dose of herbicide to be transferred to the target weed, leaving surrounding plants untouched

The microwipe weed wipe is a great alternative to spot treating weeds and grasses. Flexible enough to be used in many differing commercial and domestic situations it is often found the in the following places where weed control is needed: – Gardens, allotments, along path edges, fence lines, around shrub beds and tree plantings, in row crops, vineyards, golf courses and cemeteries. Effects from this form of weed control will generally be seen in 7 – 14 days.
