Westland Resolva Lawn Weed Killer Review

February 5, 2017 By Scott Harper Leave a Comment

westland-resolva-lawn-weedkillerResolva Lawn Weedkiller is a selective herbicide used to kill weeds without harming the surrounding grass. Westland Horticulture created in 1990 in Dungannon County Tyrone is the company that manufactures this herbicide.

Westland started off by producing compost, and over time they have grown into a leading horticulture company within the United Kingdom.

They supply a wide array of products including, plant food, lawn seeds, pest control, lawn treatments, fungicides, mulches, and of course, weed killers. This product is available in a 1L or 2L ready to use spray or as a concentrate.

Benefits

  • Kills weed without harming the lawn
  • Kills broad-leaved weeds from the roots
  • Ready to use with no need for mixing (except the concentrated model)
  • Affordable price

Working Mechanism

Lawn weed killers are different than general weed killers because of the active ingredient they use. Most weed killers such as Resolva Xtra Tough contain glyphosate. However, Resolva Lawn Weedkiller contains the active ingredients, Mecoprop-P, Dicamba and Potassium Hydroxide.

Mecoprop also called by its scientific name, (R)-2-(4-Chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionic acid potassium salt is biodegradable. On the other hand, Dicamba is not biodegradable, so parts of the weedkiller will degrade in the soil while other will accumulate on the surface.

The active ingredients mentioned above are categorised as ‘hormone’ weedkillers because they impersonate plant hormones. The have a systemic action on the foliage of a weed and translocates down into the roots. Eventually, the active ingredients alter the plant’s hormones resulting in twisted or distorted growth.

Resolva lawn weedkiller is apt for controlling broad-leaved weeds such as buttercup, clover, dandelions, and daisy.

How to Use

Avoid using a lawn weedkiller on newly-turfed or seeded lawns for at least half a year after installation.

The best time to use Resolva Lawn Weedkiller Extra is from mid spring to early fall. Hence, April to September is the best time to use this lawn herbicide. Avoid using during windy conditions because it can cause the spray to drift. Also, check with your local weather station to confirm that no rain will fall within a 24 hour period of applying the herbicide.

For best results, make sure that the weeds are actively growing and have enough leaf area.

Here are the instructions for usage:

If you buy the ready to use model then there is no need to mix anything, you can simply start spraying. However, if you choose the concentrate version then the instructions are listed below:

  1. Read the label and safety data sheet supplied with your purchase
  2. In a knapsack sprayer, pour 50 millilitres of Resolva concentrate and mix with 2.5 – 5 litres of water.
  3. Begin spraying on affected areas. A single batch of the mixture can treat up to 25 square kilometres.
  4. Wash equipment thoroughly after use.
  5. Do not mow the grass for a couple of days. The first four mowings of treated lawn need to be composted for half a year before using as a mulch.

Safety and Precautions

There are many safety measures you need to adhere to when handling this product. Firstly, use only in areas that are well-ventilated. Next, do not use this herbicide in aquatic environments as it can pose a health risk for marine animals. Moreover, avoid contamination of product with the drainage system and prevent run-off.

When disposing of empty containers, do so at a household waste facility or a civic amenity site.

Furthermore, do not let children or pets from entering the treated area until the spray is dry.

When using consider wearing proper protective gear such as eye goggles, face mask, overalls, boots, and gloves.
