Overview

Hytrol Rootkiller Concentrate 500ml is Hygeia's concentrated systemic weedkiller for controlling tough, deep-rooted weeds. Its 360g/L glyphosate formulation is absorbed through green foliage and translocated through susceptible plants, allowing it to control weeds down to their roots rather than simply damaging visible top growth.

Suitable for annual, biennial and perennial weeds, Hytrol Rootkiller targets unwanted vegetation including grasses, docks, nettles, willowherb, dandelions and bindweed. Hygeia identifies it for home and garden weed control, including unwanted vegetation around garden areas, paths and driveways where treatment is permitted by the product label.

The concentrated 500ml pack provides coverage of up to 833m², making it a high-performance option where a ready-to-use spray would be impractical.

Why We Love It

• Systemic action – absorbed through foliage and transported through susceptible weeds.

• Deep-rooted weed control – designed to tackle established troublesome vegetation.

• Broad weed spectrum – controls annual, biennial and perennial weeds.

• 360g/L glyphosate – concentrated formulation for dilution before application.

• Excellent pack performance – 500ml treats up to 833m².

• Compact concentrate – useful for larger areas without storing bulky ready-to-use packs.

Product Details

Active Substance

Glyphosate: 360g/L

Glyphosate is a systemic, non-selective herbicide. It is taken up through actively growing green foliage and translocated through susceptible plants, allowing treatment of both visible growth and the root system.

Because Hytrol Rootkiller is non-selective, it can also damage desirable vegetation contacted by the spray. Take particular care around lawns, flowers, shrubs, trees and other plants that you want to retain.

Target Weeds

Hytrol Rootkiller is designed for tough unwanted vegetation including:

• Grasses

• Docks

• Nettles

• Willowherb

• Dandelions

• Bindweed

• Other susceptible annual weeds

• Biennial weeds

• Deep-rooted perennial weeds

How to Use

Hytrol Rootkiller 500ml is a concentrate and must be diluted before application.

Apply to actively growing weeds with sufficient healthy green foliage to absorb the treatment. Thorough foliage coverage is important, but avoid excessive application and run-off.

Use a suitable clean garden sprayer reserved for herbicide application and direct the spray carefully onto the target vegetation.

Avoid contact with any plants you want to keep and do not apply when wind could cause spray drift.

Because this is a regulated plant-protection product, use only at the dilution, application rate, sites, timings and treatment frequency specified on the current authorised Irish product label.

Coverage

The current Hygeia specification gives the 500ml Hytrol Rootkiller pack coverage as up to 833m².

Actual product requirement will depend on the authorised application rate and the area being treated. Always measure concentrate and water accurately according to the current pack directions.

Perfect For

• Tough deep-rooted weeds

• Docks

• Nettles

• Dandelions

• Bindweed

• Willowherb

• Unwanted grasses

• Annual weeds

• Biennial weeds

• Perennial weeds

• Larger areas requiring concentrated systemic weed control

Good to Know

Hytrol Rootkiller is a total weedkiller rather than a selective lawn weedkiller. Do not spray lawn grass or other wanted vegetation.

This 500ml Rootkiller, code G60428, is the concentrated 360g/L glyphosate formulation and is distinct from Hytrol Ready-to-Use Weedkiller, Pump & Go and No Glyphosate products.

Glyphosate works through green plant tissue, so treatment should be directed at actively growing foliage rather than bare soil.

As with all plant-protection products, the current authorised Irish label takes precedence over general gardening guidance. Do not use on a site, crop or situation that is not permitted by that label.

Safety & Storage

Always read the label before use and use plant-protection products safely.

Keep out of reach of children and store securely in the original container.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes and wash hands and exposed skin after handling.

Prevent spray drift onto desirable plants and vegetation.

Do not contaminate water with the product or its container. Keep concentrate, diluted spray and equipment washings away from drains, surface water and other water sources as directed on the label.

Follow all current label requirements concerning protective equipment, application, people and pets, environmental precautions, storage and disposal.
