Title: Glyphosphate vs Pampas Grass
Post by: silly billy on June 20, 2007, 16:10:45
I spray the perimeter of my plot with glyphosphate using a pressure sprayer.If I used it on my large pampas grass would it work?

Doubt it!  I guess you would require something like SBK (from Vitax)

Does pampas grass have a natural coating on the leaves to prevent water evaporating?  If so, since the glyphosate is absorbed through the leaves, it might not work.  Try it and see?

SBK only works on dicots, not on monocots.  If you can bear to have the ground vacant for two or three months afterwards use Ammonium Sulphamate.
