Roundup ProVantage 480 (5L)
Roundup ProVantage is a herbicide which is sprayed on to green leaves where it is absorbed and drawn into the plant’s vascular system. It then stops the production of the amino acids which build the protein the plant needs to grow and survive.
Roundup ProVantage is a patented potassium salt formulation containing 480g/L glyphosate and a unique blend of two surfactants. The blend of surfactants has been optimised to deliver at a highly efficient activity rate at the surface of the leaf and a synergistic improvement in glyphosate uptake and overall performance. High technical specification formula used in Roundup ProVantage has been designed to address stewardship aspects which are vital now for glyphosate application.
Active Ingredient: 480g/L Glyphosate
Pack Size: 5L
Pack Coverage: 14,000m²
Optimal Time for Application: March – October
Knapsack Sprayer Rate: 12 – 37ml per Litre of water (to cover 50m²)
Boom Sprayer Rate: up to 2.25 – 7.5L/Hectare

- Supports the environmental need to reduce packaging waste
- Less product to transpose
Superior performance in challenging conditions
- Improved reliability in hot and dry or cool and dry conditions*
- Helps make the most of weather windows
Clean Label
- Non hazardous as classified by COSHH
- Does not carry a hazard symbol for transport and storage
- Approved for use in aquatic areas
Low drift formulation
- Reduces the risk of bystander exposure
- Reduces the risk of damage to neighbouring plantings
- Reduces the risk of direct contamination of surface water
Improved hard water efficacy
- No need for additional water conditioners
- Cost efficient
Improved rainfastness and speed of uptake
- Rainfast in 1 hour for annuals and 4 hours for perennials
- Reduces risk of run off
- Ensures a maximum amount of glyphosate reaches the roots
Application Rates of Roundup ProVantage 5L
| Rates per hectare | Dilution for 200l/ha water volume | Weeds controlled |
|---|---|---|
| 2.25 Litres | 1:87 or 12ml per litre of water | Annual grasses, annual broad-leaved weeds |
| 3.0 Litres | 1:67 or 15ml per litre of water | Arable weeds pre-planting of trees |
| 3.75 Litres | 1:53 or 19ml per litre of water | Most perennial weeds |
| 4.5 Litres | 1:44 or 23ml per litre of water | Floating aquatic weeds |
| 7.5 Litres | 1:27 or 37ml per litre of water | Rhododendron, Ivy Horsetail and difficult waxy-leaved plants |
Timing needs to be flexible depending on the weather conditions. The first spray should be done when the weeds have emerged and are actively growing and this will vary each year according to weather conditions.
Key Features:
- Rain fast in one hour on annual and four hours on perennial weeds
- Contains 480 g/L glyphosate, works by blocking the plant’s enzyme system*
- Older surfactants are being superseded by cleaner, more efficient surfactant blends such as those used in Roundup Pro Vantage
- The High amount of glyphosate increases the area covered per bottle leading to less transportation and less waste
- Low drift formulation
- Improved efficiency in hard water
- Non-hazardous as classified by COSHH
- Glyphosate biodegrades in soil
- Approved for use in aquatic areas
- Roundup ProVantage can be used for control of Japanese Knotweed
- Approved for control of Japanese Knotweed via foliar application, stem filling, stem injection or by hand-held weed wiper
* The enzymes present in plants do not occur in humans, animals, birds or fish. Hence, Roundup ProVantage is safe to everything except green plants.
