Matratec - 2.5 Gallons

Matratec is a fast, non-selective burn down herbicide, killing young weeds in 24-72 hours. Trials have demonstrated its effectiveness against a broad spectrum of weeds such as chickweed, foxtail, crabgrass, lambsquarters, pigweed, Johnson grass, purslane, wild oats, and others. The active ingredient in Matratec is clove oil; other ingredients are wintergreen oil and lecithin. It affects only those parts of the plant that are coated.

Use 1-8 gal in 25-100 gal of water/acre. Using ThermX70 yucca extract at .03 fl oz/gal and Citric Acid at 5 lbs/acre greatly improves coverage and impact. If weeds are larger, multiple applications may be necessary.

NOP approved and OMRI listed.

Why Restrictions? All products labeled as pesticides, whether the product is natural, organic or man-made, are regulated by each state. Restrictions for sale in a state occur because the manufacturer of the product chooses not to register that product there. If the product is not a pesticide, there may be other regulations that the vendor cannot easily meet having to do with labeling.

The reason for non-registration is usually economic: each state requires a fee that is paid annually, or the cost of re-labeling for just one or a few states is too high. For instance, each pesticide registered for sale in Arizona is assessed a $100 fee yearly for each size product.

If you would like this product in your state, let us know and we will communicate your interest to the manufacturer. If there is enough interest, the manufacturer may decide to register the product you want.

In the meantime, call us and we will help you find a similar product that we can substitute that is registered in your state.
