Fireworxx is a fast-acting, post-emergent herbicide. It offers a quick burndown of broadleaf weeds, grasses, algae and mosses. This organic herbicidal soap is made up of a fatty acid blend of caprylic and capric fatty acids that works by disrupting plant cell walls and removing the waxy protective covering on the leaf tissues. Dehydration, leaf and stem collapse and death will quickly follow. Fireworxx is non-selective and is not translocated, it will only burn those parts of the plant that come in contact with the spray solution. Care should be taken to avoid contact with desired plants.
Although Fireworxx can be used at any time of the year, it works best in warm and dry weather. Applying during cold weather may delay the appearance of plant damage. Fireworxx can be applied to cultivated area prior to planting crops and areas can be re-planted as soon as desired weed control is achieved.

Fireworrx can be applied using the following methods:
- Vegetation Burndown: General control of weeds, grass, algae and moss for site preparation and non-crop areas. Spot treatments may be used in crop and pasture situations. Applications may be made in and around desirable plants when contact with foliage and green bark is avoided.
- Directed and Shielded Sprays: Applications may be made around desirable plants when contact with foliage and green bark is avoided.
- Pre-Plant Applications: Prior to Emergence of Plants from Seed, Perennial Rootstocks, and Bulbs, Tubers, etc. Ensure applications are made before new growth or crop emerges from soil or damage will occur.
- Post-Harvest Sprays (annual crops): To control weeds, grass, moss and algae growing in fields after the commodity has been harvested.
- Sucker Control, Pruning and Trimming: To burn back and control epicormic shoots, sucker growth, and other unwanted growth on woody trees, foliage growth on vines, excessive cane growth in brambles, or other listed use sites. Apply only to unwanted vegetative parts. Apply before suckers become woody.
- Harvest Aid and Desiccation: To remove leaves of plants prior to harvest and/or burndown of weeds to facilitate harvest. Harvest aid and desiccation use include applications to root and tuber vegetables, bulb vegetables, seed crops and cotton. Applications must be made at least 24 hours prior to harvest to ensure full burndown.
- Structural and Building Applications: To control weeds, grass, moss and algae in and around buildings and structures such as benches, walls, floors and roofs.
Application Instructions:
Can be applied using any standard sprayer, including machine and backpack. Shake well and dilute with water using the chart below as a guide.
- Use the 3% solution for small, easy-to-kill weeds, less than 5 inches tall, and for moss and algae.
- Use the 3-6% solution for larger perennial weeds and grasses.
- Use the 5-9% solution for tough-to-kill weeds, vines, brush and sucker control.
Apply the mixed solution at 0.69-9.2 gallons/1,000 sq ft (35-400 gallons per acre). In situations where weed pressure is high and/or weeds are larger than 5 inches, higher volumes are advised for acceptable control.
- DO NOT apply this product by aerial application.
- DO NOT apply through any kind of irrigation system.
- DO NOT allow Fireworxx tank mix to remain longer than 24 hours.
- Spray weeds thoroughly, using a coarse nozzle setting to reduce drift. Thorough coverage is extremely important.
- For spot treatment of individual weeds, apply the mixed solution to the center of the plant to the point of runoff.
- Plant damage will be visible from a few hours to 2 days after spraying.
- If rain falls within 3 hours of treatment, an additional spray may be required.
- Repeat treatment as needed to control new weeds growing from seed and re-growth from biennial and perennial weeds.
- Avoid spraying on lawns or desirable plants.
Please see manufacturer's label under the DOCS tab for information on tank mixing with other herbicides.
