Product Info

This product is a fast-acting, non-selective broadleaf weed, grass, algae and moss killer. This product is not translocated. It will burn only those plant parts that are coated with spray solution. This product can be used any time during the year and works best during warm and dry conditions. Application during cold weather may delay appearance of plant damage. If rain falls within 3 hours of treatment, an additional spray may be required. This product controls many common annual weeds and suppresses the growth of biennial and perennial weeds. It can be used in cultivated areas prior to planting crops. Areas can be re-planted as soon as desirable level of weed control is obtained.

Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Mode Of Action

FireWorxx kills weeds by disruption of the cell wall membranes and removing protective waxes covering the leaf tissue which results in leaf and stem collapse and dehydration

Use Sites

Nurseries, and greenhouses including ornamental, food and non-food crops. Structural and Building Applications: FireWorxx controls weeds, grass, moss and algae in and around buildings and structures such as benches, walls, floors, and roofs.

USE METHODS

  • Directed and Shielded Sprays
  • Harvest Aid and Dessication
  • Post-Harvest Spray
  • Pre-plant Application
  • Vegetative Burndown
Application

FireWorxx mixes well with water. Hard or high alkalinity water may bind up the soap formulation. Use of a buffering agent will correct this.

  • Apply at 35 to 400 gallons per acre covering all plant parts of the weed(s).
  • Activity is enhanced when applied during sunny or warm conditions.
  • Perennial weeds will require the higher rate of 9% and or multiple applications for optimum control.
Uses On Crops
  • Bedding plants, flowering plants and foliage
  • Bulb, cole and leafy vegetables
  • Citrus, pome and stone fruits
  • Cucurbit vegetables
  • Herbs and spices
  • Legumes and fruiting vegetables
  • Nuts
  • Root and tuber vegetables
  • Small fruits and vegetables
  • Trees and shrubs
Application Rates

Foilar rates

  • 3% by volume: For young or newly germinated weeds less than 5 inches tall, moss and algae. Mix 3 gallons per 100 gallons of water or 4 fl. oz. per gallon water.
  • 6% by volume: For weeds larger than 5 inches, soft growth perennials and grasses. Mix 6 gallons per 100 gallons of water or 8 fl. oz. per gallon water.
  • 9% by volume: For tough to kill weeds, vines, brush and sucker control. Mix 9 gallons per 100 gallons water or 12 fl. oz. per gallon water.
Tank Mixing

Tank mixing with other herbicides: use 1% rate to improve efficacy of other herbicides including glyphosate,glufosinate, cyclohexanedione, sulfonylurea and imidazolinone; can be used to improve control of  glyphosate resistant weeds.

Directions For Use

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a manner that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected workers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. Read and follow all applicable directions and precautions on this label before using.

Agricultural Use Requirements

Use this product in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides.

It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), restricted-entry interval, and notification to workers. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard (WPS).

Entry-Restrictions: Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval of 24 hours.

PPE required for early-entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, wear: coveralls worn over shortsleeved shirts and short pants, socks, chemical resistant footwear, chemical-resistant gloves and protective eyewear.

Non-Agricultural Use Requirements

The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses. Keep unprotected persons out of treated areas until sprays have dried. For early reentry to treated areas and that involves contact with anything that has been treated such as plants, soil, or water, wear: coveralls, shoes, socks, and chemical-resistant gloves.

Application Directions

Shake well before using. 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 ft2 (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. Any standard sprayer can be used, including machine and backpack. Do not apply this product by aerial application. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Spray weed 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 plant to the point of runoff. Plant damage will be visible from a few hours to 2 days after spraying. Repeat treatment as needed to control new weeds growing from seed and regrowth from biennial and perennial weeds. Avoid spraying desirable plants. Thoroughly wash equipment after use.
