Product Overview

Nufarm Polaris controls Japanese bamboo and cattails as well as most other tough aquatic, brushy weeds. It can be used in riparian zones, wetlands, estuaries, roadside and utility rights-of-way, wildlife openings,and other non-cropland areas. The long-lasting formula provided by Nufarm Polaris helps to reduce the need for re-treating, and the low usage rate means less product to apply and handle. As with all of Nufarm's products, Polaris offers the quality performance you expect.

    Good easy to use product

    By Tl on 04/06/2016

    Results are determined by the mix rate. using 1.5oz min per gallon has given me predicable results. Does not have an issue with ground leaching like some products, will purchase again.

    Nufarm Polaris

    By Dave on 01/22/2015

    Verified Purchase

    Excellent nonselective soil applied and postemergent herbicide. When used with Diuron covers a very broad spectrum of weeds and light brush. I would have preferred the 40% solution for more cost effective carry in vehicle, however price was reasonable for this 20% formulation.

    ADD MSM FOR TOTAL KILL

    By Terry on 08/08/2019

    Am buying Polaris locally, just found it on Do My Own.. There is a inexpensive product called MSM. It is a soluble powder. Comes with its own measuring cup. Add MSM to Polaris. It will kill all woody weeds, even Privet. ALWAYS ADD SOMEHTING LIKE DAWN ULTRA TO ANY SPRAY FOR BETTER COVERAGE. 10 to 12-oz per 100 gals (1/2teaspoon per gal)

    Effective against watershield

    By Jonathan on 05/07/2023

    So far so good treating watershield in a small 1.5acre pond. The vegetation would just take over into the summer. This was said to be highly effective and it has been. Visible difference after one week.

    Not worth the price

    By Richard on 06/10/2015

    Verified Purchase

    Purchased Polaris herbicide to spray Privet. Instructions say a 1% solution will kill the plant. I raised the concentration to 2% and had very little success. Basically only works on young plants. It killed a lot of grass that was not a target pest. Will have to resort to mechanical means to remove the invasive species. Way too expensive for so few results.

Q
Is Nufarm Polaris Herbicide generic for Roundup?
A

No, Nufarm Polaris Herbicide contains a totally different active ingredient (imazapyr) than Roundup (glyphosate).  A good generic option for Roundup would be something like the GlyPhoSel Pro.
