Glyphosate products such as Ranger Pro do not have any effect on moss or algae. Lilly Miller Moss Out For Lawns Concentrate would be a better option.
Roundup Quickpro would have a faster burndown than the Ranger Pro due to having a higher percentage of glyphosate and the added diquat.
Ranger Pro Herbicide is safe if used as directed. Only the applicator should be present during the treatment and then leave. All others including children and pets should return when treated areas are completely dry. We do offer chemical resistant gloves, mask, goggles, coveralls in our Basic Safety Kit for the applicator.
Ranger Pro is a nonselective herbicide, so it will kill just about anything it is applied to, including grass and weeds.
Ranger Pro is labeled to eradicate poison ivy. You will mix 2 2/3 fluid ounces per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.
Per the product label: Ranger Pro Herbicide may be tank-mixed with other herbicides to provide residual weed control, a broader weed control spectrum or an alternate mode of action. Always read and follow label directions for all products in the tank mixture. Use according to the most restrictive precautionary statements for each product in the mixture. Any labeled rate of this product may be used in a tank mix. When this label describes a tank mixture with a generic active ingredient such as diuron, 2,4-D or dicamba, the user is responsible for ensuring the mixture product label allows the specific application.
Per refer to the product label for complete instructions.
Ranger Pro Herbicide will not harm mature trees when applied around the base of a tree. Just be sure to avoid drift/over spray from contacting foliage.
Ranger Pro Herbicide can be applied and then a couple weeks later re-seed those areas.
You should start seeing results within 7-14 after applying Ranger Pro Herbicide. You can reapply after 2 weeks if necessary.
Ranger Pro Herbicide should be used within 24 hours after mixing with water.
Areas that have been treated with Ranger Pro Herbicide are typically dry within a few hours. We would recommend waiting at least 4 hours before allowing children or pets to return to the area.
While Ranger Pro is a non-selective herbicide that will kill any plants treated with it, glyphosate usually will not completely kill the underground nutlets of nutsedge. Our most popular herbicides for nutsedge that will kill the plants more effectively are Sedgehammer and Dismiss Turf Herbicide.
You can paint Ranger Pro on the stump at full strength. It would also be advisable to drill into the stump or make cuts so that the stump will take up the product better. Please see the Label for complete application instructions.
Ranger Pro moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the root system. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and yellowing of the plant which advances to complete browning of above-ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts. Effects are visible on most annual weeds within 2 to 4 days, but on most perennial weeds may not occur for 7 days or more. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity of this product and delay development of visual symptoms. It may take 14-21 days for larger, thougher, or more mature plants to die completely.
Annual weeds are easiest to control when they are small. Best control of most perennial weeds is obtained when treatment is made at late growth stages approaching maturity. See the “WEEDS CONTROLLED” sections of this label for specific weed rates.
Always use the higher product application rate in the range when weed growth is heavy or dense, or when weeds are growing in an undisturbed (non-cultivated) area. Reduced weed control may result from treating weeds with disease or insect damage, weeds heavily covered with dust, or weeds under poor growing conditions.
