To clarify the insecurities of people about these weeds and grass killers, I bring this guide on Eliminator weed and grass killer reviews. All of the knowledge shared in this guide is consumer experience based that is gathered from the forums and shopping sites.

Let’s get started with the basic knowledge that what is actually Eliminator weed and grass killer and which acting material does it have.

Eliminator weed and grass killer

Eliminator weed and grass killer is a post-emergent herbicide that is originally a chemical control for weeds and grass. It has glyphosate as the active ingredient with a concentration of 41%. This much concentrated chemical formula speedily kills the large area of weeds in no time. 

It actually kills the weeds and grass completely from the top to down. The best results are found if it is applied on a sunny and warm day. 

The mode of action of this weed killer has uniqueness such that it translocates through the plants from the upper side and inhibits the enzymatic activity in plants. The inhibition of the enzymatic activity leads to the death of weeds and grass. 

The only care to be taken while using glyphosate in your yard or gardens is that its effects remain in the soil for a longer time. So, make sure to observe the amount and spray to the right plants as it does not leach into the soil and affects the nearby plants badly.

Diquat dibromide in Eliminator 

Diquat dibromide is a nonselective, quick-acting herbicide that disturbs the plant’s activities by causing injuries to which it is applied. It is actually referred to as the desiccant that causes the dryness of the whole plant quickly.

It does not have a common use. It is actually used for industrial and aquatic weed control. In some cases, it is also used for desiccating the potato vines and seed crops to control the sugarcane flowering.

Roundup Vs Eliminator

A lot of differences and similarities are present among the Roundup and Eliminator. Some major similarities and differences are:

Care of using Eliminator (Glyphosate)

These are some caring tips to follow while using glyphosate in the lawn or garden. These are:

• Glyphosate should never be applied through the metal sprayer and mixed with high pH water as both these factors degrade its effectiveness.
• Eliminator gives great results if it has a surfactant and some nitrogen while making spray mixture. 
• To get more stickiness, detergent is mixed in the solution to give the active ingredient more time to stay on the leaf.
• The best way of application is in light mist mode and wetting the leaves of weeds completely.

Mode of action of Eliminator

Eliminator has the unique mode of action to kill the weeds and grass. Besides killing the grass immediately, its active ingredient enters the plant’s body and damages the enzyme activity.

Eliminator mode of action is as:

• The active ingredient sticks to the leaf surface that kills the plants gradually and quickly.
• It sticks to the plant leaves so adding the detergent improves stickiness and enhances the efficiency.
• It takes 1-3 days to kill plants but it kills completely.
• Extreme effective results found when applying on the day after the rain.
• After the rainy day, the leaves are clear so influence positively the entry of active ingredients.
• The best time to apply Eliminator is spring season as the summer application is not much effective.
