Bow & Arrow Herbicide

Professional Broadleaf Weed Control for Turf  Trusted by Turf Managers & Homeowners Alike

Bow & Arrow Herbicide is one of Australia’s most reliable solutions for controlling broadleaf weeds in turf. Used by turf professionals, local councils, and sports field managers, it provides powerful, long-lasting control with outstanding turf safety making it just as effective for home lawns.

Formulated with three active ingredients  MCPA, Clopyralid, and Diflufenican  Bow & Arrow works systemically, targeting weeds from within while protecting your lawn from harsh chemical damage. This slow-acting formula ensures weeds are controlled thoroughly with minimal regrowth or desiccation.

✅ Key Benefits

• Controls major broadleaf weeds including Bindii, Clover, Capeweed, Cat’s Ear, Cudweed, Plantain, and Creeping Oxalis
• Safe for use on Couch, Kikuyu, Buffalo, Carpet Grass, Queensland Blue Couch, and more
• Low-odour, non-ester formulation reduced risk of off-target damage
• Triple-active formula supports resistance management
• Schedule 5 classification  safer than Schedule 6 herbicides
• No surfactant needed for most weeds
• Low use rate: 5L per hectare in 200–500L of water

🌱 Why We Recommend Bow & Arrow

Unlike fast-acting herbicides that burn the plant surface and risk weed regrowth, Bow & Arrow works gradually and systemically, killing the entire weed  including the root system. This results in more effective, long-term control with excellent turf safety.
