How it Works:
RoundUp Custom Herbicide works by being applied to the foliage of actively growing weeds. Its active ingredient, glyphosate, is absorbed by the plants and penetrates their system, targeting and inhibiting the enzymes responsible for the synthesis of essential aromatic amino acids. This disruption in the growth process ultimately leads to the weed's death, without harming desired plants or aquatic and terrestrial environments. For improved coverage and control, it is recommended to use RoundUp Custom with a nonionic surfactant.
Step 1 Absorption: RoundUp Custom is applied to the foliage of actively growing weeds, where it is absorbed by the plant.
Step 2 Penetration: The herbicide's active ingredient, glyphosate, penetrates the plant's leaves and travels throughout its system, targeting the enzymes responsible for its growth.
Step 3 Enzyme Inhibition: Glyphosate inhibits the weed's enzymes involved in synthesizing tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine, three essential aromatic amino acids, ultimately disrupting the weed's growth process.
Step 4 Weed Death: As a result of the disrupted growth process, the weed dies off while leaving desired plants and the aquatic and terrestrial environments unaffected.
Step 5 Pristine Landscape: RoundUp Custom effectively eliminates weeds, maintaining a clean and visually appealing landscape around your lake house, shoreline, and dock area.
Note: It's recommended to use Round-Up Custom with a nonionic surfactant to improve coverage and control. Always follow label instructions and local regulations when applying herbicides.

Expert Tips and Product Drawbacks
Pro Tip: "Remember, RoundUp Custom Herbicide is a non-selective post-emergent herbicide, meaning it will only kill weeds that have already sprouted, and it could kill desirable plants if they come into direct contact with the chemical. If you need to spray one plant while keeping others around it, cover the desirable plants to prevent accidental spraying."
Product Drawbacks: Watering or heavy rainfall can easily wash the product off treated plants, requiring repeat applications.
