Arsenal Herbicide
Arsenal Herbicide is a low-volume non-selective herbicide that controls a broad-spectrum of broadleaf weeds, grassy weeds, and brush in non-crop areas, nonagricultural lands, and aquatic sites.
09/07/25
Arsenal Herbicide, manufactured by BASF, is a well-patented non-selective herbicide that provides control over a wide range of troublesome weeds and brush within nonagricultural lands, pastures, rangelands, and aquatic sites.
Offers season-long or multi-year residual activity against invasive and persistent vegetation such as fescue, poison ivy, trumpet creeper, and more. This systemic herbicide effectively disrupts plant growth by inhibiting essential enzyme production, ensuring long-lasting vegetation control with minimal soil disturbance.
Arsenal Herbicide is an industry-leading solution for controlling unwanted vegetation in forestry, industrial, and aquatic environments. With its long-lasting residual control, broad-spectrum effectiveness, and versatile application methods, it remains a go-to herbicide for professionals.
Tools Needed
It can be applied with a helicopter, ground sprayer, backpack sprayer, or handheld pump sprayer.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Arsenal Herbicide to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Find the square footage by measuring the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For acreage, take the square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acres). For control of undesirable vegetation in grass pasture and rangeland, Arsenal may be applied as a spot treatment at a rate of 2 to 48 fluid ounces of product per 100 gallons of water per treated acre. Refer to the product label for specific application rates and restrictions.
- Step 2: Fill the spray tank with half the amount of product, then pour in the proper amount of product. Add in the remaining half of the water and agitate until well-mixed.
- Step 3: Spray the top and bottom of weeds until wet, but not to the point of runoff. Do not irrigate for at least 24 hours following application to allow for dissipation.
Where to Use
Arsenal Herbicide can be used within specified aquatic sites, forestry sites, pasture/rangeland, and nonagricultural lands; and for establishment and maintenance of wildlife openings, release of unimproved Bermudagrass and Bahiagrass, bareground weed control, and for use under certain paved surfaces.
Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas.
When to Use
Apply when weeds are actively growing on days when rainfall is not expected to occur for at least an hour after application.
Safety Information
Arsenal Herbicide is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product.
Keep people and pets out of the treated area until 48 hours have passed after application.
Special Considerations
Do not side trim desirable vegetation with this product unless severe injury and plant death can be tolerated. Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants.
