BareSpot Monobor-Chlorate

BareSpot Monobor-Chlorate, manufactured by Proserve, is a powerful non-selective herbicide that controls numerous weeds and grasses that it comes into contact with in a single treatment.

Due to its dry, ready-to-use granule formulation, it eliminates the risk of drift or overapplication. Simply water the granules for instant control of unwanted vegetation, including broadleaf and perennial weeds. The powerful combination of 2 active ingredients, Sodium Metaborate 48.5% and Sodium Chlorate 30%, provides instant knockdown and long-lasting residual control in non-crop areas.

BareSpot Monobor-Chlorate delivers season-long bare ground vegetation control and will prevent new growth in the future. A single treatment provides 6 to 9 months of residual control of hard-to-control weeds and new seedlings.

Tools Needed

To use this product, you will need a hand or push-operated spreader and a water hose to wet the granules after application.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much BareSpot Monobor-Chlorate to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). The application rate for general weed control is 2 lbs. of BareSpot Monobor-Chlorate per 100 sq. ft. For perennial weed control, use 4 lbs. of product per 100 sq. ft. For use as "prepaving" residual herbicide under asphalt paving, 2-4 lbs of product per 100 sq. ft. should be applied dry. If you wish to use a spray application of this product, dissolve 1-2 lbs. of product per gallon of water and apply 11/2-2 gallons per 100 sq. ft. Where surfacing has already been cracked by emergent vegetation, inject BareSpot Monobor-Chlorate in a solution of 2 lbs. per gallon of water.
• Step 2: Load the proper amount of product into a spreader or sprayer of your choice, calibrated at the right setting for a uniform spread. For spray applications, fill the sprayer with half the amount of water required, add the measured amount of product, and pour in the remaining half of the water. Let it dissolve, then shake until well mixed.
• Step 3: Apply uniformly over the desired areas and then water in BareSpot Monobor-Chlorate immediately after application for best results. Do not apply this product near the roots of desired vegetation.

Special Considerations
