PLANT & WEED GROWTH.
Used at a 1:3 dilution, C-Cide is excellent for controlling poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, garden weeds,
indian grass, straw grass, bittersweet, mugwort and more.
C-Cide is a NON-SPECIFIC Contact Herbicide, annihalating all it has contact with. This is a CONTACT KILL.
Although testing continues on different plant species, it has been determined that C-Cide’s mechanism works
by infiltrating the stoma of the plant, thereby infiltrating the xylem (the vascular tissue of the plant) and “melting”
the plant’s cell walls. This destruction of the cell wall, from the middle lamella to the plasma membrane, causes
the plant to “bleed out”. This does not allow the plant to transport vital nutrition and ultimately kills the plant.
Testing with New York State Department of Transportation has shown C-Cide is effective as a Non-Specific
crack and crevice herbicide. It has also been determined that mulch used after C-Cide, is an excellent adjunct
procedure creating an additional barrier from further growth or new growth from occurring (as was tested with
Suffolk County Government, NY).
Testing completed on Tamarix (Saltcedar) by the California Department of Parks also resulted in positive
findings for controlling invasive plants and plans to replace their present treatment regimen (Garlon-4 &
surfacants) with C-Cide.
Testing on Kudzu (which grows 60 feet in a growing season) with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk
County and the Township of Huntington, NY, resulted in defoliation and small vine kill. The results confirmed that
with regular C-Cide maintenance, Kudzu can be controlled and hopefully fully eliminated within a five year period.
C-Cide, if diluted more than the recommended dilution rates, WILL NOT WORK! In fact, it will act as a plant
synergist (also under testing with Cornell Cooperative & University of Georgia). So, it is extremely important to
dilute C-Cide as instructed by our technical staff. For Example 1:3 dilution rate means 1 gallon of C-Cide and 3
gallons of water. Ready to Use Product is Available.
Cost to NYS Gov: $85.00/gallon, if quantity exceeds 2,000 gallons, a 20 Percent Discount will be honored. Shipping cost is the only variable and is not included in pricing.
