Stop weeds before they ever appear
Spartan is a selective pre-emergent. It forms a barrier that stops weed seeds establishing, so you prevent the weeds rather than spraying them once they are already up.
- Prodiamine at 480g/L, a proven pre-emergent active
- Targets Winter Grass (Poa annua), Summer Grass and crowsfoot
- Works on the root tips of newly germinated weeds
- 500ml covers roughly 1,250m² of lawn
Three steps to a weed barrier
Work out your area, then mix Spartan into water in your sprayer at 30 to 40ml per 100m².
Cover the whole area in one even pass so the barrier is consistent.
Water it in with at least 6mm, ideally straight after spraying. It can sit for up to a week before watering, but the sun starts to break it down, so sooner is better.
What it is, and how to use it
- Prodiamine at 480g/L, suspension concentrate
- Selective pre-emergent for established turf
- Controls Winter Grass, Summer Grass and crowsfoot
- Acts on the root tips of newly germinated weeds
Existing weeds are not controlled. Spartan prevents the next lot coming through, so timing matters.
| Rate | 30 to 40ml / 100m² |
| Coverage | 500ml ≈ 1,250m² |
| Then | Water in, at least 6mm |
Mix at 30 to 40ml per 100m², then water in with at least 6mm, ideally straight after spraying. Do not apply if you are overseeding or to newly seeded or newly laid turf. Always read the label before use.

Stop the weeds before they start
Lay the barrier down at the right time and prevent the weeds instead of chasing them all season. One 500ml bottle covers about 1,250m².
