Avenger

Avenger Weed Killer is a fast-acting, highly effective, non-selective, post-emergence organic herbicide that safely kills weeds, grasses & broadleaves. The active ingredient, d-Limonene (citrus oil), naturally strips away the waxy plant cuticle, causing it to dry up and die.

This OMRI-certified solution comes in two concentrations:

• Avenger Weed Killer: A backyard gardener's safe solution -  1:6 ratio to water (available in all 50 states.) 
• Avenger Optima AG: A farmer's non-toxic alternative -16:1 ratio to water (not for sale in California.) 

INGREDIENTS:

Emulsified d-Limonene (citrus oil) is a natural degreaser found in more than 300 fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. It is commonly used in soaps, foods, lotions, mouthwash, and perfumes.

When the juice is squeezed from oranges, an oily film remains on top; this oil is primarily composed of d-Limonene. The citrus rind is then squeezed further to remove any remaining oil in the citrus skin, consisting mainly of d-Limonene.

Avenger’s patented Ready to Use (RTU) formula comprises water and d-Limonene. The remaining ingredients are proprietary non-toxic and safe surfactants to help dissolve the d-Limonene (Citrus Oil) in water.

Avenger products DO NOT contain the following ingredients:

• Corn gluten
• Acetic Acid/Clove Oil Combination
• "Food Grade" 200 Grain
• Vinegar or 20% Acetic Acid
• Fatty Acid
• Salt
• Any synthetic chemicals

USE:

Avenger’s active ingredient, d-Limonene, is a potent degreasing agent. While it is organic and safe for the environment, it is concentrated, and care has to be taken when handling it. Note: Always read and follow label directions for all products. Information here is not a substitute for directions on the product labels.

Avenger will work under cool (down to 40ºF) and overcast conditions. This allows growers to get an earlier start on weed control, as weeds are generally smaller, more susceptible, and less likely to recover. Faster results will be seen on hot, humid, sunny days.

Pets and children can inhabit sprayed areas as soon as the spray dries. As long as the weed remains wet, children and pets may inadvertently transfer the product to desirable foliage and possibly affect that foliage.

Sprayed areas can be planted within 2-3 hours after application or after the solution dries. Through a half-life process, the product dissipates and turns into CO2 after it has dried.

Do not spray Avenger in the rain or if rain is expected within one hour. It can wash the product off the plant leaf surface, reducing its efficacy and transferring to plants and grasses that you don’t want to kill.

THIRD-PARTY REVIEW:

University and independent testing results prove that Avenger is as effective but faster acting when compared to leading synthetic herbicides, including Glyphosate. Glyphosate typically takes 7 to 14 days to work; Avenger performs much quicker, often seeing results in 1-2 hours.

OMRI independently reviews products used in certified organic production, handling, and processing. A thorough review of products ensures that Avenger complies with USDA organic standards.
