Details 

Surfactants lower the surface tension of water, causing it to spread more uniformly across the leaf surfaces of weeds. Surfactants also aid in breaking down the waxy cuticle on the weed's leaves, facilitating herbicide absorption.

By improving the contact between the herbicide and the weed, surfactants enhance the overall effectiveness of the spray application, leading to more efficient weed control.

Is the Odessa + Wetter 600 bundle safe for lawns?

Yes, when used according to label directions, Odessa is safe for common turf types such as buffalo, couch, kikuyu, and zoysia. Always test a small area if your lawn is sensitive or newly established.

What weeds does Odessa Herbicide control?

Odessa is formulated to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds including bindii, clover, oxalis, plantain, cudweed, and other common lawn weeds such as Guilford Grass and Onion Weed while leaving healthy turf unharmed.

How do you apply Odessa + Wetter 600?

Mix the recommended amount of Odessa Herbicide with water and add the specified dose of Wetter 600 surfactant. Apply evenly to actively growing weeds using a hand-held, hose-on, or battery sprayer. Avoid spraying in extreme heat or immediately before rainfall.

Why use Wetter 600 surfactant with Odessa instead of spraying alone?

Using Wetter 600 improves leaf coverage, penetration, and absorption, especially on waxy or hairy leaves. This increases herbicide effectiveness, reduces repeat applications, and ensures faster, more consistent weed control.

How long does it take to see results from Odessa?

Weeds typically start showing damage within 7–14 days, with full control often achieved within 3–4 weeks, depending on weed type, weather, and lawn health.
