Sarritor

At Dr. Green, we are very excited about a new, innovative, natural alternative that can effectively control weeds, while conforming to all local municipal bylaws. Dr. Green is proud to be one of two companies in the world having exclusive rights to provide their customers with this product. We have invested over 2 years of research on this new effective method of broadleaf weed control and will soon be offering this as a part of our many available treatment plans.

This product was developed by a company called 'Sarritor' and has been registered by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) as a weed control agent. Sarritor is a naturally occuring fungus that is native to Canada that is capable of eliminating weeds in about a week.

We are currently in the testing phase where we are measuring the effectiveness of this product while applying it to lawns in the city of Toronto; we are pleased with the overwhelming success to date.



The Product & How It Works

The product was discovered by Dr. Allan Watson at McGill University. Dr. Watson has spent over 25 years researching novel ways to effectively control weed. Sarritor's active component is a naturally occuring fungus. When applied to a broadleaf weed, the funus will grow into the weed and absorb the plant tissues until the weed is completely gone. Once the weed is gone, the fungus disappears. It usually takes between 5 and 7 days to eliminate the weeds. Grass has a natural defense mechanism against the product so all grass types cannot be harmed. This technology actually uses the weeds' natural enemy to control it.

The product does not pose a risk to human health or the environment and is compatible with normal lawn maintenence operations such as mowing, fertilization, and irrigation.
We reccomend applying the product in the spring and the fall when the weeds are actively growing. The product can be applied any time during the day provided the temperature is not above 25 degrees Celsius. You can walk on the grass and water your lawn immediately after the product is applied. However, we reccomend waiting 3 days before mowing or playing games on the grass since the product requires some time to establish itself in the weeds and start to work. The productrequires moisture to work effectively. Therefore, it will work better on rainy days.



The Application Process


After The Application - 3 Important Steps

Watering

Watering is the most important aspect of getting this product to work. We would ask that after the application is finished, or as soon as possible, you water for a minimum of 15 mins. If rain is not forcasted for the next few days then you may be required to keep the lawn moist for the next few days, to ensure it does not dry out.

Mowing

Normal mowing practices can be resumed 3 days after the application of Sarritor. Also try to avoid heavy traffic on the lawn for atleast 3 days to allow the product to work more effectively.

Pesticide Signage

Although Sarritor is naturally occuring and safe for animals, birds and humans, Ontario law requires that we post a pesticide sign at each application. If anyone should have any questions or concerns, please call our office at 1-877-374-7336.
