FAQ - Fiesta
 Home > FAQs > Fiesta
-
What is it?
Fiesta is an iron based selective organic herbicide.
-
How does it differ from traditional products?
Fiesta is classified as a class 11 pesticide in the province of Ontario, otherwise called a biopesticide.
Fiesta is not a traditional herbicide such as Mecoprop or 2,4-D (class 8 banned pesticides) which both relied on
altering hormone pathways to destroy weeds. Fiesta uses high dose chelated iron to essentially overdose wide leafed plants and destroy them.
-
How does it work?
The iron based solution is absorbed by the leaves of the weeds and oxidize the tissues of the plant turning it purplely/black.
Reapplication after 3 weeks ensures adequate absorption and tissue damage to the weed.
-
What else can you expect from your lawn when using this product?
Four applications per season (2 fall and 2 spring) provide good cosmetic results. Damage to grass can be seen if used more than 6 times per season.
It will provide good control of dandelion, thistle, plantain, and moss, and other weed varieties to a lesser extent.
Care should be taken to avoid spraying desired plants around gardens.
-
When and how do I get started?
Fiesta can be applied any time weeds are actively growing and should be reapplied at 3 weeks for best results.
