What it does

LAWNZ Resilience is a dual-action herbicide designed to help you win the battle against poa annua — one of the most stubborn and unwanted grass weeds in New Zealand lawns. Whether you’re establishing new turf or maintaining an existing one, Resilience helps suppress poa and a broad range of weed seedlings, creating a cleaner, healthier lawn.

Use it pre-emergent (just after sowing seed) or post-emergent (1–3x/year) for longer-term control.

Key benefits

• Controls poa annua – One of the few selective herbicides targeting poa
• Versatile use – Apply pre-emergent (after sowing) or post-emergent (mature lawns)
• Safe for Ryegrass and Tall Fescue – Works without affecting your desired grass
• Long-term maintenance – Suppress poa populations over time

When and how to apply

Pre-emergent (New Lawns)

• Apply just after sowing Ryegrass or Tall Fescue seed
• Creates a chemical barrier that blocks weed seeds from germinating
• Do not use on Fine Fescue or warm-season grasses

Post-emergent (Maintenance)

• Use 1–3x annually to control poa in established turf
• Apply only when temperatures are under 22°C
• Avoid overlap and runoff
• Mix 40ml in 4–5L of water per 100m²
