about 2-3 days After using a Roundup® For Lawns Product, find a good place to keep it. You know, one where it won't freeze or overheat. It takes about 2-3 days for weeds' stems to start twisting, so check back in a few days to see the results.

Most Roundup® Weed & Grass Killer products deliver visible results in a few hours, though some take a little bit longer. For Roundup® Max Control 365, it takes 12 hours to see visible results, but the trade-off is year-long hassle-free weed control.

Although spraying Roundup® For Lawns on your weeds is quite satisfying, resist the urge to do it too much. It works so well; one application is usually all you need to kill a weed. And some weeds can take as long as three weeks to die. If it's still hanging in there in two weeks, give it another spray.

It can persist in soil for up to 6 months depending on the climate and the type of soil it is in. Glyphosate is broken down by bacteria in the soil. Glyphosate is not likely to get into groundwater because it binds tightly to soil. In one study, half the glyphosate in dead leaves broke down in 8 or 9 days.

While it may seem silly that the time affects the plant's uptake of weed killer, gardening expert and CEO of GreenPal, Bray Clayton, suggests that early morning or late evening are the golden period for weed killing.

Coles says, “Since night spraying was usually more effective than dawn, night spraying could be a good option when daytime opportunities for spraying are limited.” For canola, Liberty and Roundup (Vantage Plus Max II) usually performed best at midday and worst in the early morning.

If you unknowingly damaged your lawn with an herbicide like Roundup, you'll have to do some physical renovation to the lawn. You'll want to go ahead and remove the dead areas of lawn before more weeds move in to take its place. Then re-sod the patches or re-seed the areas, depending on the type of grass in your lawn.

Roundup works best when plants are not under stress, such as drought, unusually high, or low, temps. It is less effective when sprayed after weeds have been mowed. Roundup gets tied up by, and broken down in, the soil. It is even affected by mixing it in dirty water or spraying it on plants that are very dusty.
