Product Overview

Nufarm Polaris controls Japanese bamboo and cattails as well as most other tough aquatic, brushy weeds. It can be used in riparian zones, wetlands, estuaries, roadside and utility rights-of-way, wildlife openings,and other non-cropland areas. The long-lasting formula provided by Nufarm Polaris helps to reduce the need for re-treating, and the low usage rate means less product to apply and handle. As with all of Nufarm's products, Polaris offers the quality performance you expect.

    Good easy to use product

    By Tl on 04/06/2016

    Results are determined by the mix rate. using 1.5oz min per gallon has given me predicable results. Does not have an issue with ground leaching like some products, will purchase again.

    Nufarm Polaris

    By Dave on 01/22/2015

    Verified Purchase

    Excellent nonselective soil applied and postemergent herbicide. When used with Diuron covers a very broad spectrum of weeds and light brush. I would have preferred the 40% solution for more cost effective carry in vehicle, however price was reasonable for this 20% formulation.

    ADD MSM FOR TOTAL KILL

    By Terry on 08/08/2019

    Am buying Polaris locally, just found it on Do My Own.. There is a inexpensive product called MSM. It is a soluble powder. Comes with its own measuring cup. Add MSM to Polaris. It will kill all woody weeds, even Privet. ALWAYS ADD SOMEHTING LIKE DAWN ULTRA TO ANY SPRAY FOR BETTER COVERAGE. 10 to 12-oz per 100 gals (1/2teaspoon per gal)

    Not worth the price

    By Richard on 06/10/2015

    Verified Purchase

    Purchased Polaris herbicide to spray Privet. Instructions say a 1% solution will kill the plant. I raised the concentration to 2% and had very little success. Basically only works on young plants. It killed a lot of grass that was not a target pest. Will have to resort to mechanical means to remove the invasive species. Way too expensive for so few results.

    Effective against watershield

    By Jonathan on 05/07/2023

    So far so good treating watershield in a small 1.5acre pond. The vegetation would just take over into the summer. This was said to be highly effective and it has been. Visible difference after one week.

Q
Will Nufarm Polaris Herbicide kill Chinese bamboo permanently?

I've been battling Chinese bamboo for 2 years now.

A

Nufarm Polaris Herbicide is a great choice for aiding in control of Japanese and Golden Bamboo in aquatic areas. Per the product label, you should apply when the plants are actively growing and before setting seed head. It is important to understand and practice non-chemical methods for controlling many types of bamboo as well since established bamboo can be very difficult to completely eradicate. This article from your PA Extension has more information about bamboo commonly found in your area.
