The First Organic Selective Herbicide for Crops
Eliminates broadleaf weeds — including ragweed — without harming your crop. Organic, broadcast-safe, dehydrates weeds down to the root. Nothing else like it exists.
What Makes Salacia Ag Different
Every university guide says the same thing: there is no organic selective herbicide for broadcast crop use. Salacia Ag makes that statement obsolete. Unlike contact organic weed killers that burn everything they touch, Salacia Ag is selective — it targets broadleaf weeds while leaving your crop standing.
Selective, Not Destructive
Targets broadleaf weeds without harming grass crops. Broadcast application — no directed spraying required. Apply the same way you would any conventional program.
Root-Deep Control
Not a surface burn-down. Salacia Ag dehydrates the weed down to the root so it doesn't grow back from the base. University-proven broadleaf control that lasts.
Certified Organic
OMRI-listed. Use it in organic production systems without risking your certification. Made from naturally derived ingredients — safe for certified organic operations.
No Soil Salt Buildup
Applied at high dilution. Weeds absorb the active ingredient. Any trace that reaches soil washes away with irrigation or rainfall. No accumulation in the soil profile.
University-Proven Broadleaf Control
Research trials demonstrated commercially acceptable control of the most economically damaging broadleaf weeds in row crops.
| Weed | Control Rate |
|---|---|
| Common Ragweed Ambrosia artemisiifolia | 92–99% |
| Giant Ragweed Ambrosia trifida | Effective control |
| Common Lambsquarters Chenopodium album | 97–100% |
| Hairy Crabgrass Digitaria sanguinalis | 85–87% |
| Barnyardgrass Echinochloa crus-galli | 83–86% |

Safe for Your Soil
The most common question from informed growers: does Salacia Ag cause salt buildup in the soil?
No. Salacia Ag is applied as a highly diluted solution. The active ingredient is absorbed primarily by the weeds themselves during treatment. The small amount that reaches the soil does not accumulate — it disperses readily with normal irrigation or rainfall.
This is fundamentally different from high-concentration salt-based organic products, which deposit large amounts of acetic acid or sodium directly into the soil profile. Salacia Ag does not work that way.
Simple Application
Standard equipment. No special rigs. Five steps to broadleaf-free fields.
Time it right
Apply when weeds are young and actively growing for maximum absorption and control.
Mix by the bag
1 lb per gallon. One 45 lb bag treats 45 gallons. Count bags to your tank size — no scale needed.
Broadcast apply
Standard ground equipment or aerial application at labeled rate. Same gear you already use.
Two-application program
Split application — early season plus second pass at flowering stage — delivers optimal broadleaf control.
Follow your label
Always refer to the Salacia Ag label for crop-specific rates, timing, and restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Salacia Ag is applied as a highly diluted solution — weeds absorb the active ingredient during treatment, and any trace amount that reaches soil washes away with normal irrigation or rainfall. No accumulation. Field observations confirm no soil residue concern at recommended application rates.
At the recommended application rate, Salacia Ag is safe for use on labeled crops. University research trials showed yield equivalent to the untreated weed-free check at the recommended rate. Always follow label directions for your specific crop and growth stage.
Most organic herbicides — vinegar, clove oil, citric acid — are surface contact products. They scorch anything they touch including your crop, and the weed can regrow from the root because the root is never reached. Salacia Ag dehydrates the weed down to the root and is selective — it targets broadleaf weeds only and leaves your crop standing. Learn more about organic vs. chemical herbicides.
Yes. It targets broadleaf weeds while leaving grass-type crops unharmed at the recommended rate. This is what makes it unique — no other OMRI-listed product can be broadcast over a grass crop without harming it. Read more about how selective weed killers work and what makes a weed killer selective.
Currently labeled for soybeans. Additional crop registrations are in progress. Always refer to the current product label for the complete list of labeled uses.
No. Salacia Ag is a federally registered agricultural herbicide for use on labeled crops only. Using it for lawn or turf applications is not a permitted use under its EPA registration. For lawn and turf, see Salacia for Lawns.
