Product Summary

10° white vinegar is a natural vinegar derived from natural fermentation¹, of food-grade quality. White vinegar is composed of acetic acid and water. It is also known as crystal vinegar and alcohol vinegar. It is ready to use as an agricultural weed killer. Its concentration allows it to be used in gardens for horticulture or in agriculture. It can replace the use of toxic phytosanitary products with a naturally derived product with a lower environmental impact. White vinegar is a contact herbicide: it burns the leaves without penetrating the roots of plants.
