Sycamore seedlings

Many paddock owners realise how important it is to control sycamore seedlings if they are grazed by horses and ponies. Some seedlings contain the toxin hypoglycin A and ingestion can cause a potentially fatal condition called equine atypical myopathy. SBK Brushwood Killer is an amateur approved product which allows equine paddock owner who do not hold NPTC sprayer qualifications to still have control over this issue. For professional use product, please see Grazon Pro.

Controlling horsetail (or mare's tail) with SBK and KPlus

It is highly recommended that you use the adjuvant KPlus combined with SBK to enable the triclopyr to break down the silica outer layer of the horsetail and increases its ability to penetrate into the weed achieving greater results.

For mare's tail/horsetail control, it may be necessary to retreat several times to eradicate the extensive underground root system. Once applied, do not cut or roll the treated weed.' Allow the plant to wither and die completely before removing dead plant material.

Amvista Spore Stop

To complete the Horsetail control programme Amvista Spore Stop should be used to treat the reproductive brown stems which aggressively spread spores. This will help to prevent its spread and protect neighbouring areas. The use of Spore Stop will help to break the cycle of reestablishment in Marestail populations currently being controlled with Kurtail Evo or SBK alone.
