Industrial Vegetation Management

The great all-rounders

Managing difficult to control scrub, brush, woody and invasive weeds is an all the year round job. Usually to get the best results demands a flexible approach involving various control methods. But when budgets are being cut, and belts need to be tightened, it is important to have the right products in store that can 'multi-task' and provide an all-round solution to a wide variety of weed control problems.

Meet the great versatile all-rounders - GARLON* 4 and TIMBREL*.

These two products work, through translocation, by stimulating plant cell elongation, which causes uncontrolled cell growth and leads to the destruction of the plant.

GARLON 4 and TIMBREL offer the benefits of:

• High degree of translocation - for more efficient control
• Flexible control methods
• Use in many situations
• Control of a wide range of woody weeds
• Safe to grasses, so reducing the risk of erosion on slopes
• Rainfast in under two hours
• Helping to improve the biodiversity of treated areas.

As well as being versatile in the weeds that they control, GARLON 4 and TIMBREL can be applied in a variety of different ways to provide year round weed control solutions.

Cut stump treatment
This is an ideal treatment to prevent the re-growth of trees straight after felling. Cut-stump treatments can be used any time of the year except during spring sap flow.

Foliar sprays - summer treatment
Ideal for brush and scrub clearance when woody and perennial herbaceous weeds are actively growing during the spring and summer.

Winter shoot sprays
Certain species e.g. ash, buckthorn, hawthorn and oak are more susceptible to shoot spraying in the winter during their winter dormancy.

Stem treatments
Stem treatments allow for year round application where problem weeds need to be removed. These include basal bark, frill girdling and tree injection.

Scrub, brush and woody weeds are a common sight in a wide range of rail, highways, industrial and forestry locations. If left uncontrolled, these weeds can cause considerable damage to private and public property, adversely affecting infrastructure, buildings and the biodiversity of the landscape.  Having flexible dose rates depending on which of the many weeds controlled certainly helps spray operators realise the true value of having flexible products such as GARLON 4 and TIMBREL
