Best Practice: Glyphosate use on hard surfaces

Posted by Gary RK on August 31, 2012 at 9:09pm in Pesticides

Document(s) shared with all for information purposes......

The guidance in these documents is further endorsed by this years regulatory changes formalising the need to 'target' spray on hard surface and effectively outlawing blanket spraying with pesticides on ANY hard surface.

    Useful bit of update info Gary, cheers :-)

    As a useful addition, to prevent re-growth on hard surfaces there is a new product on the market, Chikara.

    It can be tank mixed with Round-up, etc, and prevents re-growth for up to 5 months.

    We have used it around our Nursery this year. 

    We used to always use Carasron G4, until it was banned. 

    Chikara is not cheap, but early results appear positive.

    We've used Chikara, it works but costs may be a problem depending on usage.

    We now currently use Scotts Pro-Sheild as a "1 product" solution. 

    Please note re: Rigby Taylor's Chikara - It can not be used on hard surfaces, fine on soft surfaces subject to restrictions of use.

    "Due to the potential for run-off into surface waters Chikara must not be used on non-porous man-made surfaces, e.g. paved areas, concrete, tarmac car parks and footpaths. Chikara must not be used in or around amenity vegetation."

    Slight change of tak Gary, have you used Kurtail for marestail. I have a huge housing estate and its riddled with it. Kurtail is very expensive. So was wondering if i can do a 50/50 mix with glypho and kurtail and will it still take out the marestail ?.

    i have used kurtail (used to be called kibosh ?) use as instructions don't mix it with gly good results in the garden i used it in nearly got it all first go went back after a fortnight to spot treat any bits i missed  and i was very happy with the results

    i always thought weed killers were a herbicide not pesticides. i have always spot treated on hard surfaces otherwise its a waste of solution (money down the drain) sorry about the pun

    pesticide is generic term covering herbicides, fungicide, insecticide etc.....excludes infanticide though, which is not covered by PA1.

    Common sense only works when youv'e got it lol. Bad use practice of pesticides etc is why theres rules regs and laws governing their use
