Areas of use

Directions for use

Cut the tree as close to the ground as possible
For optimum results, treat within 2 days of cutting; however, stumps can be treated up to 1 month after felling, but translocation of active ingredient may be slower
Measure the diameter of the cut face and calculate how many plugs to use from the application rate table
Drill a hole in the stump; the hole should be 25 - 30mm deep and 13mm wide using an adapted drill to control the depth
Space the holes no more than 6 - 8cm apart around the entire circumference of the stump
Drill as close to the bark as possible, because the tree’s transport system is directly adjacent to the bark
7. Insert Ecoplug Max plugs into each hole with the thicker end protruding outwards
Using a hammer, drive the Ecoplug Max plug in completely so that its head seals the drilled hole, causing the plug to release the herbicide
For best results, stump treatment should be done not more than 2 days after felling
Do not use for any other purpose than treatment of freshly cut tree stumps
FOR USE ONLY AS AN INDUSTRIAL/FORESTRY HERBICIDE.
