KURTAIL EVO (Kurtail Gold / Kibosh) - EXCLUSIVE TO PROGREEN The Kurtail family of products is the UK No. 1 choice of weed killer for controlling and killing horsetail / mares tail (Equisetum arvense) Need advice on how to kill marestail / horsetail? Call us on 01778 394052 Effective on killing and controlling Horsetail (Marestail) Kurtail Evo is based on two weed killer active ingredients glyphosate and 2,4-D that combine in a lipophilic action to maximise uptake. Both of these weedkillers contribute to mares tail control and this ensures that Kurtail Evo maintains it’s position as the best weed killer for mares tail control. PLUS NEW Kurtail Evo now controls an even larger range of weeds than Kurtail Gold: AREA OF USE: Approved for use on amenity vegetation, hard surfaces (railway ballast), orchards, amenity grassland (destruction), green cover on land not being used for crop production, and stubbles Can be used as an alternative to straight glyphosate products – giving a faster speed of action Ideal for total grassland destruction where additional weeds are present using a boom sprayer only Improve mares tail control further (especially in hard water areas) by adding Kplus+ to your spray tank just like Kurtail Gold For control of marestail when applying with a knapsack or hand held sprayer we suggest SBK Brush Wood Killer with KPlus Improved control of difficult to kill weeds such as docks and thistles Do not use under polythene or glass Allow 5 days after spraying Kurtail Evo before applying lime, fertiliser, farmyard manure or other pesticides Do not use alongside hedges Kurtail Evo is not a selective weedkiller. Protect plants and grass you do not want to damage from overspray or drift KEY POINTS Effective on killing and controlling horsetail (marestail) No need to bruise or damage the plant Apply to growing weeds that are green and 20cm+ Treated weeds will turn black and wither within 2 - 3 weeks Rainfast in 3 hours Re-seeding possible from 5 - 60 days after application (see product label for crops timings) Vegetables should be planted 60 days after application of Kurtail Evo Fast acting, non-selective herbicide Results seen in 10 – 14 days Best results when applied between 1st March and 30th September Also controls a wide range of annual and perennial weeds Various pack sizes to suit smaller or larger scale users Can be sprayed with a boom sprayer at same rate as Kurtail Gold NB: NOT recommended for use in a watering can After spraying, wash out with water and a proprietary cleaner such as Allclear Extra or Tank and Equipment Cleaner to avoid damage to susceptible plants Application notes and guidance: Horsetail is often called mare's tail but this is more accurately an aquatic weed (hippuris vulgaris). The correct latin name for horsetail is Equisetum arvense or ‘field horsetail’.NB: Kurtail Evo is not approved for aquatic use. Its root system is extremely vigorous and can grow very deep which is why it can regenerate after treatment and cultural controls, such as digging or rotorvating, will only spread and multiply the problem in the short term. Please phone us if you intend to build over treated areas...eg, tarmac drives It is preferable to allow the horsetail / mares tail weed to wither and die naturally before cutting or removing the weed. If this is not possible, then a minimum of 3 weeks should elapse before cutting or removing. Any horsetail/mares tail roots which emerge after treatment will require respraying. Spraying of mare's tail should not take place if rainfall is due within 3 hours (minimum), 24 hours is preferable for best results. Horsetail is best sprayed when it is 6-8" tall (15-20cm) rather than when it first emerges. Non-tallow amine formulation Please read the label before use. It is often necessary to retreat the same area several times as distinct root fragments emerge over time and reach the target height for spraying (6-8") Kurtail Evo is a registered trademark of Progreen Weed Control Ltd. Hard Water Effect on Marestail Control: The effectiveness of many weedkillers can be reduced by some of the ingredient being “locked up” especially in hard water areas. We can help reduce this problem and maximise it’s effect on marestail by simply adding KPlus+. to the spraytank. Recommended safety clothing / PPE as per the MSDS; protective clothing (coverall), protective gloves, eye/face protection, respiratory protection

“Used Kurtail on a large patch of marestail and after about 7 days the ends started to turn brown and start to die. But after over 3 weeks the main stem is still growing and new shoots are appearing. All it seems to do is turn it from green to brown but not kill it.”

HI Nicholas - thank you for your review. Often when this occurs it is due to the fact that the marestail has not been sprayed to a run off point, or deep enough into the plant. Meaning that the herbicide only works with what it has come into contact with (hence the tips only going brown). When spraying you need to spray to the point on run-off over the whole plant growth. Additionally in these hot temperatures if sprayed in the heat of the day you can get volatilisation which means the spray evaporates – so not coming into contact with the horse tail long enough to control. The new shoots sadly are expected as Kurtail Gold only controls the active growth, as it works by reducing the vigour of the root system. Unfortunately there is nothing on the market that will kill the whole root network in one go. Kurtail Gold is the market leader in dealing with mare’s tail for the last 8 years, with very good outcomes for the vast majority of our customers. We’re sorry this is not the case with yourself. We’re more than happy to offer further advice if you want to contact us – info@progreen.co.uk . Thanks - The ProGreen Team

“Living in the country we are really bothered with horse's tail, sometimes called mare's tail. We have tried everything, from spraying to bruising and spraying, mostly with glyphosphate based weedkillers. Nothing worked. Originally we thought Kurtail was very expensive, but when we saw the coverage we decided to give it a go. Sprayed 3 - 4 days before we went off on 2 weeks holiday. When we left we could see it had already started to work. When we came back the horse's tail was brown/black and obviously dying. Very pleased with the results and can highly recommend the product. There are some new shoots which were obviously not visible when we sprayed - they will get the same treatment. We probably sprayed after the spores had fallen. As many say it takes perseverance and spraying as soon as you see new shoots before they spread out. Definitely deserves 5 stars!”
