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.

We have quite a large infestation of horsetail in our garden (~1 acre) which has been impossible to get rid of previously. The Kurtail Gold has certainly killed off the tops and seems to be working on the root system as well. (too early yet to say how well that has gone). So far is working excellently. Expensive, but appears to be the only product to do the job, so worth it.

Very good customer service. Product arrived promptly and was well packaged. I have used it to spray an area which was very badly infected with horse tail. The top growth died back very quickly and some 4 weeks later there is very little evidence of re-growth. I will probably need to wait until next spring to judge how effective long-term this product is, but thus far it has shown better results than all previous treatments. Although it appears expensive, the dosage rate makes this good value for money.

I have a really bad problem with mares tail coming through into my garden from a woodland area on the other side of my garden fence. It has only appeared in the last 2-3 years and nothing I have tried has had any affect on it. The strongest weed killer I tried earlier this year killed everything except the mares tail, which appears to have thrived. I think that is because all the other weeds had been killed and it had nothing to compete with. However, I sprayed the mares tail a week ago with Kurtail Gold at the recommended dose of 50ml per 4.5 gallons of water and already it looks very much like it is dying. I plan to spray it again before the end of the growing season just to ensure it gets any of the mares tail I may have missed. I will also keep an eye out for it returning next Spring and will kill it before it gets a hold. I am extremely pleased with Kuritol Gold and would certainly recommend it to anyone who has a problem with mares tail.

Fed with buying weed killer that does not work so splashed out on this. Somewhat dearer but does the job. Just spray the dreaded mares/horses tail and within 5 days it's turning black. No bruising needed so you can kill the weeds that you couldn't reach to bruise previously. Overall , yes it's a bit dearer but it kills the dreaded mares/horses tail You could spend the same amount on stuff that won't even touch it. If you get one weedkiller for it, get this , well worth the money.

We have several types of mares tail growing throughout the garden and Kurtail is the ONLY solution that has had any effect on it. It doesn't get rid of it, but does weaken it. Yes it's expensive, but well worth it

When neighbours saw me spraying an infestation of marestail outside my property, they said I was wasting my time! One week later I have had farmers asking me how I managed to kill marestails. It's that effective
