NEW KURTAIL GOLD replaces Kurtail
Kurtail Gold is the new version of Kurtail (once called Kibosh).  Exclusive to Progreen, Kurtail Gold comes as the fully licensed replacement to the highly rated herbicide Kurtail which is proven as an effective total weed killer for many grasses and weeds as well as being  the original and most highly effective product on horsetail - also known as marestail.
The formulation of Kurtail Gold remains the same glufosinate ammonium, so users of Kurtail can still be assured of the effectiveness. 



This product is no longer available for sale. A replacement is coming soon!

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 Gold 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.
It is preferable to allow the horsetail/marestail 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 should not take place if rainfall is due within 8 hours (minimum), 24 hours is preferable for best results.
Please read the label before use.
Please note that more than one application may be required, as new growth can emerge after the initial application.

Hard water issues: 
KPlus+ is a water conditioner that ensures efficient plant action of pesticides and improves rainfastness. Water usually makes up over 95% of a spray solution, therefore it can have a huge impact on spray results. Hard water normally contains high levels of calcium. With some herbicides, high levels of calcium can render herbicides ineffective. KPlus+ 250ml is a spray water conditioner, specially developed to improve herbicide results - just add 100ml to an 20L knapsack BEFORE adding your herbicide. It acidifies spray water, offers better leaf coverage and improves herbicide uptake in the target weed. It also means increased rainfastness and faster weed knockdown.

Kurtail Gold appeared to kill the Marestail after two applications last summer (2017). However it appeared the following Summer (2018). It has just been retreated - twice - 4 weeks apart. Time will tell if it has been eradicated this time.

We've been using Progreen Kurtail on the considerable spread of horsetail weeds in a considerable part of our garden. Each year they deal very effectively with the weeds above ground, but each spring the weeds sprout again. We have been doing this for three summers now, but hope eventually the problem will be dealt with.

Hi John, thank you for leaving a review. Kurtail Gold is still the best option for horsetail as regular use reduces the vigour of the root system - which does all the invasive spreading. There is nothing on the market that will kill the whole of the root system in one go. The problem lies deeper underground with the mass of rhizomes/ roots which provide a huge source of stored energy. The root system may stretch down as far as 2m into the ground. Therefore repeated treatments are most probably required during the season and most likely in following years. Thanks, The ProGreen Team

This is the only product I have used that kills horsetails. Such a shame that this product will not be available soon.

This stuff seems to work on Mare's Tail although whether it has gone deep enough remains to be seen next year. A big improvement on Glyphosphate on this particular weed. Pity its being discontinued.

Brilliant - had results after just a few days. Two weeks later my garden looks the best it has for years. Easy to use and economical as well.
