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.

Excellent product. Works well on mares tail, have given two applications so far and it seems to be keeping the problem under control. Thought it was more expensive than other products, but it works out cheaper as it only takes a small amount compared to similar products. Would recommend it to anyone with the same problem.

As mentioned in other reviews, this bundle of weedkiller and water softener treatment kills the weed Mare's tail (Horse tail) very effectively. As indicated, 3-days after application, shoots were grey or blackened and collapsing. This also applies to very short young shoots between paving slabs, so maturity of shoot did not seem to be an issue. For the record, the domestic weedkiller Roundup Stumpkiller was not effective on the Horse tail - there was some initial die-back, but this was followed by regrowth. A minor additional point is that the spray stream is very consistent and smooth - perhaps due to the water treatment? Due to the dilution rates, this pack size goes a long way and represents excellent value for money. Highly recommended for treating this tricky, invasive weed.

This is an excellent product and works very well. It is the only product I have been able to find that kills horsetail weed (mare's tale) - at least for the season anyway.

The garden is overrun with mares tails and after the first application it had killed off the growth above ground. Reading other reports it is likely to be a long process but so so good. It is quite expensive, but if it does the job, then it will be with it.
