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.

Domestic garden borders - Horse tail turned dark brown/black within 7 days (nothing else I have tried has been so effective), raked off and cleared area and put in some shrubs after about 2 weeks, so far so good; next year's re-growth will be interesting so I am buying and cutting some drain pipes ready (see google tips on treating individual fronds) as I realise this could take a few years in total. I would recommend this bundle.

This was my first purchase, having been told that I would never irradicate Marestail I was apprehensive however it has proved to be very effective and results can be seen within 3-4 days with plants totally dead in about 14 days. Very effective.

So far so good. I have sprayed the dastardly horsetail and all the top growth has died. The stems still show signs of green inside when pulled up. Because we garden on heavy clay soil I think it will take two or three applications over a couple of years before we can say that it has really gone. However this is the best killer that we have applied so far in 50 years of trying to rid ourselves of it.

Perfect, this has killed all the current growth in my drive. Two applications and all I have to do now is the rake up next week. Unfortunately I will have to keep this product to hand as the mares tail encroaches from a neighbour whose gardening style is more suited to a 10th story flat.

My garden was infested with horsetail. I have used Kurtail for three successive seasons and have almost eradicated this dreadful weed. Persistence pays.

2 weeks after applying to my vast mat of marestail only a few flecks of green are left. Most of it blackened by the end of the first week. Now to clear it all off and check for regrowth. It seems to be doing a good job clearing my brambles too, but more slowly.
