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 (Equisetum arvense).
The formulation or active ingredient in Kurtail Gold remains the same; glufosinate ammonium, so users of Kurtail can still be assured of the full effectiveness.
This product is no longer available for sale. A replacement is coming soon!

Need to tackle marestail / horsetail in the meantime? SBK Brushwood Killer & Kplus will give good levels of control.
Kurtail Gold, as with all other glufosinate products, was only available for sale until the 31st January 2019. The ingredients in Kurtail Gold will no longer be available in the UK and Europe from this date.
Kurtail Gold also has the benefit of now having far wider areas of use, making it a highly versatile total herbicide that can act on other weeds besides the dreaded horsetail/ marestail.
Hard water can lock up active ingredients - the chemical in Kurtail Gold. Using Kplus reduces this wastage and allows the full strength of the product to get to work on target weeds.See below for guidance on using Kplus water conditioner with Kurtail Gold to get the most out of your herbicide spray - especially in hard water areas

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 can contain high levels of calcium & magnesium. With some herbicides, high levels of calcium can render herbicides ineffective. KPlus+ is a spray water conditioner, specially developed to improve herbicide results - just add 100ml to an 20 L 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.
