Controlling marestail / horsetail with SBK and KPlus+
It is highly recommended that you use the adjuvant KPlus combined with SBK to enable the triclopyr to break down the silica outer layer of the horsetail and increases its ability to penetrate into the weed achieving greater results.
For marestail/horsetail control, it may be necessary to retreat several times to eradicate the extensive underground root system.  Once applied, do not cut or roll the treated weed.  Allow the plant to wither and die completely before removing dead plant material.

Does as described but marestail persistent So may need a couple of applications to eradicate fully

Recommended as an alternative to Kurtail Gold. Applied 3 weeks ago and the Marestail infestation is no better, and plants sprayed still clinging on to life. Will mix a stronger solution and try again, but using recommended mix not good enough. Highly overpriced compared to Kurtail.

It does what it says on the bottle so I am very pleased and grateful for the way in which my order was handled.

brilliant for killing marestail but remember you need to spray each new shoot that appears as they are hearty wee buggers!

The weeds have started to keel over after just a few days. As they appeared in a flower border I applied the weed killer by painting it on. I’m confident that it will achieve the result I want. Thank you.

This is an astonishing product. After years of unsuccessful attempts to rid our garden of Marestail, one application is killing it off sufficiently to cover with weed control matting and gravel over the top. We are so pleased that we are recommending the product to our neighbours , who are suffering with the same problem. Many thanks

I have tried everything on the marestails that are ruining my allotment. Being a cynic I took the claims for SBK with a pinch of salt, but I needed to try something. Lo and behold two weeks later I'm looking at brown, dead marestails; and this is spraying in October when I was sure they were all dormant. I am delighted.
