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.

Awesome product kit. Almost like ronseal, does exactly what it says it does. I was doubtful at first is a saw no impact for 4 days at least. However once the solution (mixed at the instructions that come with the pack. Although the measurement method on the brushwood weed killer is useless. As it's rolling around in the bottom of the sprayer.... Best to have an old jug around for that) after 7 days we had very brown, sad and dead weeds. Great job!

Used it very successfully on Mares Tails. Used a large piece of corrugated cardboard to shield other plants. No problems!

Hardly used any product but killed off my mare tail, as expected it will need regular treatment to keep it down but that’s no problem

Seems to be working a treat. hasn't killed neighbouring vegitation but knocks the marestail right back. Will need to see over a longer period of time if it is able to completely eradicate it

Amazing result using the SBK Brushwood Killer and KPlus, that has dealt very efficiently with the invasive marestail in my garden. I thought it was a bit expensive when I first started researching ways to get rid of the problem, but it was worth every penny. Quick delivery, and well packaged item. I highly recommend Progreen Weed Control. See pic below of the result I got following the instructions to kill marestail. One very happy customer.

Very quick delivery and clear, easy to follow instructions and it killed the previously untouched marestail weeds in days. Will definitely use this again on any stubborn weeds.

I sprayed this product on the mares tail in my garden. After a couple of weeks I picked the tails from the ground and went on holiday for six weeks. When I arrived home there was only a handful tails had grown back. After fighting this plant for years I have finally found something that works, no doubt I will have to keep at it as none of the surrounding neighbours seem bothered about the problem. This product is highly recommended by me.
