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.

This is a good weed killer. I found for the copious amounts of marestail I have, it is hard to apply between plants but does it’s job on larger areas.

I had a particular problem with marestail invading from the neigbour’s “wild” garden - after trying several other weed killers this combination worked very well

Signs of my Horsetail (Marestail) nightmare problem wilting happened within 24 hours of application using a mist sprayer. Within a week the green growth was turning brown. Dead within three to four weeks but only time will tell if the weedkiller made it to or had the desired effect of killing the root system! Definitely most effective when shoots are eight inches tall. Small growths need to be given a couple of weeks to reach 8 inches high before respraying.

These are brilliant. I’ve been battling with marestail in my garden for about 20 years and finally seem to be winning and the marestail seems to be dying off even in the lawn. Have to keep applying as new bits come up and will probably have to keep using as neighbours don’t do any gardening. Thank you Alice at Progreen for your advice. You have been so helpful
