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.

Used a week ago on rampant marestail on a neglected allotment site. Glyphosate had no noticeable effect but this has really worked. We’ll see how much regrowth there is this season and next but a very promising start. Will retreat later in the summer. Tip: inevitably there are a few patches where I missed with the sprayer, I should have ordered dye marker as well. Excellent service.

I found the SBK and KPlus to be excellent in dealing with marestail, which I'd been fighting with for at least 30 years without success. It did return the following year, but not as bad. Hopefully, this year will also see a reduction. Also, it didn't harm the grass, so was able to target stray shoots coming through. I suggested this product to a couple of my neighbours, and they are also very pleased with this product.

I had a serious problem with Marestail as did my neighbour which after three treatments have got on top of the problem, this product did a great job so hopefully it wont return but will be ready if there's any sign of it returning, would recommend this product

1st Treatment in Sept 2020, and Horsetail dead within 2 weeks. 2nd treatment in Oct 2020 for remaining Horsetail new shoots. So far, so good. Very easy to mix and apply. Sprays easily in a controlled manner. Easy to avoid plants you wish to retain. Would recommend as I had areas of Horsetail that were carpet like!!! Hoping it doesnt come back in 2021 or at least is massively reduced.
