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 mixture has killed off the Marestail as well as the previous Kurtail product. No doubt it will still come back next year, although hopefully less dense. We have neighbours who have a similar problem, but they do nothing about it, so we are resigned to accepting a degree of regrowth.

Last year I sprayed the weeds in the gravel yard of our sailing club using Roundup. Most of the weeds died but the horsetail laughed it off. This year I used SBK with KPlus on the horsetail. After a week or so it had withered completely. It will be interesting to see if it returns next year but if it does I have plenty left!

Thrilled with the results, completely brown and dead after just 2 applications on a weed I never thought I'd get rid of, will be placing a repeat order soon

Excellent product. My 2 front gardens are adjoining the edge of a golf coarse which has extensive area of woody weeds on the other side of the fence which separates us. We get a lot of this growing through the fence gap as well as other weeds settling in the flower beds at the fence and on pathways. Mares tail was another problem which was successfully suppressed by an order I bought a few years back. I have applied the SBK to spikey branches from the Golf coarse and have noticed they are dying off now other weeds have all died off which were in the pathways so yes I highly recommend this product. Many thanks.

It works! We've had a mare's weed issue for some time, and had tried a number of other products, which were all useless.

Does exactly what it says - kills the Marestail but not the grass, hopefully I can finally rid my lawn of this weed once and for all. Brilliant product.
