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.

I accepted some topsoil from someone not realising it has horse tail in it. This works fab on the weed, and although will be a long process, this is really helping me. Dosing measuring very awkward so now use measuring jug.

Well recommended; tried alsorts on Maretail and just keeps on popping up. Sprayed this stuff and two weeks later has obliterated the weed. Got plenty left; if it makes a suprise visit at a later date

I purchased these items to eradicate Marestail which was getting ever more visible in the garden. After reading up I was directed to SBK, ordered the brushwood killer and after using it in various places around the garden it appears to be doing the job. It takes a few days but definitely works and it is just a matter of remaining vigilant and catching it, if and when it re-appears. As yet I have seen no re-growth but I am ever ready to catch it should it show. Very pleased.

Really impressed with how these products have killed off the Mair’s Tail issue I had. Also, the integrated measure/filler as part of the plastic bottle makes mixing really safe and easy. Would recommend these products!
