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 sprayed Marestail on 26 June. It looked pretty dead after a week though some stalk have stayed green. 5 weeks later I sprayed the bits I had missed and 3 small areas of regrowth. I'm guessing I shall have to keep an eye on it for a while but the stuff seems excellent. It's easy to use too. I mixed the water conditioner before adding the Brushwood Killer and used a pressure sprayer with the nozzle set quite narrow. My location is in a wild flower area of my garden, mostly little geraniums. Hoping I won't lose all of those so trying not to spray too widely.

This really works and within 2 weeks it was dead and easy to remove. Obviously may need to treat again but so far the best product to get rid of marestail

Sprayed only once and achieved 95% kill on marestail. Only pieces left were where infestation was really dense. Will hopefully get the rest when it starts to grow. The Kplus seems to have certainly helped ad the Brushwood killer certainly adhered to plants and survived a couple of showers. Really pleased.

Pouring the concentrate is a bit of a challenge but after that the product is phenomenal. I’ve been plagued with horsetail for years and this is the first product EVER to kill it. Few more applications and hopefully we will be horsetail free

I followed the instructions and added the K plus Intensifier and it worked. Thanks for the advice. Will zap them again if they don't behave!!!

Very very good product. Within a couple of days weeds had started to turn brown and die off. Works extremely well with the smart water as this acts as a gel and sticks to the plant. No need to worry if it rains after application .. it won't wash off. Very pleased with everything, the products, the service and aftermarket customer service. Highly recommend.
